Antioxidant-7 | CoQ10, ALA, NAC, Vitamin C, Methyl B12, Methyl Folate, Selenium | 2 Pack

Antioxidant-7 is a 10-ingredient antioxidant and active vitamin formula that delivers seven antioxidants (Vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic Acid, NAC, CoQ10, Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene, Selenium) and three active B vitamins (Methylcobalamin B12, L-5-MTHF Folate, Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate B6) in one 2-capsule daily dose. Health Canada licensed NPN 80080977 to provide provitamin A to help maintain eyesight, skin, membranes, and immune function; to be a source of antioxidant that decreases the adverse effects of free radicals on normal physiological functions; to help in collagen formation to maintain healthy bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums; and to help maintain immune function. Take 2 capsules once per day with a meal. Do not use if taking antibiotics or nitroglycerin.

Free radicals are unstable molecules produced by normal metabolism, pollution, UV radiation, and inflammation. They damage cell membranes, DNA, and proteins through oxidative stress. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by donating electrons, stopping the chain reaction of cellular damage. The most effective antioxidant strategies use multiple antioxidants that work in different cellular environments and recharge each other. Antioxidant-7 is designed around this network antioxidant principle, combining seven antioxidants that cover both water soluble and fat-soluble cellular environments and actively recharge each other.

The antioxidants in Antioxidant-7 form a self reinforcing network. Vitamin C helps recharge Vitamin E after it neutralizes a free radical. Alpha Lipoic Acid helps recharge Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and glutathione. NAC provides the cysteine building block the body needs to produce glutathione, its primary intracellular antioxidant. CoQ10 protects cell membranes alongside Vitamin E. Selenium supports glutathione peroxidase, the enzyme system that uses glutathione to neutralize hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxides. This network means the antioxidants keep working longer than any single antioxidant taken alone.

Antioxidants work in specific cellular environments based on their solubility. Water soluble antioxidants (Vitamin C, NAC, glutathione) work inside cells and in the bloodstream, protecting the aqueous interior of cells. Fat-soluble antioxidants (Vitamin E, CoQ10, Beta-Carotene) work in cell membranes, protecting the lipid bilayer from oxidative damage. Alpha Lipoic Acid is unique in that it works in both water and fat environments, making it one of the most versatile antioxidants available. Antioxidant-7 covers both environments in a single daily dose.

Do not use if you are taking antibiotics or nitroglycerin. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking blood pressure medication or blood thinner medication, or if you have diabetes or kidney stones. If you experience sweating, paleness, chills, headache, dizziness, or confusion, discontinue use and consult a healthcare practitioner as these may be symptoms of serious low blood sugar. Keep out of reach of children

Three of the ten ingredients in Antioxidant-7 are fat-soluble: Vitamin E, CoQ10, and Beta-Carotene. Fat-soluble nutrients require dietary fat for absorption in the small intestine. Taking Antioxidant-7 without food significantly reduces the absorption of these three ingredients. Even a small amount of dietary fat (a handful of nuts, a piece of avocado, or any meal containing fat) is sufficient to support absorption. Taking with a full meal is the simplest and most reliable approach.

Antioxidant-7 is commonly taken alongside other daily supplements. It does not contain iron, calcium, or magnesium in amounts that would interfere with absorption of other minerals. Do not use if taking antibiotics or nitroglycerin. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if taking blood pressure medication, blood thinners, or diabetes medication, as some ingredients (particularly Alpha Lipoic Acid and NAC) may affect blood sugar and blood pressure. If you are taking a multivitamin, check for overlap with Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and B vitamins to avoid exceeding upper tolerable intake levels.
