In simple terms, an antioxidant is a chemical compound that protects cells against the effects of free radicals (molecules produced when the body breaks down food or is exposed to pollutants such as tobacco smoke or radiation). Our bars are chock full of antioxidants–from the cacao and coconut oil, to the cinnamon, lavender, peppermint and cayenne. That’s a lot of good stuff crammed into a little piece of heaven, don’t you think?
