Most of the natural antioxidants are derived from plant materials, such as fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices [62,63,64]. These are particularly rich in phenolic compounds, vitamins and carotenoids [16,65,66].

Where do most antioxidants come from?

Plant foods are rich sources of antioxidants. They are most abundant in fruits and vegetables, as well as other foods including nuts, wholegrains and some meats, poultry and fish. Good sources of specific antioxidants include: allium sulphur compounds – leeks, onions and garlic.

Where are antioxidants produced in the body?

Your body generates its own antioxidants, such as the cellular antioxidant glutathione. Plants and animals, as well as all other forms of life, have their own defenses against free radicals and oxidative damage. Therefore, antioxidants are found in all whole foods of plant and animal origin.
