I would like to understand how taking an antioxidant would make you feel better? I mean, I feel better when I eat my 5 veggies and fruits, which contain antioxidants... I drink tea, and it doesn't make me feel much better all around... I take a vitamin with antioxidants...oh well... I guess that people will try to sell anything.

I dunno how they're supposed to make you feel better in the short term.

Antioxidants DO slow down chromosomal damage from free radicals, which helps prevent cancer and may prolong natural lifespan.

HereÂs some botanic info for Momordica grosvenori:

Since this is a herbs forum, maybe the topic here should be how to grow it, or if there is any way to obtain seeds. These substances are not regulated, and one should be skeptical of health claims without some sort of scientific &/or medical references. There are studies being done; maybe those on the herbalism forum will have more info.
