Free Radicals Defined: Free radicals are a by-product of normal cell function. When cells create energy, they also produce unstable oxygen molecules. These molecules have a free electron. This electron makes the molecule highly unstable. The unstable molecules bind to other molecules in the body - causing proteins and other essential molecules to not function as they should.
