“CoQ10 is a fat-soluble antioxidant compound produced in the body. It is also widely available as a dietary supplement. CoQ10 is an essential component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, which is responsible for the production of cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.”

“A 2010 study found that 7,8-dihydroxyflavone, a BDNF mimetic, exerted neuroprotective qualities similar to those of BDNF. 7,8-dihydroxyflavone is a type of flavonoid compound present in a variety of plants. Flavonoids exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, among others.”

“Sulforaphane promotes the production of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that facilitates the body's excretion of toxic substances. When glutathione binds with benzene, a known carcinogen present in air pollution, the two form mercapturic acids, which can be excreted and measured in urine.”

“Coffee consumption did not affect white matter or brain volume, suggesting that green tea protects against white matter damage. Green tea contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a polyphenolic compound that exerts robust antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that supplementation with ubiquinol during strenuous exercise provides benefits for bone health and energy metabolism. Ubiquinol, a bioactive compound that exerts antioxidant properties, is the reduced form of coenzyme Q10.”

“Findings from a new study demonstrate that garlic alleviates clinical symptoms and inflammatory markers associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Garlic is a bulbous plant used in cooking and traditional medicine practices. It exerts antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.”

“Sulforaphane, a bioactive compound derived from broccoli, promotes the production of glutathione, a potent endogenous antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress. Learn more in this clip featuring sulforaphane expert Dr. Jed Fahey. View full publication.”

“Interestingly, the impaired mitochondrial function coincided with the loss of cellular Nrf2, a protein involved in the body's antioxidant defense response. In addition, they found that the endurance athletes had worse glucose control than a matched control group.”

“Flavanols are polyphenolic compounds in dark chocolate, berries, apples, and tea. Evidence suggests flavanols exert potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Learn more about flavanols and other polyphenols in our overview article.”

“Vitamin C's immune-boosting and antioxidant properties can mediate the body's inflammatory response, reducing the symptoms or risk of various diseases. Evidence suggests that vitamin C can lower C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation.”
