There are also dietary supplements with antioxidants. Astaxanthin and resveratrol are good sources of antioxidants. Ekoplanet offers natural and organic products that are rich in antioxidants and other bioactive substances. Welcome.

What are antioxidants and free radicals?

Antioxidants are a group of chemical compounds. Their task is to protect the body's cells against free radicals, so-called oxidative stress. These free radicals are unstable molecules that are formed naturally in our bodies and it is precisely when the balance between the amount of free radicals produced and their neutralization by antioxidants is disturbed, that our immune system is weakened and the risk of various types of diseases increases. What contributes to more free radicals in the body? There are several causes including: stress, age, UV radiation and poor diet.

Antioxidants in foods

We find antioxidants in vegetables and fruits, especially in berries. Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, as well as beetroot, chicory and kale will give us a large dose of antioxidants. But antioxidants also occur in herbs and spices, and those that have the strongest effect on free radicals include: cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, basil, oregano or ground cloves.

Unfortunately, heat treatment can help reduce the valuable antioxidants. Tomatoes may be an exception, as the lycopene found in tomatoes is more active in purees or juice than in raw tomatoes.

List of antioxidants

Here are 10 examples of common antioxidants

Vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols)

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

Flavonoids

Zinc

Beta-carotene

Selenium

Glutathione

Resveratrol

Lycopene

Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone)

Antioxidants in dietary supplements

There are many dietary supplements that contain antioxidants including: resveratrol and antaxanthin. Vitamins C, A, E, selenium and zinc are also strong antioxidants.

Remember that nutritional supplements are usually a supplement to the balanced and varied diet. Recovery and sleep are also important for your health. There is also a risk of antioxidant supplements interacting with various medications. Therefore, you should first consult your doctor about possible supplements if you are being treated for any disease.
