The Best Antioxidant Supplements
Eat your 5-a-day of fresh fruit and vegetables to lay the foundations of antioxidant defence.
Certain herbal supplements give a powerful boost to a diet that's already rich in antioxidant foods.
The right vitamins and minerals further boost the body's own biochemical defences.
NAC (N Acetyl Cysteine)
N-acetyl cysteine is a vital and powerful antioxidant supplement that directly boosts glutathione, the human body's "master antioxidant". NAC feeds into our natural antioxidant enzyme system to create this powerful molecule which scavenges illness-causing free radicals throughout the body.
Quercetin Capsules
Quercetin is a type of plant pigment called flavonoids, known for their antioxidant properties as they help neutralise harmful free radicals (oxygen molecules) in the body. It's also been studied for its anti-inflammatory effects and potential benefits for heart health, immune function, and overall well-being.
Zinc Gluconate Tablets - 25mg
One of the stars of the antioxidant supplements, Zinc is an essential mineral that supports immune function and helps protect cells from oxidative damage. It's involved in the production of antioxidant enzymes that neutralise the free radicals which cause oxidative stress.
Magnesium Complex 6-in-1
Magnesium plays a vital role in numerous biochemical reactions in the body which are part of our antioxidant defence mechanisms. It helps regulate cellular function and protect against oxidative damage. This very well-absorbed Magnesium Complex is boosted with partner antioxidants Zinc, Vitamin D3 and B6.
Super B Vitamin Complex
Oxidative stress is inevitable without the vital B vitamins. Folate (B9), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3) and Vitamin B6 are essential to support antioxidant enzyme function and protect us against oxidative stress.

Curcumin, the active compound in Turmeric, is a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. It's widely used to relieve joint pain and support brain function.
Organic KSM-66 Ashwagandha 550mg with Black Pepper
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that contains flavonoids, phenolic acids and other natural antioxidants. It's very popular to help deal with periods of stress of long-term anxiety, help restore a healthy sleep cycle and boost energy.
Garlic Capsules - High Strength 30,000mg - 180 Odourless Softgels
The organic compound allicin – which gives garlic its great flavour – is a powerful antioxidant. For people who want to avoid garlic breath, our odourless gels make a healthy and powerful source of daily antioxidants. Garlic is also immune-boosting and helps kill bacteria and other microbes.
Magnesium Glycinate - 1500mg High Strength Providing 300mg Elementa...
Magnesium plays a vital role in numerous biochemical reactions in the body which are part of our antioxidant defence mechanisms. It helps regulate cellular function and protect against oxidative damage. Magnesium Glycinate is popular with people who also want support with anxiety and stress.
Organic Lion's Mane Capsules With Ginkgo Biloba and Black Pepper
Lion's mane mushroom contains powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that may help reduce the impact of chronic illness. Ginkgo biloba also contains flavonoids and terpenoids that act as antioxidants. By defending against oxidative stress and improving circulation, they feed the brain cells with oxygen and reduce inflammation to maximise mental performance, memory and concentration.
Vitamin K2 MK-7, 100mcg, 120 Capsules
Vitamin K is an antioxidant nutrient. It's one of the vitamins our bodies need for the biochemical reactions that trap free radicals - thus stopping oxidative damage.
Gentle Iron Bisglycinate - 28mg
While iron is primarily known for its role in oxygen transport and energy production, it also has antioxidant properties. However, excessive iron levels can contribute to oxidative stress, so balance is key. Our supplement contains the recommended safe daily amount of 14 mg per capsule.
Magnesium Citrate 1480mg Providing 444mg Elemental Magnesium per Se...
Magnesium plays a vital role in numerous biochemical reactions in the body which are part of our antioxidant defence mechanisms. It helps regulate cellular function and protect against oxidative damage. Magnesium Citrate is popular with people who also want support keeping their bowels regular.
Vitamin D3 4000 IU Cholecalciferol 425 Softgels (14 month supply)
Best known for supporting calcium absorption and bones, vitamin D also has antioxidant properties. It helps regulate immune function and protect against oxidative stress.
Energy Boost Nutrition Combo
Ashwagandha is a natural plant-based antioxidant, rich in compounds that neutralise free radicals. The B vitamins also support our natural production of antioxidants through biochemical processes in the body.
Incorporating these antioxidant-rich herbs and supplements into your diet can help support overall health, protect against oxidative stress, and promote vitality.
As always, it's important to consult your doctor before starting new supplements, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking prescription medicines.
How to Boost Glutathione with Food
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant naturally produced by the body, and it's also found in some foods, particularly certain vegetables.
Cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower are among the top sources of glutathione. Other vegetables like spinach, asparagus, and avocados also contain significant amounts of glutathione, as well as onions, garlic and leeks.
These vegetables are not only rich in glutathione but also contain compounds that support the body's own production of this antioxidant.
Cooking can affect glutathione levels in food. Steaming is the best way to preserve the antioxidant content of these vegetables.

Why is oxidative stress so dangerous?
Oxidative stress is associated with a range of medical problems and chronic conditions due to the damage caused by free radicals to cells, proteins, and DNA.
Aging: Oxidative stress leads to progressive decline of cellular function and tissue integrity.
Cardiovascular Diseases: Oxidative stress can contribute to the development and progression of heart diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, and heart failure.
Neurodegenerative Diseases: Conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis have been linked to oxidative damage in the brain.
Diabetes: Oxidative stress can impair insulin signalling and contribute to insulin resistance, a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes.
Inflammatory Conditions: Chronic inflammation, such as in rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease, become worse when the body is under oxidative stress.
Cancer: High levels of oxidative stress can damage DNA and increase the risk of mutations that may lead to cancer development.
Lung Diseases: Conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung fibrosis can be aggravated by oxidative stress-induced inflammation.
Liver Diseases: Oxidative stress can contribute to liver damage and the development of liver diseases like fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and cirrhosis.
Eye Diseases: Oxidative stress is a factor in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, and other vision-related disorders. Cataracts are found in eyes with very low levels of glutathione, the "master antioxidant".
Skin Aging and Disorders: Oxidative stress plays a role in skin aging, wrinkles, and the development of skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
