Antioxidants Control AGE

Do you know?
Antioxidants can prevent important age accelerator - the formation of AGE (Advanced Glycation End Products), which are created by a process called glycation that damages Protein. Glycation occurs when glucose reacts with proteins resulting the cross-linking of protein as well as the formation of Free Radicals. A huge number of these proteins can lead to outer sign of premature aging, such as wrinkles and brown spots on the skin, and can cause even more destruction inside the body. Heart disease, cataracts, arthritis and even Alzheimer's disease have been associated with the cross-linking of proteins. The universal antioxidants alpha-lipoic acid as well as other antioxidants can control the formation of AGE
