“One of the major changes observed was a decrease in brain glutathione levels (the major antioxidant in the brain which helps prevent damage to neurons).”

“Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) is a cellular protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant and stress response proteins. It participates in the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE biological pathway – the primary mechanism by which sulforaphane exerts its beneficial effects.”

“The downstream effect of this inhibition was increased expression of antioxidant genes similar to those involved in oxidative stress tolerance and aging in mammals. These findings demonstrate that sulforaphane shows promise as an anti-aging compound via its capacity to reduce oxidative stress.”

“FTA: > A higher intake by postmenopausal women of the natural antioxidant lycopene, found in foods like tomatoes, watermelon and papaya, may lower the risk of renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer, scientists report.”

“The drink is called, "souvenaid" and it was formulated to provide EPA, DHA, B vitamins, antioxidants (vitamins C and E, selenium), choline and uridine monophosphate in a specific combination that is intended to improve synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.”

“Alpha-lipoic acid is a naturally occurring substance present in the human body and in some foods. It is a powerful antioxidant that amplifies the beneficial effects of other antioxidants in the body such as glutathione and coenzyme Q10.”

“Melatonin is best known for regulating sleep timing, but it also has strong antioxidant properties that may support DNA repair. Since night shift work can suppress normal melatonin secretion and has been linked to lower repair of oxidative DNA damage, researchers tested whether taking melatonin before daytime sleep could improve a DNA repair marker.”

“Higher blood levels of antioxidant compounds called carotenoids may lower a person's risk of having high blood pressure, a 2022 study found. The greatest risk-lowering benefit was seen with the carotenoid compound beta-carotene, which cut the risk of having high blood pressure in half.”

“A recent study found that supplemental collagen combined with antioxidants substantially improved the appearance and health of skin and hair in adult women, reducing wrinkle depth by 48 percent. The study involved 40 healthy adult women between the ages of 38 and 50.”

“Antioxidants from whole foods (like fruits and vegetables) are fine, but supplementing with high doses of isolated vitamins like C or E may interfere with mitochondrial biogenesis and muscle adaptation after strength or endurance training​.”
