FAQ

Free radicals can accumulate in the cell membrane, causing the membrane with its phospholipid (the cell membrane consists of layers of phosphates with lipids or fats intertwined) chains to eventually break and the cell content to leak from the cell, rendering the cell useless. It can also damage the cell nucleus containing the sensitive DNA molecule which controls all cell functions. Free radicals can also destroy enzyme systems and damage mitochondria (the power stations in each cell responsible for energy production).
