What role do antioxidants play in the brain and nervous system?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
There is lack of objective evidence that antioxidants provide health benefits. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

There is concern that one of the problems with aging is the effect of free radicals, and the major protective scavenger is glutathione, in the central nervous system. However, this does not cross the brain-blood-barrier, and supplementing "anti-oxidants" invariably is a waste of time and money.
