Enzymatic antioxidants are naturally occurring proteins in the body that help protect cells from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals. These enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, work by neutralizing free radicals, preventing oxidative stress that can damage DNA, proteins, and cell membranes. This process is essential for maintaining healthy cells and supporting overall health. Their activity is a crucial part of the body's defense system against aging and disease-related damage.
