Description
Visionaid Plus is a powerful antioxidant formulated with vitamins and minerals that help minimise free radical damage.
Free radicals are unstable atoms in our body which are constantly produced, especially in times of stress or through air pollution, radiation and ultraviolet light. Free radicals are thought to be responsible for a whole host of diseases and also contribute to premature aging. They cause cell deterioration, opening the floodgates to diseases such as cancer.
Antioxidants can help counter the effect of free radicals. Some of the most important are beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and selenium.
