Diabetes
People with diabetes have many extra nutritional needs. The following antioxidants are very important:
Vitamin E - 800 IU .
Lipoic acid - 100 to 600 mg
Vitamin C - l,000 to 3,000 mg
Coenzyme Q10 - 100 to 300 mg

High Cholesterol and Heart Disease
High cholesterol levels by themselves are not the problem when it comes to heart disease. It is when cholesterol, especially LDL cholesterol, becomes oxidized that an inflammatory response by the immune system leads to plaque buildup in the arteries. These antioxidants are important to prevent this oxidation of cholesterol:
Vitamin E (mixed) - 400 to 800 IU
Tocotrienols - l00 to 400 mg
Vitamin C - 500 to 1,000 mg
Coenzyme Q10 - 100 mg
Grape seed extract or Pycnogenol - 50 to 100 mg
Green tea - l to 3 cups daily

Smokers
Smoking is a sure way to deplete the body’s antioxidants. Supplementing antioxidants can help reduce, but not eliminate, some of the damaging effects. When smokers take antioxidants, the first thing they usually notice is an increase in energy. This is most likely because the antioxidants are helping the body detoxify these poisonous chemicals, which frees up energy production of the cells.
Vitamin C - l,000 to 2,000 mg
Lipoic acid - 100 mg
Coenzyme Q10 - 100 mg
Vitamin A - l,500 to 5,000 IU
Selenium - 200 mcg
Mixed tocotrienols - 100 mg
Mixed carotenoid complex - 25,000 IU
Green tea - l to 3 cups daily
