Antioxidants
Antioxidants are molecules that act as electron donors. Our bodies produce antioxidants and extract them from food to deactivate potentially damaging free radicals, leading to reduced oxidative stress and injury to cells. Our animation immerses the viewer in a field of two specific antioxidants–– nitric oxide and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) molecules –– before entering the inner atomic universe of a Vitamin C molecule.
