What are free radicals?
Essentially, free radicals are unstable molecules looking for a dance partner.

Molecules are, in part, made up of electrons. Those electrons usually come in even numbers. But free radicals have an odd number of electrons. And they’re not happy about it.

“Free radicals are missing an electron from their outer shell. That makes them unstable, so they go and steal an electron from the molecules in your skin cells, or from your blood cells or from wherever they can. That causes damage to surrounding cells,” DiMarino explains.

Thinking back to the dance, free radicals are the belligerent friend who’ll grab anyone in arm’s reach to do-si-do.

Antioxidants are also unstable and looking for a partner. Like free radicals, antioxidants have an uneven number of electrons. Unlike free radicals, though, antioxidants don’t typically steal from otherwise stable molecules to keep themselves in check.

But antioxidants do happily take an unpaired electron from a free radical. That makes both molecules even-steven.

In the absence of antioxidants, free radicals will tango with just about anyone. And they step on some toes in the process.
