Typically all atoms have paired electrons surrounding the nucleus. Our natural metabolic processes cause some of these atoms to lose a single electron, resulting in a highly unstable particle called a free radical. The free radical will try and remedy the unnatural state of an unpaired electron by stealing an electron from another normal atom. This causes a chain reaction of free radical creation that, over time, damages the cells of the body. This process is referred to as oxidation, and many scientists regard oxidative cell damage caused by free radicals to be one of the root causes of the metabolic deterioration that comes with aging.
Antioxidants are substances that are able to donate an electron to convert free radicals back to a normal state, without becoming unstable themselves. Thus antioxidants help protect the cells and tissues of the body from oxidative damage. Vitamins with strong antioxidative properties include beta carotene (vitamin A), vitamin C, and vitamin E. The trace mineral selenium has also shown similar properties.
The fossil record shows that the maidenhair tree, widely known by its scientific name Ginkgo biloba, existed some 270 million years ago, making it the most ancient tree species known. This living relic is very rich in antioxidants and flavanoids, and may help to improve blood flow and microcirculation in the capillaries. Microcirculation is important for oxygen and nutrients to enter the brain through the blood brain barrier.
