  • Vitamin A protects cellular membranes, prevents glutathione depletion, maintains free-radical-detoxifying enzyme systems, and reduces inflammation.
  • Vitamin E protects cellular membranes and prevents glutathione depletion.
  • Vitamin C protects DNA, RNA, proteins, and lipids, and aids in regenerating vitamin E.
  • Carotenoids act as free-radical scavengers.
  • Lipoic acid acts as a free-radical scavenger and aids in regenerating vitamins C and E.
