Antioxidants are compounds that terminate chain reactions that occur in cells when free radicals are formed by oxidation reactions. When left unchecked, these change reactions can cause changes to cell structure and eventual death of the cell. Antioxidants can help prevent this from occurring and have been investigated in cancer, heart disease and other diseases. Kirkman’s Before Baby™ Antioxidant Super Blend contains the most powerful antioxidant combination we could formulate to prevent free radical activity in the body.
