Good sources: Rapid growing veggies (cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts), citrus fruits, and raw potatoes RDA: 60 mg/d. There is an active pool in the body of about 1500 mg. There is a limit to Vit C absorption. If you consume 100 mg then 100% is absorbed. However, if you consume 12,000 mg then only [...]

Cardiovascular Disease & Oxidative Stress – How Plaques Form
Oxidative stress & damage is one of the steps in the formation of plaques that lead to cardiovascular disease. Antioxidants can help decrease this risk.

Oxidative Damage Explained
If you looked at the ETS then you know that oxygen is essential for adequate energy production. It accepts the electrons generated in glycolysis and Kreb’s. However, oxygen can also be detrimental. Free radicals are produced from exposure to one of several factors. Inflammation, radiation (i.e. x-rays), aging, high pO2, smog (such as ozone or [...]
