PURPOSE: To obtain an antioxidant used for medicines, foods, cosmetics, etc., exhibiting stronger anti-oxidant action by synergistic effect by combining a lipophilic antioxidant such as carotenoid with a hydrophilic antioxidant such as catechin as active elements. CONSTITUTION: This excellent antioxidant is obtained by combining a hydrophilic antioxidant with a lipophilic antioxidant. The lipophilic antioxidant includes preferably carotenoid, procarotenoid or its derivative or further, includes preferably vitamin E, β-carotene, lycopene, ubidecarenone or ubiquinol. The hydrophilic antioxidant includes preferably an antioxidant selected from a group of polyphenols having catechin-like or flavonolignan-like structure or further, includes preferably an antioxidant selected from silymarine or one of the component (silybin, silydiapin, silychristin or isosilybin), proanthocyanidin A2 and proanthocyanidol oligomer extracted from Vitis vinifera. Natural or synthetic phospholipid is preferably included as a vehicle. |
