Myths about antioxidants

Against the backdrop of loud applause the wonderful antioxidant properties can hear a lot of critical remarks concerning their use. In particular, physicians have debunked the myth that between natural and synthetic antioxidants no difference. The substances of natural origin are more useful as they consist of at least two molecular isomers. A single-molecule synthetic antioxidants are not as effective in the fight against free radicals. Fans of "antioxidant" rejuvenation is included in the diet as many fruits, vegetables and dietary supplements based on natural ingredients and do not get involved in chemical pharmacy.

It is also greatly exaggerated the role of antioxidants in anti-aging cosmetics industry. They do not give anti-aging creams and serums properties because of their bulky molecules do not penetrate into the dermal layer. Manufacturers of cosmetics include in its composition of antioxidants only to she was not exposed to sudden oxidation processes.

And unfounded allegations that the miracle substance must be applied separately. On the contrary, most of the vitamins are better absorbed in the complex, for example, vitamin C is well combined with vitamin E.

What is the harm of antioxidants

US researchers have taken aback the world statement about the dangers of anti-oxidants. No, they do not try to call black white and does not detract from the benefits of fruits and vegetables. Simple experiments conducted by scientists from the University of Kansas found that an excess of these nutrients in the body can lead to abnormal muscle function. Abuse antioxidants negatively affects the process of circulation, because it just requires the presence of oxidants. The key to good health is a sustained antioxidant and prookislitelny balance. A trigger lock bust antioxidant capacity of the body to deliver oxygen to the muscles. Therefore it is better to stick to the "golden rule": everything is good in moderation.
