Research shows that antioxidants can reduce lung and bronchial damage due to asthma. Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C and E, reduce the risk of narrowing airways (bronchoconstriction) associated with asthma. They also aid in increasing the effects of asthma medications, thus decreasing the need for higher doses.
