Take a whole Apple and leave in out in the environment - it starts to rot.

Expose us to the elements of every day living AND WE TOO SUFFER FROM OXIDATIVE STRESS....

Oxidative Stress is the cellular damage caused by an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body. We all have it!
BUT left unchecked, it accelerates the ageing process, and can cause inflammation, illness and disease.

When we reduce Oxidative Stress we then can function at a higher level and improve wellness. Being able to make our own Antioxidants is the key to helping our body deal with Free Radicals and Oxidative Stress overload.
