With a world buzzing with technology and
radiating with chemicals, it can become difficult to really understand how
today’s lifestyles are affecting our bodies and health. However, medical and
scientific knowledge has proven it has become even more important to
understand, realize and invest into our health. For centuries, our ancestors
have extracted and utilized all types of natural products for treatments,
medications, and cleansing purposes. Botanic Planet has promised a focus to
encourage the use of these natural products for all sorts of means. From
everyday-use products such as cleansing, beautifying to products to help you
relax, detoxify and rejuvenate, we hold all the natural products to achieve
every one of your goals.
With changing eating habits, poor air quality, increasing use of pesticides in our foods and chemicals in our medications, free radicals, or oxygen-containing molecules, grow excessively in our bodies and cause negative long chain reactions known as oxidation. This process of oxidation becomes harmful as these free-radicals can cause damage to cells, proteins and DNA.
In order to reverse this process and maintain the right balance within the body, antioxidants are required for a healthy physiological function of the body. Nowadays, this oxidative stress on the body is treated with more chemicals in medications and treatments available. This simply becomes a vicious cycle we all have sadly accepted.
Antioxidants and their importance
Antioxidants provide a critical role in providing protection from damaging free radicals. Botanic Planet holds some of the most popular antioxidants such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Coffee Herbal Oil, Matcha Green Tea Herbal Oil, Co-Q-10 Oil, Rosemary Extract, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Licorice Root Extract. Here are some natural antioxidants we discuss in this blog, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Green Tea, Vitamin E and Vitamin C.
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme
Q10 (CoQ10), is a vitamin found in small amounts in a wide variety of foods and
is synthesized in all tissues. It acts as a powerful antioxidant, by
neutralizing cell-damaging molecules or free radicals.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
This
antioxidant is fairly unique in its function as it neutralizes free radicals in
both the fatty and watery regions of cells, in contrast to vitamin C (which is
water soluble) and vitamin E (which is fat soluble).
Green Tea
For centuries, green tea has been popular in
India, China, Japan, Iran and in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine. It is
used as a stimulant, diuretic (to promote the excretion of urine), astringent
(to control bleeding and help heal wounds), and to improve heart health.
Vitamin C
This
antioxidant is known to be water-soluble in its form working to destroy free
radicals usually in collaboration with vitamin E. Vitamin C is critical in
mainly helping the immune system to fight off foreign invaders and tumor cells
Vitamin E
It
has been determined through multiple studies that vitamin E plays a key role in
limiting the production of free radicals in the body which ultimately prevents
or delays in the development of some chronic cardiac diseases. Further, vitamin
E is significant in overall immune function, DNA repair and other metabolic
processes.
Antioxidants are essential in keeping our bodies in balance from the exposure it has to our everyday environment. Visit Botanic Planet for all your natural products to help you boost your immune systems, detoxify, cleanse with the help of antioxidants and be radical-free!
