Product introduction
Antoxid is a soft gelatin capsule that combines beta carotene with the trace minerals zinc, selenium, manganese and copper, all of which play a role in the body's natural antioxidant defences. It is formulated as a once-daily nutritional supplement rather than a treatment for any specific illness. The combination is intended to support the body's ability to manage everyday oxidative stress from factors such as pollution, poor diet or lifestyle. It is available over the counter and does not require a prescription.
Storage: Store in a cool place, protected from light and moisture

How to use Antoxid Capsule
Take one capsule daily, or as directed by your physician. It may be taken with a meal to help with tolerance. Do not exceed the recommended dose without medical advice.
How Antoxid Capsule works
Beta carotene is converted by the body as needed and acts as an antioxidant, helping to neutralise free radicals that can damage cells. Zinc, selenium, manganese and copper are cofactors for several of the body's own antioxidant enzymes, so together the ingredients support the body's natural defence against oxidative stress rather than acting through a single drug-like mechanism.
