In our daily life we are continuously exposed to both exogenous and endogenous agents. These are internal or external harmful substances that promote free radical formation that damage our organism.

They are organic and water-soluble micronutrients of vital importance for human beings. We are referring to the B vitamins. As we cannot synthesize them, we have no choice but to obtain them from the environment through food intake.
