Free radicals are toxic oxygen molecules that wreak havoc within your pet’s body. These toxins are found in chemicals, metals and air pollution. When present in large qualities, free radicals pose a serious threat to your pet’s health. They may contribute to conditions such as heart disease, cancer, cataracts and also contribute to the aging process.
Thankfully, there are powerful compounds known as antioxidants that can help your pet fight off and destroy these harmful invaders. Antioxidants are found in certain healthy foods and are absolutely vital to preserving cellular integrity. Both cabbage and horseradish are high in antioxidants, which is why Mulligan Stew has chosen to add these cruciferous vegetables to our revolutionary pet food formula. Mulligan Stew was developed from sound scientific principles with an emphasis on promoting optimal cellular health and increasing antioxidant protection.

I drink the Vitamin Water called triple x for antioxidants because I understand the importance of antioxidants in my own life, but i never understood the extreme importance of it in my dogs life. I want to make sure I get some antioxidants for my dog, what is the best route to go with that? I considered just pouring some of my vitamin water into the pet’s bowl!

Oxygen is interesting in the fact that it is required for life, yet is responsible for much of the damage to our (mammals) cells.
Since most free radicals are types of oxygen molecules, it is important to increase the activity of the antioxidant enzymes within the mammal’s body, which helps to prevent cellular damage by these free radicals.
Maintaining a high level of substances such as flavoniods and sulfur-containing amino acids assures that these enzymes will reach a peak activity.
These compounds (flavonoids, catotenes) are found in most all vegetables and unprocessed foods and are recognized for their safe dossages.
It is important to be aware of the vitamins and minerals which conduct increased antioxidant enzyme activity, as some minerals and vitamins in excess can actually do more harm than good to your animal (iron, copper and vitamin C for example).
In general, giving our pets foods and supplements which are high in flavonoids and catotenes as well as sulfur, insures a greater probability of antioxidant and free radical protection.

An amendment to my last blog;
Carotenes was misplelled as catatenes.
