Do you need to take antioxidants?

Ben Greenfield records a short YouTube promotional video arguing that many active people need antioxidant supplementation due to environmental exposures. He presents and reads the ingredient label of a product called "Life Shots," lists its active ingredients and high-percent daily values for several vitamins/minerals, and offers viewers a limited-time 50% discount (free U.S. shipping) on a box of 10 packets. The video mixes health-claim advocacy (antioxidant protection for active lifestyles) with a direct sales call-to-action.

Hey, you guys, what's up? It's Ben Greenfield. I'm shooting this video for you right now because I'm pissed off. I was just reading an article in a magazine that said that you don't need antioxidants at all. Now, I don't know about you, but I beat up my body every single day. Jumping in chlorinated pools, running besides roads that have toxins and pollutants, walking into buildings that have cleaning chemicals that are dumping free radicals into my body. And frankly, I'm all about giving my body a little bit of extra help when it comes to mitigating this kind of damage. Now, you've probably heard me talk about this stuff before. That's called Life Shots. And what I'm going to do right now is show you a picture of this stuff, what it looks like, and also let you know what's in it. So, first of all, this is what it looks like. It's this little packet, and I dump this in a glass of water. I usually go about mid morning, sometimes mid afternoon if I'm going to be swimming in a chlorinated pool, or I'll do it right before I head to the pool. But basically, it's a bunch of wild plant derivatives that they put into this little packet. And I can throw this in my bag wherever I go. So what's in it? Basically, I'm just going to read the label to you because I don't have it memorized. But this stuff kicks butt. It was designed by my personal physician who filled me in on it, and I've been hooked ever since. It's got 2,000 international units of vitamin D. Most multivitamins that you take have 200 to 400. So it's got like 500% of your daily vitamin D needs, which is huge. 44,000. I'm sorry, 4,000% of your riboflavin. Vitamin B needs pantothenic acid. 5,000%. Vitamin B6, 3,750%, vitamin B12, 5,833%. It's got zinc, a potent testosterone precursor in it. It's got N acetylcysteine and then this blend of acai berry, goji berry, melon extract, say, berry fruit extract, maki berry, grape seed extract, grape skin extract, resveratrol, so I don't have to drink too much wine. Grape powder, wild blueberry extract, cranberry, raspberry, strawberry tart, cherry, wild bilberry, 25 calories. That's it. So one packet of this stuff basically gives my body Everything that it needs for good skin, good hair, good nails, and basically fighting a lot of the stuff that I get exposed to on a daily basis when I'm out there living life. So here's the deal. A box of this stuff, and this is NSF certified, meaning you can take it without feeling like you're going to get busted for doping. One box of this stuff is usually 35 bucks. Here's the deal. I have about 30 boxes or so right now sitting in my office and what I want to do is give this stuff to you at 50% off and I will ship it free anywhere in the U.S. okay, so 50% off, shipped free anywhere in the U.S. i'm going to put a link right underneath this video and I will personally place this box in a nice little bag. And I'm actually going to throw a bunch of extra perks in there too. I've got cordyceps extract, I've got somnidrin, magnesium, bunch of other stuff that I'll toss in there for you. But 15 bucks anywhere in the States.
I'm sorry, not 15 bucks. What's 50% of 35? It's like $17.50. I'll send you a box of this stuff. One box has enough, One box has 10 packets. You can try this stuff for 10 days for $17.50 free shipping anywhere. And what I do again is one packet just like this. I honestly just dump it into my mouth. I don't even put it in a glass of water. But whatever you want to do, either way, I'll send this stuff to you. It is the most potent antioxidant you're going to find. It's complete bowl that you don't need to take. Antioxidants if you are living life. If you're sitting up on a mountain, living in pristine mountain air, sitting cross legged in the middle of a field, meditating all day, maybe you don't need antioxidants. Otherwise grab some of this stuff and I will ship it to you. Supplies are limited, so click on the link underneath the video and I'm Ben Greenfield, over and out.
