Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit oxidation, a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals and chain reactions that may damage the cells of organisms.

To balance oxidative stress, plants and animals maintain complex systems of overlapping antioxidants, such as glutathione. The only dietary antioxidants are vitamins A, C, and E. The term antioxidant is also used for industrial chemicals adde...

A vitamin (US /vatmn/ or UK /vtmn/) is an organic compound required by an organism as a vital nutrient in limited amounts.[1] An organic chemical compound (or related set of compounds) is called a vitamin when it cannot be synthesized in sufficient quantities by an organism, and must be obtained from the diet. Thus, the term is conditional both on the circumstances and on the particular organism. For example, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a vitamin for humans, but not for most other animals, a...

multiVitamin with sight aids ## please also let me know what will happen in the future if i do not continue to take this medication. I am 46. I have had a dexa scan and that was fine. So I am not sure why I am taking this. I am also b12 diff and potass diff. any info would be helpful ## If you doctor recommended it or prescribed it, then your best bet would be to talk to them to discuss why you are taking it. None of us here can know why you were started on it and none of us can guess why you might still need it.

I'm a 32 years old male. Can I take Bayberg Men's multivitamin antioxidant formula on a daily basis? Are there any side effects that can happen as a result of taking this formula? I heard some vitamins can damage your DNA or a high volume of zinc can cause cancer. ## A multivitamin/mineral supplement is only dangerous if someone takes too much by exceeding the recommended dosage amount. As long as you take it only as directed, and with your doctor's approval, then there shouldn't be anything to worry about. However, they do not alter your DNA, and while zinc is known to be elevated in some people with certain cancer precursors, it's not known to cause it. But taking too much may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, vomiting, and headaches....

PLEASE SUGGEST SOME ONE THAT REVOZYME FORTE CAN BE TAKEN AS ANTIOXIDANT ## Revozyme Forte Contains: Trypsin (96 mg) + Bromelain (180 mg) + Rutoside Trihydrate (200 mg) in each enteric coated tablet The answer to your question is no. I wouldn't call this an antioxidant supplement at all. It is just a digestive enzyme supplement based on the ingredients. To be honest you would get more (antioxidant and enzymatic) benefits from eating a couple pieces of fruit each day rather than taking this. Not to say that this isn't a decent product. But for what it does, there are certainly better options out there than this. A couple of these extracted ingredients come from whole fruit. I would recommend eating whole papaya and pineapple to reap the benefits of the these specific enzymes and t...

Can a pregnant women take AZ Antioxidants multivitamin multimineral tables also cane a pregnant women take Raricap Haematinic tablets and for how long ## Help, Nisha! How are you? Congratulations on your pregnancy. The standard answer that I must give to any pregnant woman is to always, always check with your doctor, before taking anything. It doesn't matter if it's an over the counter product or prescription, always check with your OB Gyn. There can be many factors that play a role in whether or not it safe for you to take something while pregnant and it would be remiss of me or anyone else to try to guess and tell you that you can take something. Are there any other questions or concerns?

Since uric acid is considered an antioxidant that lowers the occurrence of free radicals one could assume that uric acid decreasing substances like Allopurinol should increase cancer incidence? Has anyone done any studies? Are there any databases to look for any correlation? If Allopurinol does not give cancer then the only argument against keeping the current level of uric acid in blood is invalidated.
