    Glossary Free Radical Scavenging

    neutralizes harmful molecules to protect cells from damage

    Free radical scavenging refers to the process by which certain molecules, known as antioxidants, neutralize free radicals—unstable atoms or molecules that can damage cells, proteins, and DNA by stealing electrons through oxidation. This process is crucial in protecting the body from oxidative stress, which is linked to aging and various diseases, including hair loss conditions like alopecia.
