Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves.Well known aging effects such as skin wrinkling, vision impairment, joint problems, and diseases ranging from cancer to arthritis are a result of free radical damage.
