unfortunately taking \"antioxidants\" has never shown to create any meaningful clinical outcomes.

this is probably because the antioxidant must be oxidized in order to donate a hydrogen ion to an existing molecule in the body that has been radicalized.

the antioxidant swaps with the radical and unless there is excess hydrogen, then the antioxidant remains oxidized until excretion.
