Nutritional Philosophy – Antioxidant Info

The Power of Antioxidants
Antioxidants are like little soldiers armed to fight free radicals. Antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E work together to disarm free radicals and may help reduce the damage they can cause to healthy cells.
Antioxidant Vitamin A
Your body converts beta carotene to vitamin A, which is a potent carotenoid antioxidant that helps support eye and skin health and may help protect your body from the damage caused by free radicals.
Natural sources of Vitamin A
- Goji berries, liver, carrots, sweet potatoes, red pepper, spinach, kale, mangos, papaya, cantaloupe and apricots.
Antioxidant Vitamin C
This antioxidant vitamin helps support the immune system as well as healthy gums and skin. Vitamin C is a powerful ally when it comes to fighting free radicals.
Natural Sources of Vitamin C:
- Sea Buckthorn, oranges, goji berries, kiwi, broccoli, peppers (red, yellow & green), tomatoes, potatoes, mango and papaya
Antioxidant Vitamin E
Vitamin E helps stack the deck in your favor when it comes to fighting oxidative stress. Vitamin E helps support healthy skin and heart health.
Natural Sources of Vitamin E:
- Eggs, almonds, sunflower seeds, spinach, olives, blueberries, boiled Swiss chard, collard greens, mustard greens and cooked turnips
Polyphenols
Polyphenols are plant-based antioxidants that also help fight free radicals, which is why 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables are recommended to support healthy cell recovery
