Free radicals (oxidants) are responsible for 73% of all diseases in the human body. Oxidants are unstable oxygen molecules that enter the human body in many ways. The instability of these molecules is caused by their missing of an electron. Because of this, they try to steal the missing electron from molecules in normal body cells, causing cell mutation. This mutation can speed up the aging process and cause an excessive number of diseases.

Examples of ways oxidants enter the body include: not eating right, drinking alcohol, using cosmetics or household cleaners, smoking cigarettes or cigars; being exposed to pollution, pesticides, or radiation, and using painting products. Because oxidants have so many ways of entry, it is almost impossible to avoid them. Our bodies produce antioxidants to neutralize their threat; but not at a quick enough rate to get rid of them all before it' is too late. Vitamin C helps your body produce antioxidants faster, so everyone should eat lots of foods that contain it. Unfortunately, most people do not eat the 8-10 fruit and vegetable servings per day needed to help the antioxidant production process.

Although there is no "miracle pill" that will defend against all diseases, there are many supplements that help the human body produce more natural antioxidants. This in case slows the aging process and helps us get the nutrients we should have gotten from normal food intake. Certain supplements have been proven to increase antioxidant production by about 40%. This is a significant help to normal body functions.

Vitamin Depot Online.com offers Super Curcumin. This is a supplement that contains the spice turmeric, which has remarkable qualities as an antioxidant.
