How Antioxidants Affect Your Health

The main antioxidant nutrients are Vitamins A, C and E and selenium. Antioxidants have been shown to have a protective effect against cardiovascular disease and some cancers.

Taming the free radicals

As you go about your daily life, your body produces free radicals from the oxygen in your bloodstream, and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol causes a build up of fat in the arteries (this process is called atherosclerosis). Antioxidants deactivate these free radicals and thus help protect against heart disease as well as some cancers.

beta-carotene on its own has been shown to increase the likelihood of death by lung cancer in smokers.However, the most recent research shows that taking beta-carotene in combination with the other antioxidants is helpful, reducing lung cancer risk by 16% (Wright ME, Mayne ST, et al. Am J Epidemiol 2004 Jul 1;160(1):68-76.)>

Fighting the Big C

Studies have shown that diets high in antioxidants (eg. the Mediterranean diet with its high proportion of fruit and vegetables) have a protective effect against many forms of cancer, as well as heart disease. However, in spite of extensive studies, there is some dispute whether antioxidant supplements have the same results.

It’s possible that to work effectively, antioxidants require other co-factors, present naturally in the foods that contain them, and that this is why antioxidant-rich diets may work better in some cases than supplements. In any event, it seems that the standard advice about eating a balanced diet that contains a high proportion of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and nuts holds true here as well.

Rare exception

The one exception (about which there is little dispute concerning supplementation) is Selenium, an essential trace mineral which is an important part of the antioxidant enzymes that protect cells from the harmful effects of free radicals. Several studies show that people with low intake levels of selenium have an increased risk of heart complaints and cancer.

Unfortunately, Selenium is quite difficult to get from most food, certainly in the UK, as this is mostly produced in areas with very low soil concentrations. You can obtain useful quantities from fish, shellfish and some brazil nuts, but if you don’t eat these foods very often, a supplement may be a good idea, especially if you are in one of the groups at risk.

Vitamin B – The Complex Vitamin

Strictly speaking, vitamin B isn’t a vitamin at all. It’s a complex (or group) of vitamins.

Vitamin B complex is a mixture of various B vitamins that tend to occur together in food. It consists of 8 distinct vitamins: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), nicotinic acid (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folic acid (B9) and cobalamin (B12), all of which are true vitamins. Some compounds on sale include choline (Bp) and inositol (B8), but because these can be synthesized by a healthy undamaged body, they are not regarded as true vitamins.



PABA (B10), pangamic acid (B15), orotic acid (B13), laetrile (B17) and possibly adenine (formerly called vitamin B4) are also found alongside the rest of the B complex vitamins in food, but are no longer regarded as true vitamins.

Other nutrients have been given a vitamin B label in the past, including DMG (B16); many other “B-vitamins” appear to be arbitrarily assigned, possibly for marketing purposes, as the same label is applied to different substances in different places, and vice versa.

The best sources of B vitamins are whole unprocessed foods, as processing usually removes much of the content of B vitamins. For meat eaters, liver, meat and fish are good sources. Vegetarian sources include brewer’s yeast, yeast extract, wheatgerm, wheat bran, whole grains, peas, beans, lentils, bananas and kombucha. Beer itself is not a good source, because alcohol inhibits absorption of most B vitamins and if taken to excess can lead to deficiencies.

There is no vegan source of vitamin B12 which can be used by the human body, including supplements.
