What is Antioxidant and what does it do?

What is the name of the antioxidant that the brain looses as it gets older?

  • There was a clinical trail being done to prevent the progression of Alzheimer's and they were using high levels of B 12 and fish oil plus an antioxidant but I do not know the university doing the trail. If you are not knowledgeable in medical knowledge of this please do not answer I do not want guesses. Thank you for those who Truly knows and answer.

  • Answer:

    Carotenoids, flavonoids, vitamins C and E, glutathione, N-acetyl-cysteine and selenium. I think the "one" antioxidant you are looking for is selenium as it is best known. P.S.- If you are submitting this as homework, make sure you spell the word as "losing" not "loosing".
