The role antioxidants play in your life … in terms of both your health and your longevity … is astounding.

By controlling free radicals, antioxidants can make the difference between life and death, as well as influence how fast and how well we age.”
(Dr. Lester Packer)

The Antioxidant Miracle

Dr. Packer has published over 700 scientific papers and 70 books on every aspect of antioxidants and health, including “The Handbook of Natural Antioxidants” and “Understanding the Process of Aging: The Roles of Mitochondria, Free Radicals, and Antioxidants”.

Don’t underestimate the threat free radicals pose to our health. Scientists now believe that free radicals are causal factors in nearly every known disease, from heart disease to arthritis to cancer to cataracts. In fact, free radicals are a major culprit in the aging process itself.”
