Herbs which helps to protect body cells from the damaging effects of oxidation. Factors like stress, aging and pollution causes high level of free radicals in body which damage DNA and causes heart-diseases or cancer or stroke. Substances like vitamin E, vitamin C, or beta carotene act as anti-oxidant nutrients in the body. Vitamin E and beta-carotene protect cell membranes and vitamin C removes free radicals from inside the cell.
