If i eat a lot of antioxidants can it reduce the effectiveness of the birth control pill?

No: Actually, the reverse is true. Birth control pill users have been shown to have reduced levels of coenzyme q10 and vitamin e, both antioxidants that are important for overall health and protection from oxidative stress.
