Good Condition - Minor cover wear and creasing, with tanned page edges. Otherwise pages are clean and tidy.

Lester Packer and Carol Colman introduce readers to Packer's concept of an antioxidant network and its place in his approach to nutrition and ageing. Written for a general audience, the book discusses free radicals, the interactions of antioxidant compounds and the authors' interest in lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, Pycnogenol and vitamins E and C. Explanations of research sit alongside the Packer Plan, which brings together the authors' proposals about food, supplements and personal health routines. Reflecting the scientific discussion and nutritional outlook of its publication period, this is an accessible account of a particular researcher's ideas about cellular protection, dietary choices and the possibilities he associated with antioxidant research.
