Shaklee Antioxidant: comprehensive free radical protection for NZ’s high-UV environment
NZ has the world’s highest UV index
New Zealand’s thinning ozone layer means Kiwis are exposed to some of the highest UV radiation globally — making antioxidant protection especially critical.
Fat AND water-soluble protection
Free radicals occur in both fat-soluble membranes and water-based cellular fluid. Shaklee Antioxidant covers both — most supplements only cover one.
Synergistic nutrient network
Vitamin C regenerates vitamin E after it neutralises a free radical — creating a self-reinforcing antioxidant network rather than isolated action.
Why antioxidant protection matters more in New Zealand than almost anywhere
New Zealand and Australia have the world’s highest rates of skin cancer — a direct consequence of the Southern Hemisphere ozone depletion that exposes Kiwis to significantly more UV radiation than equivalent Northern Hemisphere latitudes. UV radiation generates free radicals that damage DNA, proteins and cell membranes. Dietary antioxidants are the body’s primary defence.
Beyond UV, modern life generates oxidative stress from air pollution, processed foods, alcohol, stress, and intense exercise. Most people’s antioxidant intake from diet alone is insufficient to counter this load — particularly as NZ soils’ selenium depletion reduces the antioxidant capacity of NZ-grown produce.
Ingredients in Shaklee Antioxidant NZ | Immune & Cell Protection 60 Tabs
Shaklee quality — 350+ point testing standard.
| Ingredient | Role | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) | Water-soluble antioxidant | Neutralises free radicals in water-based cellular fluid. Regenerates vitamin E after it acts as a fat-soluble antioxidant — creating a synergistic network. |
| Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) | Fat-soluble antioxidant | Protects cell membranes and LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage. Mixed tocopherols provide broader protection than alpha-tocopherol alone. |
| Beta-carotene Dunaliella salina | Fat-soluble antioxidant, vitamin A precursor | Natural beta-carotene from algae — quenches singlet oxygen free radicals particularly damaging in UV exposure. Converts to vitamin A as needed. |
| Selenium | Antioxidant cofactor | Essential for glutathione peroxidase — the body’s most powerful antioxidant enzyme. NZ soils are selenium-depleted, making supplementation particularly important. |
| Zinc | Antioxidant enzyme cofactor | Cofactor for superoxide dismutase (SOD) — a critical antioxidant enzyme. Also supports immune function and wound healing. |
| Herbal antioxidant complex | Polyphenol protection | Includes green tea extract, grape seed extract or similar polyphenols depending on formulation batch — providing additional flavonoid antioxidant protection. |
How Shaklee Antioxidant NZ | Immune & Cell Protection 60 Tabs works
Water-soluble antioxidants protect cellular fluid
Vitamin C neutralises free radicals in the aqueous compartments of cells — protecting DNA and proteins in real time.
Fat-soluble antioxidants protect membranes
Vitamin E and beta-carotene are embedded in cell membranes — intercepting free radicals before they can damage membrane lipids and embedded proteins.
Selenium activates glutathione peroxidase
Selenium is the cofactor for glutathione peroxidase — which converts damaging hydrogen peroxide to water, a critical defence against cellular oxidative stress.
Antioxidant recycling network
Vitamin C donates electrons to regenerate oxidised vitamin E back to its active form — creating a sustained, self-reinforcing antioxidant cycle.

What to expect
Realistic guide.
Week 1-2
Reduced post-exercise muscle soreness as oxidative stress from exercise is better managed.
Month 1
Improved skin tone and resilience as cell membrane antioxidant protection improves.
Month 2+
Cumulative free radical damage slows — long-term benefits for cellular aging, immune function and cardiovascular health.
Is Shaklee Antioxidant NZ | Immune & Cell Protection 60 Tabs right for you?
✓ Yes if you…
- All New Zealanders given our high UV exposure
- Anyone who exercises intensely (generates oxidative stress)
- Smokers or ex-smokers (high oxidative burden)
- Those with high alcohol intake
- People who spend significant time outdoors
✕ Skip if you…
- Those on anticoagulants — vitamin E at high doses has mild blood-thinning effects; consult GP
- Those on certain chemotherapy drugs — antioxidants may interact; consult oncologist
Pro tips
Take with EFA Krill
Alpha lipoic acid in EFA Krill (34067) synergises with this antioxidant blend — both fat and water-soluble protection, plus ALA regenerates both C and E.
Consistent daily use
Antioxidant protection is ongoing — daily supplementation maintains consistent cellular protection rather than sporadic high doses.
Apply sunscreen regardless
Antioxidants supplement but do not replace sun protection — still use SPF50+ outdoors in NZ.
