Antioxidants themselves are not a food but substances that help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. They can be found in many foods, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.

• Vegetarian sources of antioxidants include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Common Indian staples like millets, dals, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, and spices such as turmeric and coriander are rich in antioxidants.
• Some antioxidants can also be derived from animal products, but many common antioxidants are plant-based.

So, if you are asking whether antioxidants are vegetarian, the answer depends on the source. Most antioxidants in a typical diet come from vegetarian sources, making them suitable for vegetarians. If you are considering antioxidant supplements, it's good to check the ingredients to ensure they align with your dietary preferences.

For personalized advice or if you are considering supplements, please consult a nutritionist or a doctor.
