Antioxidants - Uckele Health and Nutrition, Vita Flex Equine SupplementsAntioxidants manufactured by Uckele and Vita-Flex are molecules that slow or prevent the oxidation of other chemicals. Although oxidation reactions are critical for life, they can also be damaging; hence, plants and animals maintain complex systems of multiple types of antioxidants, such as glutathione, vitamin C, and vitamin E. Oxidation plays a role in aging, as well as, diseases associated with aging like cancer or arthritis. Antioxidants are found in abundance in nice green grazing pastures but grain and hay fed horses may be missing out on some naturally occuring antioxidants derived from a healthy grazing lifestyle.
