What Are Free Radicals Exactly?
Free radicals create a destructive process in our cells, causing the molecules within the cells to become unstable. They may even be a big player in the formation of cancerous cells by a “chain-reaction” effect, causing other cells to become damaged. Because of the inherent instability of free-radicals, they try to attack other healthy cells to get stable themselves. This then causes the once-healthy cells to react in the same way, attacking others in an never-ending attempt for cellular stability.
In layman’s terms, free-radicals are bullies that start pushing everybody around, and encourage nice cells to become bullies as well. Just like most conflicts, the results are “free radical waste products” made up of our broken, injured and deformed cells. If our cells are weak, it is natural that our organs, tissues and skin of the body will likewise become weakened.
As you can imagine, oxidative damage plays a huge role in many of our modern-day diseases, such as muscle and tissue degeneration, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, as well as many other health problems. You are exposed to free radicals as a normal bi-product of regular bodily processes, like breaking down the food we eat, taking toxic medicines, as well as through exposure to pollutants. In addition, over-exposure to the sun (sunburn) and smoking can also increase your body’s need to oxidize and create free-radicals. Antioxidants stop this cellular chain reaction of oxidation by neutralizing the free radicals.
Many plants and animals keep large amounts of antioxidants on hand, due to their role in preventing cell damage, as well as their ability to repair damaged cells. Studies have shown that antioxidants can play a role in reducing the cell-damage of free radicals. National Cancer Institute has stated that preliminary research in lab animals has shown that “antioxidants help prevent the free radical damage that is associated with cancer.” Many experts feel that increased antioxidants in the body can also help slow the process of aging, and may even increase longevity.
If berries are a good source of Antioxidants, why don't I just eat them then?
Well there's such thing as ORAC level. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities in biological samples in vitro. Another answer to this is, can U spontaneously EAT mangosteen's peel? Well, the mangosteen in EXO includes the pericarp as well as the whole fruit and the skin. The pericarp is in the rind of the Mangosteen and contains most of the antioxidant Xanthones. There are many more answers to WHY EXO IS THE BEST ANTIOXIDANT SOURCE THERE IS IN THE MARKET now.

Agel: An Overview
Imagine you were able to perfectly blend up a handful of berries... what would you get? Not a pill. Not a juice either... You would get a gel.
You have all the benefits of the nutrients in the juice part of the berries, plus all the benefits of the fibrous material, such as digestive stimulation, nutrient absorption and much more.
Enter Agel. Agel doesn’t do pills which can sit in the digestive system not breaking down and not delivering nutrients. Agel doesn’t do juices which don’t retain the fibrous base, key to nutrient delivery. Agel does gel. Agel maintains the fibrous base which enhances the body's ability to absorb nutrients, ensures a consistent delivery of hydrated nutrients every time, provides a soothing effect to the digestive system, and tastes great. Now, of course, not all nutrients come in gel form, at least not until now... But with Suspension Gel, you can get all the nutrients you’ll ever need in a delivery system that your body can use. Welcome to Agel. Welcome to health.
