Xanthone

What is Xanthone?

To understand this happy chemical, the first thing you should know is a little bit about its chemical makeup. What follows is going to be just a little bit of bland textbook chemistry. Be with me on this one, I won’t lead you astray.

Xanthone is an organic compound (meaning it contains carbon) that has a molecular structure that you might remember from chemistry class as C13H8O2. This chemical can have a positive effect on the human body, such as acting as an antioxidant, which prevents damage to cells.

What’s In It for Me?

To understand what an antioxidant such as Xanthone can do for you, you first have to understand what a free radical is. A free radical is a highly reactive atom that, because of its unpaired nature, can easily cause a chemical reaction in an environment. This can lead to all sorts of unpleasant chemicals that can cause cellular damage.

Those cells that are damaged by the free radicals? They’re in your body. I don’t want my cells damaged. I don’t suppose you want your cells damaged? No? That’s kind of what I figured. By introducing an antioxdant into the body, such as Xanthone, you can decrease potential damage to your cells.
