What are antioxidants and what are the benefits of taking supplements containing them?

Antioxidants are special nutrients that protect us from harmful toxins called oxidants or free radicals, which damage cells, accelerate ageing and cause disease. These by-products of oxygen are like the ‘sparks’ that emanate from anything that’s burnt, including cigarettes, petrol and fried or barbecued food. Even the process we use to ‘burn’ food for energy inside our body cells end up making a bucketful of oxidants every year.

Antioxidants are like fireproof gloves, catching the sparks and protecting us. Each antioxidant becomes ‘hot’ and passes the oxidant to another until there is no more danger – so they work cooperatively. The key players are vitamin E (seeds, nuts and fish); vitamin C (fruits and vegetables); vitamin A and beta-carotene (orange or red foods); glutathione (onions and garlic); and anthocyanidins (berries and beetroot). You can top these up with an all-round antioxidant supplement that contains any of the above.

What antioxidants are found in Skin Antioxidant?

Skin Antioxidant features Selenium* and seven phyto (plant) nutrients including green tea, turmeric, bilberry fruit (often referred to as European blueberries), beta carotene, lutein (sourced from marigold flower petals), turmeric root, grapeseed extract and lycopene (found in tomatoes). * Selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Why is the capsule purple?

Skin Antioxidant ingredients are encased in capsule derived from purple carrot extract which give the purple coloured hue.
