Selenium+Zinc is the ideal antioxidant complex, as it contains not only pure, organic selenium and zinc but also vitamins C and E, all of which have properties that contribute to the protection of our cells from oxidative stress. Selenium+Zinc may even be used as an alternative to multivitamin preparations with beta-carotene, a nutrient that smokers may want to avoid.
Antioxidants are compounds that are able to neutralize chemically unstable molecules in the body. These molecules are named free radicals and react with surrounding cells and tissue, causing damage. Antioxidants are certain vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds in our diet.
