I haven't seen anyone post this. It looks like there may
be some evidence for bilirubin being a very powerful
antioxidant (even more than glutathione which is really
rather shocking).

I haven't managed to find the PNAS article yet. Perhaps someone
at a Univ. with access can figure out where it is located.
At this time, I don't know anything however that would increase
ones bilirubin production. (More hemoglobin perhaps? But that
would seem to require more iron which is generally considered
to be a pro-oxidant.) There is something not entirely obvious
(at least to me) going on here.
