Nogle antioxidanter kan forhindre mutation i DNA

Stråling kan mutere DNA så man bliver modtagelig for virus, eller mutere et virus så der skabes et potentielt nyt farligt virus.

Antioxidanter som kan beskytte mod DNA skader og mutation;

• Quercetin
  • En bioflavonoid som findes i grøntsager og frugter
  • Findes som kosttilskud flere steder

• Selén (Seleium)
  • Findes i f.eks. kød, æg, og paranødder.
  • Findes i mange tilgængelige kosttilskud

• Koffeinsyre
  • Findes i kaffe
  • Findes grøntsager, frugter og urter

• C-vitamin
  • Findes i store mængder i skrallen fra citroner
  • Findes i kosttilskud

• MethylSulfonylMethane (MSM)
  • Findes i grønne grøntsager
  • Findes i kosttilskud

• Zink
  • Findes i flere fødevarer
  • Findes i flere kosttilskud

Anbefales mod Coronavirus
I 2020 beskrev et amerikansk og engelsk medicinsk eksperiment at kombinationen af C-vitamin og Quercetin kunne bruges til at forebygge mod smitte med Coronavirus og i behandlingen af Coronasmittede. (*7)

Også særlige antioxidanter i æbler kan beskytte DNA fra skader fra stråling, læs mere her;
