Scientific evidence shows that some dietary supplements are beneficial for overall health and for managing some health conditions. For example, calcium and vitamin D are important for keeping bones strong and reducing bone loss; folic acid decreases the risk of certain birth defects; and omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils might help some people with heart disease. Other supplements need more study to determine their value.

Antioxidants are molecules that inhibit the oxidation of other molecules and protect the body from the effects of free radicals.
Free radicals, produced either through normal cellular metabolism, or as a result of pollution and exposure to other external factors, are responsible for premature aging of the body and play a role in cardiovascular or degenerative diseases (cataracts, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer).
The main antioxidants are vitamins A, C and E, selenium, zinc, coenzyme Q10, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx).
What role do antioxidants play in the body? In short, antioxidants impede the aging process of cells in the body, prevent the occurrence of serious diseases and help maintain a better health.
Due to their action against free radicals, antioxidants are also beauty allies, anti-aging products having various antioxidants on the list of ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin E, green tea, grape seed extract, coenzyme Q10, SOD.
Types of antioxidants
– Natural enzyme antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase and methionine reductase) are produced by the body and have the role of breaking down and eliminating free radicals.
– Non-ezymatic antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene) control the chain reactions of free radicals.
Which are the best antioxidants
– Glutathione is an enzyme that the body produces by itself and is the most powerful antioxidant in the body. It protects cells from oxidative stress, helps in detoxification and increases the performance of other antioxidants. As you get older, your body’s ability to produce this antioxidant decreases.
– Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a group of antioxidant enzymes produced by the body that neutralize free radicals. Some anti-aging cosmetics contain SOD.
– Alpha-lipoic acid is one of the most important antioxidants. It is involved in the production of energy at the cellular level, protects the cells from the action of free radicals, can be easily transported to the brain, but also has the ability to stimulate the production of other antioxidants in the body (glutathione, coenzyme Q10).
– Vitamin C prevents oxidation, stimulates collagen production, protects proteins and lipids in the body and stabilizes DNA. We find it in oranges, lemons, grapefruit, pineapple, kiwi, papaya, berries, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli.
– Vitamin E protects against the action of free radicals, accelerates cell regeneration and strengthens the immune system. Vegetable oils, whole grains, nuts, peanuts, eggs, spinach are all natural sources of vitamin E.
– Carotenoids – beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin – are powerful antioxidants, which especially help the eyes and skin. Foods rich in carotenoids are carrots, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, yellow and red peppers, spinach, broccoli, basil, mint, apricots, peaches and melons.
– Selenium is one of the main minerals, with antioxidant properties and an important role in the functioning of the brain. Selenium-rich foods include beef, chicken and pork, seafood and whole grain bread.
– Coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant that helps the immune system, nervous system and heart activity and reduces the signs of aging. As we get older, the body is increasingly catalyzing coenzyme Q10, but we can take it from supplements and foods such as fatty fish, chicken and beef, nuts and seeds.
