Herbal supplements may also be safer than dietary supplements

Herbal supplements may also be safer than dietary supplements. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that antioxidants can in fact have positive effects on the human body, even in the most extreme health conditions. Still, it has never been proven definitively that antioxidants can prevent disease or prolong life. Herbal supplements containing antioxidants may provide a healthier and longer life through greater resistance to disease. However, if you choose to use an antioxidant dietary supplement during a time when your body is already at risk for disease, you may find that your risk for cancer is greater as well.
