radicals (reactive oxygen species) flood the bloodstream—often due to poor diet or smoking—they scavenge and destroy nitric oxide before it can relax the vessel walls. Carotenoids neutralize these free radicals, ensuring that nitric oxide remains active and capable of keeping blood vessels dilated.
