Recent research on antioxidants has focused on “how antioxidant vitamins may reduce cardiovascular disease risk”. With up to 30 percent of Americans taking some form of antioxidant supplement,this may naturally spark concern.
However, such studies need to be put into perspective. The real power of antioxidants is NOT as a “vitamin” as categorized in the studies, nor as a method to reduce cardiovascular disease. Antioxidants cover a range of compounds that help the body manage cell toxins to a healthy level, where cell processes are not compromised, and DNA not mutated.
It would be easy to fall into the trap of believing that all ‘super-supplement’ claims are everything to every condition. Instead, I recommend you focus on the primary benefit of each type of nutritional supplement, antioxidant or metabolizer. Most items that fall in these groups have benefits in several areas of health, but depending upon your bodies personal needs, and your lifestyle, you are better to adopt only those you feel benefit your personal, individual needs, and not get caught into the hype of searching for the one single super health supplement.
For me, I wouldn’t even consider not taking antioxidants. But that’s my own personal choice. Make yours.
