Yes: Anti oxidants help support the immune system. People who have high levels of inflammation, endurance athletes, and have chronic illness need more antioxidants. People trying to prevent health problems should do a replenishment phase of 6 months and then maintenance of 4x/week (unless they get sick then back to daily use).
