Polyphenol molecules are an important source of antioxidants because they have a chemical  structure ideal to absorb the free radicals. Polyphenol molecules are more powerful antioxidants than vitamins.

This combustion  generate wastes called free radicals. An antioxidant is simply a molecule that transforms the free radicals in products to decrease damaging  effects.

POLYPHENOLS: TO HELP PROTECT AGAINST DISEASES

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM OF PLANTS

Phytochemical compounds produced by plants have  antibacterial and antifungal functions. Introduced in these products, Nat-Phen offer a protection against diseases for animals and an health fortification by an increase of the immune response system.
