Antioxidants and free radicals are now familiar to the people of Indonesia. Free radicals are often associated with harmful things that interfere with health, while antioxidants are the antidote.

Antioxidants refer to the properties of molecules, which can ward off free radicals. Like free radicals, antioxidant molecules also come from the body, and some come from outside.

• Free Radicals
  Free radicals are oxidant compounds that can oxidize other compounds or molecules in the body. This oxidation can cause protein and DNA damage that can lead to atherosclerosis, cancer, aging, and other diseases. Oxidants in the form of free radicals can come from exposure to UV rays, X-ray radiation, cigarette smoke, air pollution, pesticides, food and others.

• Antioxidant
  Antioxidants are compounds that can prevent, delay, and slow down the oxidation process of molecules in the human body, such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and DNA. Antioxidants will neutralize free radicals so that they no longer have the ability to steal electrons from cells and DNA.
