Imagine a soldier being attacked 10,000 times in a day! Will the soldier succumbed? You think? No person, even with herculean strength can withstand such onslaught.
And yet this is what is happening in our bodies every day. Each cell is estimated to cope with 10,000 attacks by free radicals every single day! When the number of free radicals exceed the availability of antioxidants to combat these free radicals, oxidative stress occurs. As you may already know, oxidative stress causes cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. There are many ongoing research that claims that oxidative stress also causes muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, cataract formation and Crohn's disease.
A healthy person's body produces enough antioxidants to do the job of eradicating free radicals. But the majority of us do not consume enough of the necessary nutrients to enable the body to build up an immune system capable of defending all its 7 trillion cell universes from all the stresses the body is exposed to daily. In view of this, it goes without saying that we need dietary supplements to fill the dietary deficiencies.
