A potent antioxidant formula designed to protect the body against oxidative damage from potentially harmful chemicals called free radicals.

How Blackmores Bio ACE works
Antioxidants act as free-radical scavengers'. Free
radicals are common in the body, arising through a
variety of mechanisms. Some are generated in the body as
part of normal energy-producing processes, some are
generated by pollutants such as air pollution, and some
are generated by lifestyle factors such as excess
dietary fats, cigarette smoke, and alcohol ingestion.
Many of these free radicals are dealt with by the body's
own free radical, antioxidant defences. Some free
radicals, however, escape these defences, and tend to
accumulate. Research suggests that this accumulation of
free radicals can result in cellular damage.
The nutrients vitamin C, vitamin E, betacarotene and
zinc in Bio ACE have antioxidant properties that reduce
the risk of cell damage attributed to free radicals.
Vitamin B6 and folic acid enhance the antioxidant
nutrients in this formula.
