Last, and perhaps most important, individual antioxidant nutrients differ in their transport and storage. Some antioxidants act primarily in the aqueous portion of the bloodstream, others within particles of lipoprotein in the blood, others on cell membranes, still others within cellular cytoplasm, and a few in cell nuclei.

The antioxidant profile of vitamin E is different from that of vitamin C, and, likewise, the antioxidant nutrients are partners. Just as we need to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, we need to get optimal amounts of the major antioxidant nutrients, especially the curcuminoids.
