What antioxidants do in the body
Everyday life — from pollution to intense exercise — produces unstable molecules called free radicals, and antioxidants help keep them in balance. Under EU-authorised health claims, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, zinc, copper, manganese and riboflavin all contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Plant compounds such as those in turmeric, resveratrol and CoQ10 are popular antioxidant choices that people add alongside these vitamins and minerals. A colourful, plant-rich diet remains the best foundation.

Frequently asked questions
Which vitamins and minerals are antioxidants?
Vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, zinc, copper, manganese and riboflavin all carry EU-authorised claims for contributing to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. They are found in a varied, plant-rich diet, with supplements helping where intake is low.
What is oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress is an imbalance between free radicals — unstable molecules produced naturally and by factors such as pollution, sun and intense exercise — and the antioxidants that keep them in check. Antioxidant nutrients help maintain that balance and protect cells.
Are CoQ10 and resveratrol the same as vitamin antioxidants?
Not quite. CoQ10 and resveratrol are antioxidant compounds the body and plants produce, while vitamins C and E and minerals like zinc and selenium are nutrients with specific authorised claims. Many people combine both types as part of a varied routine.
Can I take several antioxidants together?
Yes, many people combine, for example, vitamin C with zinc or CoQ10. Follow the dose on each label and avoid exceeding recommended amounts. If you take medication or have a health condition, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Do antioxidants help with ageing?
Antioxidant vitamins and minerals help protect cells from oxidative stress, a process linked to ageing. They are not an anti-ageing cure, but as part of a healthy lifestyle they support overall cellular resilience.
Are these products suitable for vegans?
Many are, including vitamin C, plant polyphenols and several mineral formulas, while some softgels are not. Always check the label on each product page.
