Super antioxidant [vitamins & minerals]

Super antioxidant contains vitamin A, which is essential for human health. It matters a great deal for vision, cell development and immunity, and its role in immunity contributes to its anti-cancer properties. Vitamin C is one of the most widely taken supplements. It plays a primary role in forming collagen, and collagen is important for the growth and repair of cells, gums, blood vessels, bones and teeth. So vitamin C helps with faster recovery after surgery or any other trauma. It also quenches free radicals in the water based parts of the cell, which is how it acts as an antioxidant.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and the body stores it in the liver, adipose tissues, heart, muscles and so on. It's an active antioxidant that prevents oxidation of fat compounds, and it works in synergy with selenium. Vitamin K is a key anti-aging vitamin, and it prevents heart disease and osteoporosis.

Zinc is an important mineral. It can rejuvenate the shrinking thymus gland, which is involved in the working of the immune system. Zinc is also a co-factor in over 100 enzymes of the body. Selenium is a co-factor in antioxidant enzymes, but apart from that it has potent antioxidant capabilities by itself. So it prevents aging and hardening of tissues through oxidation. Vitamin E and selenium are synergistic and seem to potentiate each other's antioxidant activities.

Copper is an important co-factor of a number of enzymes in our body, and these enzymes act as endogenous antioxidant systems. Manganese is an antioxidant too. It is one of the minerals required to form SOD (Super Oxide Dismutase), an enzyme that protects against cell damaging free radicals.
