Free radicals are naturally produced in the body through the normal functioning of body systems and various physicochemical conditions, or through exposure to external sources such as pollutants and chemicals, and other environmental agents. There’s no way to avoid them; they’re a result of normal physiological processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo why are free radicals bad? Molecules with an unpaired electron are highly unstable and reactive. They’ll seek out another molecule and either give it their extra electron or take one of its electrons – creating another free radical. Free radicals thus start chain reactions that can damage a cell and its important constituents, including proteins, lipids and even DNA. This destructive process can lead to overall disruption of our body’s delicate balance, known as homeostasis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the course of your lifetime, free radical damage tends to accumulate, and scientists theorize that this accumulated damage contributes to cellular dysfunction and ultimately to declining health as we age, and is thought to be a significant part of the aging process itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can’t avoid free radicals; they’re part of the body’s normal processes. But we can minimize their impact on our health and our appearance with free radical scavengers. A free radical scavenger may also be known as an antioxidant and refers to any molecule that’s stable enough to donate an electron to a free radical currently on a tear through your body, neutralizing it or reducing its capacity to do harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tagged_as\"\u003eTags:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"chip has-remove-button remove-on-hover color-strong\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"content\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text\"\u003eanti-ageing|antioxidant|brain health|herb|Vegan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Polaris-LegacyCard\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NHT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52864095289709,"sku":"NOW-03364","price":39.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/2961\/2141\/files\/Pine_Bark_240mg_90VC_Front_1200x1200_3364.png?v=1778033232","url":"https:\/\/wellnessdispatch.co.nz\/products\/pine-bark-extract-240mg-90vc","provider":"Wellness Dispatch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
