Our body needs plenty of antioxidants to defend itself against the assault of free radicals on healthy cells

A balance between free radicals and antioxidants is necessary for proper physiological function. If free radicals overwhelm the body's ability to regulate them. Free Radicals and Antioxidants is a peer reviewed journal
aiming to communicate high quality research articles, short
communications, and reviews in the field of free radicals biology and
antioxidants. The journal aims to further research into the
physiological, pathobiological, functional and therapeutic implications
and applications of free radical biology and antioxidant agents. The
Journal welcomes original contributions examining various aspects of the
biological role of free radicals through in vitro, in vivo and animal
model studies.
How do antioxidants work? Antioxidants counteract the effect of “oxidation,” a chemical process by
which our cells’ electrons are transferred to an oxidizing agent. Think
of an apple slice turning brown—this is an everyday example of
oxidation. Antioxidants, as you might guess, neutralize or fight this
process.
