Why We Need Antioxidants


⬇️ WHY WE NEED ANTIOXIDANTS ⬇️


Antioxidants protect our cells from toxins and free radical damage, but they are especially important for protecting our MITOCHONDRIA.


(for those in the back row—check out my recent posts about mitochondrial function 😉)


The thing is that mitochondrial DNA is less protected than nuclear DNA inside cells, so it is even more susceptible to damage from toxins.


Here are some of my favorite antioxidants to protect mitochondrial function:


▪️ CoQ10 (CoQ10)

▪️ Acetyl-l-Carnitine

▪️ Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)


It also helps to eat lots of fruits & veggies 🥦🫐🍅🥑🍋




When you’re ready to stop grabbing random supplements from the shelf of the health food store and instead get a personalized plan from a professional, message me for how to get started 🙌
