    What are Free Radicals?

    Free Radicals can be very good in one hand but very bad in the other hand. Free Radicals are a group of atoms that contain oxygen plus electrons that can not only damage the cell membranes but can also damage the bodies protein and DNA. The good hand is that Free Radicals actually help the body produce energy however if your pet is ill or is run down with an injury than the free radicals will turn and steal the electrons from the nearby molecules which in turn will cause cellular damage.

    Free Radicals are also known, studied by Dr.Patrick a Holistic Vet in Los Angles to be a contributing factor to:

    • Heart Disease
    • Cancer
    • Arthritis

    What are Antioxidants?

    Antioxidants are molecules that fight free radicals in your pets diet, put simply and can be either water-soluble or fat-soluble. Water-soluble being the fluid inside and outside the cells and fat-soluble being the ones that act mainly in the cell membranes. Along with Vitamin E is also recommend to include Vitamin C and Flavonoids (Plant Antioxidants) to your pets diet.
