Product Information
Free radicals are produced as a normal consequence of biochemical processes in the body and as a result of increased exposure to environmental and/or dietary xenobiotics. Although free radicals can cause damage to the body, at the same time they can be beneficial components of the immune response, hepatic cytochrome p450-mediated detoxification, and regulation of smooth muscle tone. An imbalance in the pro-oxidant versus antioxidant processes (oxidative stress) is thought to contribute to ill health.

Small Animal Antioxidant was designed to provide a broad-spectrum nutrient and botanical antioxidant formula. While antioxidants have broad activity within the cells or cell membranes of the body, certain antioxidant nutrients and botanicals appear to have a particular affinity for certain bodily tissues.
