Antioxidant supplementation, including vitamins and trace elements, benefits general and critically ill populations by reducing oxidative damage. Further research is needed to optimize dosages and combinations for therapeutic use.

Area of Science:

  • Nutritional Science
  • Biochemistry
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Nutrition significantly impacts population and patient health.
  • Beneficial effects are linked to reduced oxidative damage from free radicals.
  • This review focuses on evidence for successful antioxidant supplementation strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review literature on antioxidant supplementation trials.
  • To assess efficacy in the general population and critically ill patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of antioxidant supplementation trials.
  • Critical analysis of studies in general and critically ill populations.

Main Results:

  • Antioxidant vitamins and trace elements are crucial for preventing cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and age-related eye conditions.

  • Animal models show reduced tissue damage in ischemia-reperfusion injuries with targeted interventions.
  • In critically ill patients, antioxidant supplements decreased organ failure and infectious complications.

    • Conclusions:

    • Antioxidant micronutrients offer benefits in specific conditions for the general population and critically ill patients.
    • Ongoing research supports antioxidant therapy.
    • Optimal micronutrient combinations and dosages require further investigation.
