6. Umm...
7. Lots of lovely tea
8. Soy sauce on my Chinky take-away

Vit C, the most poweful antioxidant available.

^ C is good
I've been trying out this stuff.
It keeps your skin from getting a sun burn. Seems to work. Though it also seems to prevent getting a deep dark tan as well.

Now if they could just create a product that turned thai ladies white they would make millions.

We used to use Blanco in the army! ^^

That's always a danger with these european products!

Anyway I recently spent a day riding around the hills in Ranong in a T-shirt without any sunscreen and didn't get a burn. I took an extra capsule.
I spend nearly an hour a day at the beach swimming and walking and I'm not really getting any color from it. Previously I would burn very easily.

Vit C + E are very powerful in combination.

Betelchew cleans the guts and strengthens the teeth -swallow, don't spit.

Better than the rubbish yanks eat, I am sure their food contains viri which destroy brain cells - just look at them!

Cranberries are being pushed as one of the best antioxidants?
I have long used www.mercola.com to buy vits etc - "I Think?" he has a good general range?
Cheers

Stroller,

True about the Vit C and E combo.

Also Vit A as a catalyst, but not too much of it.

Vit B13 ( or was it B3?), nicotinamide, is a very poweful protein/enzyme, increases metabolism and releases ATP, phosphate energy rapidly for use.

Fairly expensive, used in sports etc., but the B vits are a whole other category, deserving of separate treatment.

I used to take it when having to do excessive physical work 12 hours a day, amazing stuff. Not to be overused, only by body weight, or you'll skinny right down and disappear! Good for alzheimer's sufferers too, increased memory recall.

All up, a balanced combination of Vits A B C D and E, with mega C works best and B and C taken with any iron supplements.

I'll check up on that B3/13 vit to make sure.

add also cabbage!
good source antioxidants

another good source of antioxidants is one good glass of red wine.
good antioxidants for your heart and the venous circulation

has anybody here heard of jiaogulan? It is not a source of antioxidants but actually makes your body produce its own.

I agree, but I like Caesars with Worchester sauce and celery salt. I prefer cheroots. Garlic toast is good. Umm, well, I'd rather go for ice hockey, myself.
Blueberries are good anti-oxs, too, but then you get purple teeth and tongue, so I'd opt for the white wine.

Has any boardies mixed Mangosteen juice with Vodka?

My evening cocktail is straight gin on the rocks...

there is always a bowl of fruit to nibble on the table, now its mangosteen and longan... Both go quite well..

Its the old sweet sour thingy....

Chocolat and beer being another.

Mangosteen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Good stuff. If you want a supplement that is purely mangosteen rind let me know.

I never trust the outside of fruits here for potential chemicals.

I've heard that unripe papaya is the healthiest thing in the World, but only when my Wife is trying to forcefeed me Isaan Somtam.

Good, I have this almost every day, but I trained my supplier to make it the way I like!
