> I'm immediately thinking of alphalipoic acid, and the polyphenolic antioxidants seen in e.g. pine bark or grape seed or berries. It would be lovely if someone ever put out a Venn diagram of the overlap between substrate activity of the different antioxidant systems. It would make this whole topic so very much easier to understand and to find appropriate interventions. I would need to look around a bit before I could come up with ideas not based on my intellectual intuition.
I do take a lipoic acid and thiamine combination - i feel awful if I take them individually - wonder whether it's due to a balance in the pyruvate dehyrogenase complex? Sometimes take 'proanthanol' from allergy research, but doing really well on jarrow's pomegranate concentrate at the moment - adore organic raspberries too!

You want an omega-3 fatty acid there, as much as is possible, to prevent inflammatory induction via cyclization of arachinodate to PGE-2.Interleukin 1 stimulates PLA2 unfortunately! Grrr! Take phospatidyl choline every now and then as well as omega 3s - and I think all the methyl factors I take probably assist phospholipid synthesis.

The get the most relief from the methyl factors though - as long as I avoid molybdenum - don't think activation of oxidase enzymes agrees with me!
