Antioxidants provide the extra electrons to the free radicals and prevent them from causing damage to the body’s cells and tissues. Since world war II the free radicals biochemistry came into vogue. Free radicals have been implicated in the etiology of several human diseases as well as ageing [1, 2]. …
