Are antioxidants memes?

antioxidants are literally molecules that bind to free radicals in the body, particularly useful to combat oxidative stress during immunoresponse

unless you're having a ton of inflammation and have a poor diet, there is literally no reason to supplement them unless you wanna burn money

>"literally no reason"

I just told you they treat my depression (better than anything has before). I had a qt gf who sucked me off at will and exercised daily and still had depression.

After researching on pubmed I found evidence of antioxidants being legit so I'm asking if /fit/ has any experience with them.

I'm thinking about making a website with my recipes because i've never seen them anywhere and I feel amazing most days, even though I'm a NEET now and have no future

Antioxidant supplements are memes that do nothing. Eating fruits and vegetables is not a meme and has positive benefits.

>>38103824
they did not treat your depression

lol ok dude

I forgot to mention but my diet was pretty healthy before i lifted/had a gf. Ate fruits, veggies, chicken, avocado, beans

>>38103879
Placebo?

>>38103915

If eating antioxidants from natural sources (not supplements, idk where you guys are reading anything about that) is placebo then fuck, it's a fucking great ass placebo since I went from wanting to kill myself for two weeks straight a few months ago, now I wake up every morning happy and looking forward to the day/the future (even though, like I said, I have 0)

>>38103879
but now you lift and have a gf

it's a confounder, anon. and why do you think it's the antioxidants in fruit, instead of say, fiber?

>>38103975

my gf left me before i started lifting. The whole point is i felt like shit even though I ate relatively healthy (including 25 to 30g of fiber), exercised (kettlebell, pushups mostly), and had her giving god-tier bjs

i think it's antioxidants because I started incorporating seasonings and spices, along with more variety of fruits and veggies (for their specific flavonoids) in my diet after she broke up with me + I started lifting. I doubt lifting is the reason I'm better because I have friends and read about people on this bored who are depressed like I was

a lot of studies indicate that higher levels of antioxidant consumption lead to decreased cancer rates. Other than that can't say
