 Think of your cells, including brain cells, each getting thousands of free-radical hits every day. This violent process is called “oxidation.”You may think of yourself as a peaceful sort, but there is an all-out, endless war going on in your body. Think of the entire body, including your DNA, undergoing this endless assault. Think of your cells, including brain cells, each getting thousands of free-radical hits every day. This violent process is called “oxidation.” Without antioxidants like vitamins E and C to fight off free radicals, the body’s cells would be locked in a losing battle for survival. Cutting-edge science reveals that the inevitable defeat of the body can perhaps be delayed. First, a short course on oxygen as major player on this battlefield… the oxygen we breathe is life-giving, but it is also toxic; it sets off a process that unleashes a big-time enemy, known as a “free radical.” This is a molecule lacking an electron on its outer orbit, making it extremely unstable. In a desperate attempt to reclaim their electrons, free radicals attack our cells to free up electrons, damaging the cells and boosting the probability of disease.Antioxidant task force of reinforcements is our saviors: they include vitamins and other nutrients that target free radicals. Our food, particularly fruits and vegetables, is a powerful source of these valiant protectors, and the body produces some itself. Without antioxidants, there wouldn’t be much of a fight. Their role is to limit the damage, maybe slow down disease and keep us living longer. They do this by giving up their very own electrons to those desperate free radicals and saving the cell from attack.

New research accepted for the publication in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, demonstrates Pycnogenol®, an antioxidant plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, improves the memory of senior citizens. The study results revealed Pycnogenol® improved both numerical working memory as well as spatial working memory using a computerized testing system. The research was presented at the Oxygen Club of California 2008 World  Congress on Oxidants and Antioxydants in Biology in Santa Barbara, CA.
