Antioxidant Supplements

This is one piece of the jigsaw that will make up your personal supplement programme.

The easiest way to do this is to take a comprehensive antioxidant supplement, in addition to a good multivitamin and mineral. Most reputable supplement companies produce formulas containing a combination of the following nutrients — vitamin A, beta-carotene, vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc, selenium, glutathione and cysteine, plus plant-based antioxidants such as anthocyanidins from a source such as bilberry or pycnogenol. The total supplementary intake (which may come in part from a multivitamin and extra vitamin C) to aim for is shown overleaf:

A (retinol/beta-carotene) 2500- 6600ugRE (7500-20,0001u)
Glutathione (reduced) 25- 75mg
E 66- 660mg (100-10001u)
C 1000- 3000mg
