Antioxidants

Defend your body at the cellular level and protect your good health for a lifetime.

Fight off the damaging effects of free radicals with powerful antioxidants.

Our cells produce thousands of free radicals every day. Free radicals from the environment occur as an effect of stress, pollution and unhealthy eating habits. Oxidation is a damaging but essential process that our bodies create to generate energy. Without proper nutrition, oxidation can contribute to any number of debilitating diseases, including cancer, heart disease and aging. Fortunately, we can protect our bodies with the super power of antioxidants.

So what are antioxidants?
Antioxidants are chemical compounds that neutralize the effects of oxidation. The best-known antioxidants are vitamins A, C and E, and the mineral selenium. Often referred to as ACES, these antioxidants cannot be made by the body and must be ingested. Foods such as fruits and vegetables are a terrific source of antioxidant protection, but numerous Herbalife products offer some the same incredible benefits. For details about Herbalife's scientific-based antioxidant products.

Antioxidants should be an essential part of your daily supplement regimen and meal plan. The sheer power, variety and quality of Herbalife antioxidants, when combined with healthy eating habits, can defend your entire body from free radicals–and protect your health for years to come.
