Antioxidants & Detox

Your body deals with oxidative stress every day — a natural process that plays a role in how cells age. Antioxidants help keep it in balance, and a few are proven to: vitamin C and zinc both contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Our antioxidant supplements bring these together with vitamin- and mineral-rich options like sea moss, greens, seaweed and functional mushrooms — all 100% natural, vegan-friendly and lab-tested, backed by our 60-day money-back promise. Explore the range above to find the right fit for your routine.

What are antioxidants and oxidative stress?

Oxidative stress happens when unstable molecules called free radicals build up faster than your body can neutralise them. It's a normal part of living — and of ageing — but diet and lifestyle influence the balance. Antioxidants are the compounds that help keep free radicals in check. Some are essential nutrients such as vitamin C and zinc; others are plant compounds found in foods and supplements.

Do antioxidant supplements actually work?

It depends on the ingredient. Some nutrients carry authorised UK health claims — vitamin C and zinc both contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. For many other antioxidant compounds the evidence is less settled: health authorities including the NHS and the US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health note that high-dose antioxidant supplements haven't been shown to prevent disease, and that a varied diet is the best source. The honest position: use antioxidant supplements to support a balanced diet, not replace it.

What to look for in an antioxidant supplement

• Nutrients with real claims — vitamin C, zinc, vitamin E and selenium are the antioxidants with authorised wording behind them.
• Transparent doses — the actual amount on the label, not a "proprietary blend".
• Third-party lab testing — purity and heavy-metal screening.
• Sensible amounts — more isn't better with antioxidants (see the safety note below).
• Clean, vegan formulation you'll actually take every day.

The antioxidant ingredients in our range, explained

Vitamin C

One of the two antioxidants here with authorised claims: it contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and also to normal collagen formation for skin and normal immune function.

Zinc (in Zinc & Vitamin C)

Also authorised: zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to the normal function of the immune system — pairing two claim-backed antioxidants in one affordable formula.

Sea moss & seaweed blends

Mineral- and iodine-rich marine supplements (Irish sea moss; sea moss with bladderwrack & spirulina; seaweed with chlorella, spirulina & ashwagandha), popular in everyday routines for their nutrient content.

Greens, mushrooms & chlorophyll

Our Organic Supreme Greens & Mushroom blend, Chaga mushroom extract and liposomal chlorophyll are whole-food and plant options for a daily routine. Shilajit and NR with astaxanthin sit here as broader wellbeing options. None of these carries a specific antioxidant claim.

Compare the range at a glance

Being straight about which products can and can't carry an antioxidant claim is deliberate — it keeps us compliant and helps you choose honestly.

Can you get enough antioxidants from food?

For most people, yes — a varied diet rich in vegetables, fruit, nuts and wholegrains is the best antioxidant source, and it's what health authorities recommend first. Supplements are useful for topping up specific nutrients such as vitamin C or zinc where your diet falls short, or for convenience.

A note on "detox"

No supplement "detoxes" your body — your liver and kidneys handle that around the clock. Greens, sea moss and similar products are better thought of as nutrient-rich additions to a balanced diet, not a cleanse. We'd rather be straight with you than sell a myth.

What to be aware of — and when to speak to your GP

More isn't better with antioxidants: very high doses of some (such as beta-carotene or vitamin E) can carry risks, particularly for smokers. Stick to the label. Check with your GP or pharmacist first if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication, or managing a health condition.

Antioxidant supplements: FAQs

Do antioxidant supplements really work?

Some do more than others. Vitamin C and zinc have authorised UK claims for protecting cells from oxidative stress. For many other antioxidant compounds the evidence is less settled, and health authorities recommend getting antioxidants mainly from a varied diet. Use supplements to support good eating, not replace it.

What is the best antioxidant supplement?

There's no single "best". If you want antioxidants with proven claims behind them, vitamin C and zinc are the clearest choices — our Zinc & Vitamin C combines both affordably. For broader nutrient support, people add sea moss, greens or mushroom blends.

Which vitamins and minerals are antioxidants?

Vitamin C, vitamin E, and the minerals zinc and selenium are the nutrients with authorised "protection from oxidative stress" claims. They're found in food and available as supplements.

Can you take antioxidant supplements every day?

Yes, at the stated serving. Avoid mega-doses, and check with your GP or pharmacist if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication, or managing a health condition.

Can you get antioxidants from food instead of supplements?

For most people a varied diet of vegetables, fruit, nuts and wholegrains provides plenty of antioxidants — that's the recommended first source. Supplements help top up specific nutrients like vitamin C or zinc.

Are antioxidant supplements safe?

At sensible doses the common ones are well tolerated. Very high doses of certain antioxidants can carry risks (for example beta-carotene in smokers), so more isn't better — follow the label.

Is an antioxidant supplement the same as a detox?

No. No supplement detoxes your body — that's your liver and kidneys. Antioxidant and greens supplements are nutrient-rich additions to a healthy diet, not a cleanse.
