The Human body has a trillion cells facing formidable threats, from cell deterioration, infection with a virus, etc. We often overlook the threats from chemicals called free radicals. The body generates free radicals as inevitable byproducts of turning food into energy. They can damage cells and genetic material if they are at high levels. This leads to ageing like wrinkles, lack of eye health and short memory. Therefore, the body should always have a supply of “antioxidants”, which cope with the free radicals to prevent some of the damage caused.

Antioxidants can slow damage to cells caused by free radicals and can lower the risk of chronic oxidative stress-related cardiovascular diseases, cancer, etc. Moreover, antioxidants provide protection against many sources of ageing. Thus, people often use antioxidants in supplements for beautification, anti-ageing and well-being.

The above nutrients can be easily extracted into concentrated ingredients which are easier to consume and can be used to make a variety of food applications.
