Absolutely! The problem is that the most vital antioxidants are Vitamins C, A & E -which- disappear quickly from veggies and fruits within a half hour of them being picked. The reason we rely on supplements, if because of the state of our food supply. We regularly fly and truck foods from other states and countries, when they are under ripe, only to have them ripen en route to their destination. Any farmer can tell you this vastly under rates the effectiveness of the enzymes, vitamins and nutrition in the food you are eating. Until we make some radical changes in the way that we grow, deliver and eat our foods…we will have to rely on supplements to provide antioxidants. But, it is not in our best interest to do so. Our bodies then become accustomed to being provided the building blocks of life, instead of creating them themselves. Plus, there is the whole question of the purity of those ingredients as well.
So, for these reasons, we have to go back to doing what our Mom’s told us all along (with one caveat*): eat your fresh (organic*) fruits & veggies!
