Free radicals are unstable molecules that are missing an electron in their outer shell. They can damage cell structure and function through their habit of stealing electrons from stable cells. At any given time, your body is full of free radicals. They occur naturally due to various chemical reactions in the body, and a controlled amount of oxidation is necessary for certain processes. However, an excess of free radicals can be created due to chronic stress, aging, poor nutrition and exposure to environmental toxins.
Antioxidants are substances that can neutralize free radicals by donating their excess electrons. But when there are not enough antioxidants to balance the free radicals in your body, this can lead to oxidative stress. The long-term effects of oxidative stress can lead to damage to cells, proteins and DNA in the body. The brain is particularly vulnerable during oxidative stress since it needs a considerable amount of oxygen to function optimally. During oxidative stress, free radicals can impact the integrity of the brain’s cellular structures, and even cause cell death in some cases. These outcomes can impact cognitive function and increase the risk of more serious neurodegenerative events.
CanPrev’s BioPQQ® provides 10 mg of pyrroloquinoline quinone, an antioxidant 7 times more powerful than vitamin C. This non-synthetic formula is highly bioavailable and helps neutralize free radicals to prevent oxidative stress and its impact on cognitive health.
