What are anti-oxidants and should I take them???

Someone told me to add anti-oxidants to my list of supplements. I was wondering what they were and if anyone knew a good brand or good place to get them????

i would start with a basic multivitamin/multimineral supplement that you can buy at any drug store. there are lots of different antioxidants out there, but some are not worth the cost, and not really neccessary. places like vitamins.com can be helpful with this.

One of the best antioxidant available is alpha lipoic acid. It has been proven to help rid the body of toxic heavy metals which contribute to many diseases. One of the other reasons you want to take an antioxidant is for the reason that you need to keep your body clear of free radicals---these are substances that cause DNA damage to the cells of your body. Antioxidants bind to free radicals and help remove them from the body. It's your best protection against cancer as well as other diseases. Vitamin C is also great as a free radical scavenger and it also helps muscles repair faster. Alpha lipoic acid also protects you by lowering your blood sugar by mimicking insulin. So you'd want to take it with meals.
Be safe and take antioxidants!

The back doc is right one of the best anti oxs is cla which is a form of lipoic acid. Another one you might want to try is milk thistle. This is a very powerful herb, that not only fights free radicals but it mainly targets the liver. It has been widely used for people who are on long term pharmacutical products. Cancer patients etc. It helps to clean your liver out. So if you are using alot of supplements I suggest you look into this product. Any GNC store or health store will have it. Just make sure that the main ingredient, which is SILYMARIN is around 160mg. Take three capsules a day.
