Mangosteen Rind Antioxidant Capacity

What do antioxidants do?
Their function is to travel through the body neutralising and reducing free radical damage, leaving your body more balanced and healthier than before. Usually, the body's natural defense systems neutralize free radicals that develop, rendering them harmless. However, environmental assaults on the body, such as UV-radiation, pollutants and alcohol, can overpower the body's ability to neutralize free radicals. Consuming more antioxidants helps provide the body with tools to neutralize harmful free radicals.
