How does anti-oxidation do ability get twice the result with half the effort?

What exactly is antioxidant?

In layman's terms, antioxidants are fighting free radicals

Free radicals are naturally present in our bodies and there's nothing wrong with them. It's just that sometimes our skin produces some "bad free radicals,"

These bad free radicals are aggressive and capable of wreaking havoc, interacting with the components of skin cells (including their DNA) to destroy normal cells and cause them to wither and die.

Under what circumstances can bad free radicals be produced?

1 Caused by external factors: ultraviolet light with high energy enters the skin and disconnects the originally stable biomolecules to produce "free radicals"

2 Internal cause: In order to obtain energy, cells will burn glucose in mitochondria, which is the main site for cells to obtain aerobic respiration, and this combustion process will produce "free radicals". As we age, our mitochondria age and we release free radicals, which attack our cells

How do you fight bad free radicals?

The body has a natural defense system against free radicals, which is responsible for eliminating free radicals and maintaining the normal order of cellular society.

For example, antioxidants (vitamin E, vitamin C, alpha-lipoic acid, glutathiin) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, are all representatives of maintaining order

Choose different types of antioxidant products, antioxidant day and night, to achieve twice the result with half the effort

Preferred daytime antioxidants:

Protection against uv free radicals (not that these ingredients can only be used during the day, but they work better during the day)

1️ Some active antioxidant components can be tightly held together with free radicals prior to skin cells and die together, in order to sacrifice themselves and eliminate free radicals (represented by vitamin C and VITAMIN E)

Some antioxidants, with their own UV absorption, help protect against sun damage and maintain vitamin C and E stability (e.g., ferulic acid)

3️ also some can help cell regeneration damaged by ULTRAVIOLET radiation, help VITAMIN C and E play a better role, daytime use is also good (such as α lipoic acid, EuK-134)

Preferred nighttime antioxidants:

(Not that these antioxidants should only be used at night, but on a budget, they work best at night)

Helps mitochondria produce energy that makes our skin cells healthier (represented by coenzyme Q10, Edbene, ergothione).

Eidobenzene is the sister of coenzyme Q10. The so-called "coenzyme" is the molecule assisting the "enzyme", but it is not an "enzyme" itself. In the "mitochondria", there are a large number of "coenzymes" involved in energy production.

Ergothionein can go deep into the mitochondria to play its antioxidant function. Mitochondria produce energy and consume oxygen every day. There are so many free radical wastes that ergothionein is a good helper.

One or two days of "oxidation" will not cause particularly obvious harm, but the damage of "oxidation" is accumulated over a long period of time. If we do not fight this trend on a daily basis, the effect over several years will be terrible.
