Thanks very much for posting about antioxidants having adverse effects.

I found this study with MitoQ:

https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley....4814/phy2.13667

The targeted anti-oxidant MitoQ causes mitochondrial swelling and depolarization in kidney tissue.

Gottwald EM1, Duss M2, Bugarski M1, Haenni D1,3, Schuh CD1, Landau EM2, Hall AM1,4.


Here is the last sentence of the summary in the abstract:

In summary, MitoQ causes mitochondrial swelling and depolarization in PT cells by a mechanism unrelated to anti-oxidant activity, most likely because of increased IMM permeability due to insertion of the alkyl chain.

I tried astaxanthin, and also zeaxanthin, each, for about two years, hoping it would improve eyesight. I noticed no change whatsoever. I used good brands, such as Dr's. Best.
