Frequently Asked Questions

Free Radicals & Antioxidants

Hi. My name is Aris. I am wondering.

1. What are free radicals?
2. How exactly do anti-oxidants work with free radicals?

If possible help me to know, please.
Thanks.

Answer

Dear Aris,

We have an article on our site on Antioxidants written by our Managing Editor Dr. Kouris-Blazos

We also have an article on antioxidant properties of tea, coffee and cocoa.

We would also like to refer you to a paper co-authored by our Editor-in-Chief, Professor Mark Wahlqvist, that appeared in the Australian Prescriber.

Wahlqvist M, Wattanapenpaiboon N. Antioxidant Nutrients. Aust Prescr 1999;22;142-4.

We are looking at putting some more information about Free Radicals and Antioxidants on our web site soon, so stay tuned!

Regards,
The HEC Team.
