Nutrition 216 — Antioxidants in Health and Disease II is a two-hour PACE nutrition CE webinar and the advanced continuation of the Antioxidants series. Building on the foundational science covered in Nutrition 215, this course moves deeper into the clinical application of antioxidant therapy — examining how Reactive Oxygen Species drive gene expression, how targeted supplementation protocols are constructed, and where the line between therapeutic and harmful dosing lies.
Instructor Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN draws on 46+ years of clinical nutrition practice to help chiropractors translate advanced antioxidant science into practical patient management strategies. Practitioners earn 2 CE hours toward license renewal.

How does Nutrition 216 differ from Nutrition 215?
Nutrition 215 establishes the foundational science of free-radical pathology, oxidative stress, and antioxidant categories. Nutrition 216 advances into ROS gene interactions, disease-specific antioxidant protocols, and the clinical dangers of indiscriminate supplementation — making this course the essential follow-up for practitioners who want to apply antioxidant science at the patient level.
What is the clinical significance of ROS and gene expression for chiropractors?
Reactive Oxygen Species influence gene transcription through redox-sensitive pathways that regulate inflammation, cellular repair, and apoptosis. Understanding ROS-gene interactions allows chiropractors to identify patients with elevated oxidative burden, explain why lifestyle and dietary choices drive chronic disease risk, and recommend targeted antioxidant interventions grounded in biochemical evidence.
What are the dangers of indiscriminate antioxidant supplementation?
High-dose supplementation can produce pro-oxidant effects, interfere with essential ROS signaling required for immune function and cellular repair, and mask early indicators of disease. Certain antioxidants interact with medications or blunt the adaptive response to exercise. Nutrition 216 equips practitioners to advise patients on evidence-based dosing and avoid supplementation harm.
Is Nutrition 216 PACE-approved for chiropractic license renewal?
Yes. Nutrition 216 is PACE-approved for chiropractic license renewal in most U.S. states. Visit the CCEDseminars State CE Guidelines page to confirm your state or region's requirements before enrolling.
