Mechanism of action

These therapies employ various compounds (such as vitamins E and C, selenium, or other antioxidant agents) that donate electrons to unstable free radicals, preventing them from damaging cellular components like lipids, proteins, and DNA. By reducing oxidative stress, antioxidant therapies aim to mitigate inflammation, slow disease progression, and protect tissues from degenerative processes associated with various chronic conditions.
