Antioxidant Supplements
This is one piece of the jigsaw that will make up your personal supplement programme.
Given the unquestionable value of increasing your antioxidant status, it is wise to make sure that your daily supplement programme contains significant quantities of antioxidants, especially if you are older, live in a polluted city or have any other unavoidable exposure to free radicals.
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 |
| Co-Q10 | 10- 50mg |
| Lipoid acid | 10- 50mg |
| Anthocyanidin source | 50- 250mg |
