TOP OF PAGE What do free radicals do?
They actually steal an electron from a cell. In fact they are absolutely desperate for an electron, much like an addict for a drug. They will damage a cell to get one. This is the whole process of free radical damage. This is what causes malignancy, loss of energy, aging and other diseases. An antioxidant is a compound which gives up an electron to a free radical making it harmless, protecting against cell damage. Hydrogen is the smallest atom of all, if you remember from your high school periodic chart. Microhydrin molecules are many times smaller than the larger molecules of any other antioxidant on the planet. But at the same time each Microhydrin molecule also releases only one electron. So one milligram of Microhydrin, and there are 250 in each tablet, gives up many more electrons than one milligram of any other antioxidant. But antioxidants work together in sort of a cascade synergy, i.e. Vit.C gives up an electron and becomes a weaker free radical, which is not damaging but once
