Finding out the dosage of vitamin E and vitamin C may take trial and error. For me, I take 200IU vitamin E in the morning and 400IU at bedtime. I only take 500mg of calcium ascorbate (buffered vitamin C) in the morning. Some people may need more Vitamin C than that. It really depends on what you can tolerate.
I find that a good dosage of selenium to start off with is 50mcg of selenium yeast, at least during the daytime. I take an additional 50mcg at bedtime for a little extra protection. Taking too much selenium during the day may give you adverse effects, so it might be a good idea to just start out with 50mcg and then work up to higher dosages if needed.
I'm on the lookout for better antioxidants that I can tolerate to add to my regimen. So far, I haven't found too many that I like. I tried Alpha Lipoic Acid and found some relief initially, then later found that it was making me feel tired. Yuck!! I am already a low-energy depressive.
I'm putting more stock into finding herbs with antioxidant properties. I found that cinnamon and ginger both help me, and they both have antioxidant properties. There are other herbs out there with antioxidant properties. I just haven't discovered them yet.
