Antioxidants are often used as a marketing buzzword. Is there any science behind antioxidants and should you take antioxidant supplements?



What are Antioxidants?

There are hundreds, probably thousands, of different substances that can act as antioxidants. The most familiar ones are vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and other related carotenoids, along with the minerals selenium, manganese. They’re joined by glutathione, coenzyme Q10, lipoic acid, flavonoids, phenols, polyphenols, phytoestrogens, molecular hydrogen and many more.

While many people are worried about the latest Coronavirus or COVID-19, there are several things you can do (and not do) to improve your immune system.

Before you decide, it's better that you do some reading and have some understanding what a mole is and the types of moles, so that you have better clarity in understanding the procedures involved.
