Vitamins and other substances found mainly in vegetables and fruit which are thought to prevent heart disease.

Any substance that reduces oxidative damage (damage due to oxygen) such as that caused by free radicals.

1. Natural or synthetic substances that prevent or delay the process of oxidation. Some food additives are antioxidants that act as preservatives by retarding deteriorization, rancidity or discolorati [..]

chemical compounds that scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are by-products of the oxidative reactions that can cause cell damage. (See "ORAC.")

Chemicals that protect against oxidation, which causes rancidity in fats and damage to DNA.

Substances that inhibit oxidation in plant and animal cells. Culinary, antioxidants help prevent food from becoming rancid or discolored. In the body, many scientists believe that antioxidants may contribute to reducing cancer and heart disease. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which is easily obtained from citrus fruits, is a well known natural antioxid [..]

These compounds from plant foods, including beta-carotene, vitamin C, and bioflavonoids, fight off cell attacking free radicals, or the unstable molecules your body produces when it’s exposed to environmental toxins. Antioxidants are most concentrated in the skin of fruits and veggies, so look for rich colored produce, which indicates high antioxid [..]

Micro-nutrients that destroy or neutralize free radicals.

Antioxidants are found in certain compounds and neutralise free radicals. Free radicals are a product of oxygen metabolism, which causes changes to cell membranes, proteins, lipids and DNA. An overloa [..]

Substances that prevent and repair cellular damage. Reduce the risk of cancer, boost the immune system, decrease the effects of aging like brain, organ and joint degeneration in older pets, and support a strong and healthy heart. Help preserve foods, maintain their nutrients, prevent them from spoiling, and keep them tasting good to pets.

chemicals that reduce the danger of oxygen-free radicals. Vitamin C is a common antioxidant.

Substances that help prevent the formation of free radicals, which can cause signs of aging in skin. Antioxidants protect tissue against cellular damage by stabilizing free oxygen molecules.

From natural sources, antioxidants capture the free radicals that can potentially damage skin. They also protect from environmental stressors and can also improve the overall health and quality of your skin.

Naturally occurring or synthetic substances that inhibit or retard the oxidation of a substance to which it is added. They counteract the harmful and damaging effects of oxidation in Animal Tissues.

Naturally occurring or synthetic substances that inhibit or retard the oxidation of a substance to which it is added. They counteract the harmful and damaging effects of oxidation in animal tissues.

Antioxidants: Chemical components that neutralize various substances that attack the cell membranes of humans.

There are natural antioxidants, such as enzymes, vitamins and minerals, within the cat's body. These are designed to protect the body from damage caused by substances called free radicals that ar [..]

Antioxidants are nutrients that decrease or slow oxidation, thereby protecting cells from free radicals which can cause degeneration to the body's cells. Antioxidants are therefore thought to protect the heart, arteries, and other tissues, as well as to boost the immune system.

Antioxidants are molecules which can interact with free radicals and terminate the chain reaction before vital molecules are damaged/

Antioxidants are nutrients that decrease or slow oxidation, thereby protecting cells from free radicals which can cause degeneration to the body's cells. Antioxidants are therefore thought to pro [..]

A vitamin or substance that impedes oxidation or spoilage promoted by oxygen or peroxide. Like vitamin E or beta-carotene it helps protect the skin from environmental damage caused by free radicals.

The term for natural and synthetic ingredients that are used to help prevent free radical and environmental damage to our skin. Ingredients include vitamins E and C, grape seed extract, coenzyme Q10,  [..]

A substance (e.g. vitamin e) that impedes oxidation or spoilage promoted by oxygen or peroxide. Like vitamin E or beta-carotene it helps protect the skin from environmental damage caused by free radicals.

Synthetic or natural substances added to products to prevent or delay their deterioriation by action of oxygen in air. In biochemistry and medicine, antioxidants are enzymes or other organic substances, such as vitamin E or beta-carotene, that are capable of counteracting the damaging effects of oxidation in animal tissue. (12 Dec 1998)

are substances that defuse or combat free radicals (see below).  Several antioxidant examples include vitamin C, vitamin E, lycopene, carotenoids and selenium.  Fruit and vegetables are particularly r [..]
