The Antioxidant Properties of PABA
PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) is a powerful antioxidant, and as such is used as a supplement to destroy free radicals and prevent them destroying the cells in your body. Free radicals are small oxygenated molecules such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the superoxide ion (O2-) that contain unpaired electrons. As soon as they are formed, these species immediately grab electrons from their nearest neighbors to pair with their own, and in so doing can destroy the structure of these neighbors. This is a major cause of aging, and if the neighbors are skin cells, these are destroyed eventually causing severe wrinkling of the skin.
Liver spots are oxidized fatty deposits just under the epidermis, and PABA can prevent all of this taking place. Its antioxidant nature means that it can neutralize these free radicals as they are formed, and prevent disruption of the skin cell membranes or the oxidization of fats under the skin. Free radicals are generated by the UV component of sunlight, by pollution such as traffic and industrial emissions and by your body's own metabolism. By destroying these highly reactive small molecules, PABA can help your skin to retain its youthful appearance for much longer than normal. A supplement for youth, you might say.
