All antioxidants don't have same function. Beta Carotene is good protection from free radicals caused by intense exercise, while Vitamin E and selenium are better equipped to handle those caused by exposure to toxic chemicals. Also, antioxidants protect each other. Beta Carotene protects Vitamin C, which in turn protects Vitamin E. With enough protection, antioxidants are free to travel through body, guarding against free radical attacks.
Even though antioxidants are available from our diet, we cannot be assured that there are adequate amounts in food today. Between depleted state of soil used to grow our food, and processing that are food is subject to, nutritional value that is left is not enough. Not only is nutrition available decreased, but food is also exposed to chemical fertilizers and additives that have potential to cause even more free radical production.
Some of benefits as a result of use of antioxidant supplements are increased protection from many forms of cancer, stronger defense against cardiovascular disease, and a more powerful immune system.
I would think, in view of all this, that supplementing with a good, broad spectrum antioxidant would be a healthy choice for anyone.
