FAQ

Abnormal oxygen is constantly being formed in the body during all metabolic processes. A normal oxygen atom has two pairs of electrons revolving around the nucleus. This means the oxygen atom is in balance. During the metabolic processes in the body an extra electron attaches itself to the oxygen atom, making it unstable and biochemically very active. This kind of oxygen atom is called a free radical (‘abnormal' oxygen). It wants to pass on the extra electron to its nearest neighbour, or remove an electron from its next door neighbour to again make up a pair of electrons to revolve around its nucleus in order to restore a natural balance or equilibrium. This in turn will cause the neighbour to become a free radical. This process causes a chain reaction which can wreak havoc in a cell.
