It is possible to prevent much of this damage by taking
supplements of nutrients (most of which are found in partypacks)
which provide protection against free radicals. Many of these
nutrients have been shown to extend the lifespans of
experimental animals. These anti-free-radical nutrients,
, include vitamins A, C, E, B1, B5, B6, the amino
acids cysteine, its acetylated derivative N-Acetylcysteine
(NAC), glutathione, phenolic and catecholic amino acids like
tyrosine and L-Dopa, catechols as found in bananas and potatoes,
phenolics found in grapes and other fruits, the minerals zinc
and selenium, bioflavonoids, and synthetic antioxidants such as
BHT and BHA.
