Aside from the enzymatic antioxidantssuch as superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase, the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is also prevented by a nonenzymatic antioxidant system – the low molecular mass compounds such as glutathione, ascorbic acid, α-tocopherol, carotenoids and phenolic compounds.

The antioxidant enzymes convert dangerous oxidative products to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and then to water, in a multi-step process in presence of cofactors such as copper, zinc, manganese, and iron. Non-enzymatic antioxidants work by interrupting free radical chain reactions.
