Antioxidant Complex DY Life, 60 Softgels, 60 Servings

DY Life Antioxidant is a comprehensive formula that combines vitamins, minerals, and borage seed oil (Borago officinalis), a natural source standardized to 20% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), designed to support antioxidant defense, daily energy levels, and optimal body function during demanding periods. Daily exposure to stress, pollution, intense physical activity, and lack of rest can increase oxidative stress within the body, a process associated with cellular aging and long-term physiological imbalance.

Vitamin C and selenium contribute to protecting cells against oxidative stress by supporting the body’s natural antioxidant defense mechanisms against free radicals. (1) Vitamin C also contributes to the normal function of the immune system, playing an important role in supporting the body’s natural defenses, especially during periods of increased stress or physical demand. (2)

Vitamins B2 (riboflavin), B6, and pantothenic acid are directly involved in energy metabolism. They contribute to the conversion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into usable energy while supporting the normal function of the nervous system. (3) Vitamins B2 and B6 also help reduce fatigue and exhaustion, supporting sustained energy levels and mental focus throughout the day.

Borage seed oil provides gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an Omega-6 fatty acid involved in inflammatory balance regulation. GLA is associated with supporting skin health, maintaining skin hydration and barrier integrity, and contributing to joint comfort and mobility. (4)

Beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, contributes to the maintenance of healthy skin and vision while supporting normal immune function. Vitamin A also plays an essential role in cellular regeneration processes. Magnesium completes the formula through its role in supporting muscular and nervous system function, electrolyte balance and the cellular processes involved in energy production.

Antioxidant Protection & Free Radical Defence

Vitamin C (40mg, 50% NRV) and selenium (55µg, 100% NRV) are two of the most evidence-supported nutrients for cellular antioxidant protection. Vitamin C is a direct free radical scavenger operating in water-soluble cellular environments. Selenium is the essential co-factor for glutathione peroxidase - the enzyme responsible for neutralising lipid hydroperoxides and protecting cell membranes from oxidative degradation. Together they provide complementary antioxidant defence across both aqueous and lipid cellular environments.

Energy Metabolism & Fatigue Reduction

Vitamins B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine) and pantothenic acid (B5) are essential co-factors in the metabolic pathways that convert dietary carbohydrates, proteins and fats into cellular ATP energy. All three are provided at 100% NRV per softgel. B2 and B6 specifically contribute to reducing fatigue and exhaustion - regulated claims recognised by EFSA - making this formula particularly relevant for those experiencing energy dips, chronic tiredness or the fatigue associated with high physical or mental demand. Magnesium additionally contributes to normal energy-producing metabolism at cellular level.

Immune System Support

Vitamin C (50% NRV), vitamin A from beta-carotene (125% NRV) and selenium (100% NRV) each contribute to the normal function of the immune system through distinct mechanisms. Vitamin C supports immune cell production and activity; vitamin A maintains the integrity of epithelial barriers - the body's first line of defence - and supports immune cell differentiation; selenium contributes to selenoprotein-mediated immune regulation and antioxidant protection of immune cells.

Skin Health & Barrier Integrity

GLA from borage oil, alongside vitamin A (from beta-carotene), contributes to maintaining healthy skin and epithelial tissue integrity. GLA supports epidermal lipid structure, skin hydration and barrier function - reducing transepidermal water loss and supporting skin elasticity. Vitamin A supports skin cell renewal and the integrity of the skin's epithelial barrier. Together they provide complementary skin support from both fatty acid structural and vitamin-mediated regulatory pathways.

Nervous System & Muscle Function

Vitamins B2 and B6, alongside magnesium, contribute to the normal function of the nervous system and the processes involved in nerve signal transmission. Magnesium is also essential for normal muscle contraction and relaxation, and plays a key role in maintaining electrolyte balance - making it particularly relevant for active individuals or those prone to muscle cramps and tension. At 56mg (15% NRV), the magnesium in this formula provides a meaningful contribution alongside any other dietary magnesium sources.

GLA from Borage Oil: The Anti-Inflammatory Addition

Each softgel provides 325.6mg of borage seed oil standardised to 20% GLA - delivering 65mg of GLA per serving. GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) is converted in the body to DGLA and series-1 prostaglandins with anti-inflammatory activity, contributing to skin barrier integrity, joint comfort and the regulation of the body's inflammatory response - complementing the antioxidant and energy-focused nutrients in the formula with an anti-inflammatory fatty acid dimension.
