Pet Antioxidants
Pet Antioxidants are important to the health of your dog or cat because antioxidants are the major defense
against oxidative stress and free radical damage.
As part of normal cell metabolism, free radicals are produced. However, free radicals can become excessive
following disease, injury, or due to environmental pollutants such as smog, cigarette smoke, or UV radiation.
If free radicals overwhelm your pet's defense system, there may be cell and tissue damage that can shorten
your pet's life. Antioxidants gobble up free radicals, stopping them in their tracks.
Antioxidants keep the pet's cells healthy, including lungs, heart, blood cells, muscles, nerves, GI tract, and
reproductive organs. It was recently demonstrated that a cocktail of such antioxidants limited cell damage in
dogs and cats (Heaton et al, 2001).
