Everyone in the vitamins and minerals world is using the popular term "antioxidants" in just about everything we eat. So what are they are? What do antioxidants do?
Antioxidants are naturally occurring substances such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotenes that protect the body from the effects of oxidation. They neutralize the free radicals in the body. Free radicals are associated with age, age related disorders and cancer. Our bodies do produce some antioxidants on their own, though it may not be enough to combat the other sources such as environmental stress, medications or illness.
Antioxidants are in some natural products like cayenne or chili pepper, ginger, garlic, turmeric, ginkgo and bilberry. Organic versions of these products are the better selection to make.
Antioxidant supplements can be a good source of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene and selenium. There are certain people who shouldn't take synthetic beta carotene: people with a family history of disease, are stressed, smoke or live in a polluted environment.
Always purchase your vitamins and minerals and any supplement products from a reputable manufacturer. Make sure the products contain a large percentage of the ingredient and that they are made in the U.S.
