Antioxidant Vitamins,
Experts have found a positive correlation between superoxide generation and the
negative symptoms of schizophrenia, indicating a possible role for oxidative
stress in the development of the disease (and the potential for antioxidants to
help in decreasing the risk or severity of the disease). "There are
several lines of evidence to support the contribution of oxygen free radicals
in schizophrenia, including increased lipid peroxidation, fatty acids, and
alterations in blood levels of antioxidant enzymes," note Pinkhas Sirota
(Tel Aviv University, Israel) and colleagues, in a recent research paper.
Higher
than normal intake of foods known to have a high content of antioxidants, as
well as supplements of high antioxidant vitamins (Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin E,
Vitamin C) may have some beneficial impact on the incidence and progression of
