antioxidative
Prevents cellular damage
Antioxidative describes something that prevents or slows oxidation—the chemical process that degrades materials or, in biological contexts, damages cells.
The term appears in technical and health contexts: antioxidative properties of green tea, antioxidative enzymes.
It overlaps almost entirely with antioxidant as an adjective, though antioxidative sounds more clinical.
