You know, we've seen it in patients with carnivore diets. They have very restrictive diets that avoid all sources of vitamin C, and then other people who are food avoidant for other personal or religious beliefs. Usually I see this in patients, and it's very rare, but you still see it a couple times a year in the big cities, is people who have a very specific white diet.

They're only eating rice and white bread, or they're only eating potatoes and starches, and they have no form of vitamin C, and they come in, their gums are bleeding, they have what we call corkscrew hairs, or the hairs are starting to twist and bleed into the skin. Oh, wow. Yeah, and you're like, hey, have a little orange, or have a vitamin C, and they correct. Yeah. So that's my number one.

If I got to pick one antioxidant, probably vitamin C. There's two close next ones. The next one I like astaxanthin. I think it's an under-talked-about antioxidant that it's not common in the derm world. We don't know why, but it's really common in the wellness and functional world. There's a lot of good data showing it has really good antioxidant properties.

You usually find it in things like microalgae, krill, shrimp, salmon. But we actually have done several studies in skin and it shows that it improves skin appearance objectively by 30%. Elasticity, hydration status, fine lines and wrinkles, signs of aging. And it's an easy supplement that can be consumed. You can have it in your diet. You can take it as a supplement. So I love astaxanthin.

And another antioxidant that I absolutely love, and these are isolated forms, you know, not like you get a myriad of compounds when you eat blueberries or pomegranates or raspberries, but isolated antioxidants. I love nicotinamide or niacinamide. And it's a B vitamin derivative that has been shown as an antioxidant to allow your skin to correct DNA damage from the sun.

And this has been shown both in laboratory studies, animal studies, and human studies. In fact, there was a landmark study that just supplemented patients only with nicotinamide, which is a B3 derivative, nothing else. And their cancer risk dropped by 30%. Wow. Their skin cancer risk.
