What Are Antioxidants?

We've all heard about antioxidants, but do you really know what they are or how they benefit your body and overall health? Let's start with the basics — there are compounds referred to as "free radicals" in your body that can cause health problems and harm if they are left unchecked. Illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease can result from these compounds, but antioxidants work to ensure that the levels of free radicals don't get too high and cause damage.

Where Can You Find Antioxidants?

Your body produces some antioxidants, and you can also find antioxidants such as Vitamin E and Vitamin C in fruits, vegetables, and plant-based foods such as berries, apples, cocoa, beans, avocados, and artichokes — but it isn't always easy to get enough on your own. However, antioxidant IV therapy or an antioxidant IV drip can provide an infusion of antioxidants to help you combat free radicals and ward off numerous harmful illnesses. One popular antioxidant ingredient in antioxidant IV therapy is glutathione.

Glutathione: The Mother of All Antioxidants

If you're looking for the most powerful antioxidant, it's tough to beat glutathione. This free-radical-killing amino acid works to detoxify your body, improve your immunity, and give you more energy to get you through the day. Glutathione is a firm supporter of tissue building and repair and protects against cellular damage caused by free radicals, lipid peroxides, heavy metals, and more.
