It's coming soon on my Scribd app, though I intend to skim it, since I agree with the reviewer who noted an over-dependence on antioxidants. I've become wary of them myself. For a few years I fought my inflammation that way, but radically changing my eating plan was what let me lower my use of supplements and herbs, including adaptogens. That's my essential veggies at this moment! I only use those I can "feel" working. And I use 1/4 teaspoon when I do. So far, that's only Arctic Root and Morning Glory root, but Marshmallow root looks promising.
Went to google, which is biased towards plants: use another search engine! But even with the bias, that's honest in bold.

Is there any science behind antioxidants?

Our bodies have preventive and repair mechanisms that regulate oxidative stress pathways. Research has shown that antioxidant enzymes are the most important components of this defense system. Phytochemicals that act as antioxidants may also play a role in helping regulate oxidative stress pathways.

That's the best they can do. It's not enough. Adaptogens are herbs which have been used for centuries. They have a different mechanism which has been shown in studies.
Will give my own review after I check it out. But inflammation is a very big deal to our health, and I usually get something from such reading.
For instance, I don't agree with Dr. Landry, The Plant Doctor, but he gave me good info about lectins. I need to avoid them!
