If there are insufficient quantities of antioxidants to match its exposure to free radicals then the body is said to be in a state of oxidative stress. In this state, unimpeded free radicals cause damage that can lead to inflammation, immune dysfunction, DNA damage and, potentially, a whole range of degenerative diseases. Although most of us are not in a continuous state of oxidative stress, we generally experience this unhealthy condition on a regular basis as it can be precipitated by a wide range of factors.

These include psychological stress, infections, drugs, smoking, pollution, radiation, excessive exercise and obesity. Therefore we can all benefit from a regular intake of an array of antioxidants that can "mop up" excess free radicals as they are introduced into, and produced by, our bodies. Moreover, as many antioxidants are inactivated during the process of free radical neutralization, they need to be continually replenished. Our bodies do some of the work by producing their own antioxidants, but we need to supplement these with food-based compounds.

Many health products almost claim to be panaceas as they contain large quantities of, what is claimed to be, a "strong antioxidant". Often, this antioxidant is said to be "more powerful" or "stronger" than other antioxidants. The implication is, of course, that the product is all we need to provide ourselves with antioxidant protection. This is an incorrect and potentially damaging perception. Measured against laboratory standards, one antioxidant may indeed prove more effective -- or powerful -- than another, but this is only true under certain conditions.

No one antioxidant neutralizes all free-radical species no matter how potent that compound is. That is the most important reason why we should not rely only on one or two of them to deal with the multitude of free radicals that we are exposed to. Some antioxidants need the protection and synergistic relationships that can only be provided by other antioxidants. Rather than taking an isolated extract of any one antioxidant, however "powerful", we should be ingesting a wide range of these vital compounds.

Beyond a certain threshold, any beneficial substance can become harmful. Antioxidants are no exception, and yet they are often consumed in dangerously high quantities.Vitamin C, for example, is an essential vitamin and valuable antioxidant. Taken in large does, however, it has been found to damage DNA thereby increasing susceptibility to cancer. Even the antioxidants produced by our bodies can be damaging when present in excessive quantities.
