What it is?

An antioxidant is a compound that neutralizes free radicals or oxidized atoms in the body and prevents or limits cellular damage.

How to feed?

Antioxidants are readily found in many fresh raw vegetables and fruits, such as blueberries, goji berries, carrots, and dark leafy greens. Other good sources include mushrooms, pine bark extract, milk thistle, phytoestrogens such as soybeans, and spices including rosemary, thyme, marjoram, oregano, sage, basil, pepper, clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg. All of these sources can be mixed into your dog’s bowl. Antioxidants are also in vitamins C, E, and A, quercetin, coenzyme Q10, and decaffeinated green tea. Minerals with antioxidant properties include selenium, manganese, and zinc.
