You may of heard about the health benefits of antioxidants, but what is an antioxidant and how do they actually work?
Antioxidants are dietary substances, including some nutrients such as beta carotene, Acai, vitamins C & E, that can prevent damage to your body cells or repair damage that has been done. Antioxidants work by significantly slowing or preventing the oxidative, (or damage from oxygen) process caused by substances called free radicals that can lead to cell dysfunction and the onset of problems like heart disease and diabetes. In your body, the antioxidant process is similar to stopping an apple from browning, once you cut an apple, it begins to brown, but-if you dip it in orange juice, which contains vitamin C, it stays white. When buying GNC Acai Berry with your Gold Card you can save 20%.
