anti-free radicals


Explanation:
That's because it is talking about something that is 'anti' 'free radicals'!

Do be wary, however, as FR often uses 'anti' in ways that sit awkwardly in EN — so you may need to do some research around the basic term and find out if you can re-word it better.

agree  Shabelula: it's the hyphen in between that puzzles me. I can't pick the grammar here // thanks. a rule I never learnt, I 'll look it up
53 mins
  -> 'free radical' is an accepted term that needs no hyphen; in EN (unlike FR), 'anti-' often takes a hyphen when it is tacked on in a rather ad hoc way: an anti-cancer drug, but antifreeze. It gets more complicated when the second term is already 2 words!

agree  Joseph Tein: Actually, you're right. My mistake; I should have done the research and checked your link. My apologies.
4 hrs
  -> "Do the research"?! There is absolutely no need to be so patronising to a professional colleague with many years of experience in the field. I think you will find that the term "antiradical" is often used. // Thank you for your apology Joseph.
