Many people consider taking antioxidant supplements, with claim that they are safe, since taking nutrients in supplement forms is also safe. However, this claim is not true, as antioxidant supplements can actually cause harm. This article explains how this can happen.

For starters, the antioxidants that are present in foods, and help to seize power from free radicals include, selenium, vitamins A, C, and E. (According To Healthline, On The 13th Of November, 2018, “The main antioxidants that help regulate free radicals in your body are the vitamins A, C, and E, and the mineral selenium.”) It is also important to note that manufacturers of antioxidant supplements adopt the aforementioned vitamins and mineral during production, but only in concentrated forms. This means that these vitamins and mineral are not diluted.

What this also means, is that the amounts of these vitamins and mineral in antioxidant supplements, are very high, even more than what you can get from foods. Antioxidant supplements will provide 70 to 1,660 percent of the Daily Value (DV) of selenium, vitamins A, C, and E. This is relatively high. (According To Healthline, On The 13th Of November, 2018, “Antioxidant supplements contain concentrated forms of antioxidants. Antioxidant supplements contain 70–1,660 percent of the daily value (DV) of these key nutrients.”)

Now, this is where antioxidant supplements begin to pose threats to your health. Antioxidant supplements, that should help to eliminate free radicals, may provide a better environment for them to cause harm to your cells. Studies show that taking antioxidant supplements may increase your risk of cancer, and decrease the health benefits that are linked with exercise. Antioxidant supplements can also cause birth defects, and so many other health challenges. So, it is safer to get your antioxidants directly from foods.
