Antioxidants are powerful molecules that inhibit the oxidation of other molecules.  Oxidation is both a blessing and a curse.  Oxidation is essential to life.  Its byproduct - free radicals - when overabundant, can cause a chain reaction that ultimately leads to cell aging and death.

Oxidative stress, which is a too-low level of antioxidants and therefore an overabundance of free radicals, appears to be an important part of many human diseases.  The use of antioxidants continues to be intensively studied, particularly as treatments for stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. However, it is unknown whether oxidative stress is the cause or the consequence of disease.

Antioxidants are widely used as ingredients in dietary supplements and have been investigated for the prevention of diseases such as cancer, coronary heart disease and even altitude sickness.
