An antioxidant is a generic name given to any substance that is capable of hindering oxidation reactions (generally bad). Antioxidants include vitamins C and E, proteins such as the enzymes catalase and peroxidase, and minerals such as selenium.

Given that, antioxidants may be included in the nutrient groups of vitamins, proteins, and minerals.
