The free radical theory of aging is not the only theory, but it has remained popular for a number of reasons. The first is that it provides a lot of reasons for aging that simply make sense and are very believable. The second is that with the increasing amount of research that is being done on free radicals and what they do, more connections are being found that tie free radicals with chronic, age related diseases. It’s easy to test the effects of antioxidants using dietary supplements. The free radical theory is also one which incorporates almost all the points used to support other theories of aging. It deals with metabolism, energy expenditure and and molecular changes at the level of the cellular DNA.
There are enough good reasons to go on here for anyone who is truly concerned with their health to pay attention to how their body is creating and using antioxidants and what they can do to help keep the supply of antioxidants ahead of the supply of free radicals.
Personally, in addition of MAXGXL which is one of my favorite products, I’m taking more Vitamin C and more CoEnzyme Q10 than I ever did before- but that’s just me.
