A powerful antioxidant
As you may know, vitamin C is a magnificent antioxidant as well as; flavonols, phenolic compounds, sesquiterpenes, and carotenoids which are all packed in the often sweet fruit Jamaican Apple.
How important are antioxidants? Antioxidants involves the process of oxidation, which is a chemical reaction that produces free radicals that are dangerous for cells in your body, where they cause health problems like cancer, cataract, and even cardiovascular and inflammatory disease.
Antioxidants track down free radicals and neutralize their destructive effects. They do this by giving up some of their free electrons in order to pair with the unpaired valance electron possessed by a radical, which acts as a switch-off button. This aids to keep more of the body’s cells healthy and less susceptible to diseases like cancer.
