Hi Jenny,
Vita Key Antioxidant is a fine supplement. However, I like PreOx better for a few reasons, which are important for immune system function. First, PreOx offers more vitamin E -- 2500 IU per serving compared to 2,000 IU in Vita Key and I like to give a double serving in EPM cases, providing 5,000 IUs of vitamin E. PreOx also contains grapeseed extract, a potent antioxidant. And, finally, PreOx is flaxseed meal based, so it provides omega 3 fatty acids which Vita Key does not have. Omega 3 fatty acids are involved in immune function, as well.
Thank you for writing. I hope this helps with your decision.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
