Antioxidant
A substance which slows down or neutralizes the runaway oxidative chain reactions caused by free radicals. Some of the most powerful antioxidants are enzymes produced by the body such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase. In addition, there are many micronutrients (i.e. vitamins A, C, and E, etc.) which are also antioxidants.
