Antioxidants are stable atoms which inhibit oxidation caused by free radical.
Free radical scavengers are types of antioxidant that inhibit free radicals before they can orchestrate a chain reaction that can not be stopped until all electrons in the outermost ring are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.
Oxidative stress is associated with chronic disease due to the imbalanced ratio of free radicals and antioxidants produced by the host includes heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Antioxidants besides produced by the body, they can also come into the body dietary sources.
In a healthy individual, an antioxidant produced by the body is good enough to counter the expression of free radicals induced by cell metabolism and free radicals induced by the environment such as the air we breathe and the food we eat.
However, people with a weakened immune system, intake of antioxidant from outside sources such as fruits and vegetables can be helpful.
Believe it or not. moderate free radicals in the body are necessary for the body functioning, including the promotion of heart function in blood circulation.
* Catalases, the very important enzyme is produced by the host that protect the cell from oxidative damage by free radicals.
*Glutathione peroxidase, is a cytosolic enzyme produced by the host that dissolves hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen and peroxide radicals to alcohols and oxygen.
*Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and vitamin D.
Betanin is phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments of Betacyanins, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.
In the urgency to find a natural compound for the treatment of diseases associated with overexpression of free radicals, researchers examined the betanin free radical scavenging activity.
According to the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay, at a pH > 4, betanin is about 1.5-2.0-fold more active to scavenge free radical compared to those of anthocyanins.

In other words, the efficacy of betanin high free radical scavenging activity was dependent on the levels of pH.
Taken altogether, betanin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.
