Antioxidants are substances that prevent, slow or inhibits  the destructive effects of oxidation in the body or in foodstuffs and can guard the body from the damaging effects of free radicals.

 Oxidation leads to the production of free radicals which can damage cells and might accelerate the progression of cancer, heart disease, eye problems and neurological diseases.

Some antioxidants are formed naturally in the body but with aging their levels decline: glutathione, lipoic acid, melatonin and CoQ10. Vitamins C and E are also antioxidants but are not produced by the body and must be obtained from food. 

So general talking the antioxidants list include alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, flavonoids, enzymes, coenzyme Q10, glutathione, melatonin, methionine, vitamin A and carotenoids.
