Natural Anti-oxidants
Natural vitamin E contains natural mixed tocopherols which are the main natural anti-oxidants of protection in your body. Vitamin E has been shown useful for cardiac, stroke, youthful vitality and numerous applications.
Vitamin C provides the 2nd main anti-oxidant system protection. Taking 1000mg to 3000mg per day is generally a good baseline use of vitamin C. Some people believe in taking higher doses of vitamin C daily.
Selenium is the main trace mineral necessary for anti-oxidant protection. I often boost selenium levels by giving it along with the other antioxidants. Selenium has been shown to be useful for anti-cancer therapies.
Zinc picolinate is the best form of zinc to take as it is the least bothersome to the stomach and most absorbable. Zinc is one of the most deficient minerals in the body and is the fourth requirement for natural anti-oxidant protection. Zinc is especially important for hair, skin and immune system function. I boost zinc for any infection, travel and pre-surgical preparation to lessen the likelihood of infection. Zinc is also very useful for preventing macular problems. I believe people should supplement these 4 nutrients once a year for preventative health. After essential nutrients, I believe these anti-oxidants are the next most important to put into your body today.
