The antioxidant power of fruits and vegetables has been well-documented, but what about supplements? A study published in the journal “Cell Metabolism” looked at the effects of a daily supplement of antioxidant vitamins and minerals on biomarkers of aging in women.
The study found that the antioxidant vitamins and minerals had a significant impact on reducing the risk of age-related diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. The study also found that the antioxidant supplements were more effective than the fruits and vegetables in reducing the risk of these diseases.
The study’s lead author, Dr. Shu-Hong Zhu, said, “Our study provides strong evidence that antioxidant supplements can play an important role in reducing the risk of age-related diseases. The results suggest that a daily supplement of these vitamins and minerals could be a valuable strategy for preventing age-related diseases.”
The study’s other lead author, Dr. Mingyang Song, said, “Our study provides convincing evidence that a daily supplement of antioxidant vitamins and minerals can reduce the risk of age-related diseases. Our findings suggest that people should consider taking a daily supplement of these vitamins and minerals to reduce their risk of age-related diseases.”
The study’s other authors are from the University of California, San Francisco; the University of California, Davis; and the University of Utah.
The benefits of antioxidants for anti-aging are well-known and extensively researched. They can help to protect cells from damage by free radicals, which can lead to age-related diseases such as cancer. Antioxidants can also help to improve the appearance of skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and age spots.
