Review the following information,
facts and truths regarding antioxidants:
- Antioxidants offer advantages to
different areas and parts of cells
- The range of antioxidants offer divergent
forms of protection
- Fat-soluble vitamin E is an example
of how different antioxidants come in various
- Tocopherol is the most commonly used
vitamin E, an antioxidant
- Vitamin C is an antioxidant that
work to protect the watery interior of cells,
- Not all individuals respond or react
to all antioxidants in the same way
- Coenzyme Q10 is another antioxidant
that has been determined to help heart cells
- Combining a number of antioxidants
with each other will offer the heart enough protection with
the differing properties.
- According to researchers, taking
a one antioxidant and excluding others may be quite detrimental
to one’s health because once an exclusive antioxidant neutralizes
a free radical; it may be transform into a weakened free radical,
itself. For example, the findings were found in smokers who
took excessive doses of beta-carotene where the risk of lung
cancer was heightened. If new supplies of vitamins C and E had
been available, they nutrients may have recycled the beta-carotene
and prevented the onslaught of free radicals from morphing into
cancer-causing cells.
- Adults may reap the benefits of taking
supplements by using four of the five primary antioxidants:
vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10, and alpha-lipoic acid and glutathione;
however, glutathione is the exception to the rule because the
body produces it from protein-opulent foods. Not to mention,
it is not well absorbed in supplement form.
- Additionally, selenium is another
antioxidant that is recommended.
- Note that the confluence of antioxidants
is needed in individuals who are 40 to 50 years of age -- when
the body's biological production of these elements starts to
diminish. |
