I agree! It's just picking out which antioxidants to supplement with that becomes the trick. Between my morning OJ and eating apples or pears and tomatoes daily, I get a lot of vitamin C - in fact, more than the RDA. The same is true for vitamin A. So, I don't think supplementing them is necessary since I always get more than the RDA daily. But, as I mentioned, I don't get enough vitamin E - some days, not even close to 100%.
So that is something I probably need to supplement. Nuts are a great source of vitamin E but I just can't tolerate them. I made my own almond butter and do better eating almonds this way. Nuts have been very hard for me to digest lately and I love nuts - all kinds.
