Health - Antioxidants

The cellular rust-proofing aisle

Antioxidants earned their shelf by a simple idea — supporting the body's defences against everyday oxidative wear — and this collection holds the serious names: CoQ10 for cellular energy, glutathione and its NAC feedstock, astaxanthin, resveratrol, grape seed and the classic vitamins C and E.

Framing it honestly

The antioxidant story got oversold in the 90s, so here's the counter version: these compounds contribute to normal antioxidant defences; they don't reverse ageing, and a rainbow plate of vegetables remains the best antioxidant delivery system ever invented. Supplements make sense for targeted jobs — CoQ10 past forty or alongside statins (doctor in the loop), astaxanthin for the outdoors crowd. Fat-soluble ones travel best with meals.
