“However, cinnamic acid is a naturally occurring polyphenol with potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Learn more about polyphenols in our overview article.”

“Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, widely recognized for its antioxidant properties. The vitamin protects the body from damage caused by reactive oxygen species and participates in many physiological processes, including immune function, wound healing, fatty acid metabolism, neurotransmitter production, and blood vessel formation, as well as other key processes and pathways.”

“Anthocyanins are polyphenolic compounds that exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective effects, among others. It's noteworthy that freeze-drying blueberries induces considerable anthocyanin losses.”

“Curcumin in an antioxidant compound produced by the plant Curcuma longa, a member of the ginger family. Curcumin exhibits a wide array of beneficial health effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetes properties.”

“A recent study demonstrates that consumption of a wild blueberry extract improves metabolic function and cognitive performance in middle-aged adults. Blueberries are rich sources of anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid compound that exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.”

“When these processes are compromised due to insignificant magnesium, cancer-causing mutations can develop. Magnesium's role in DNA repair and its antioxidant properties suggest a protective effect against age-related diseases, including cancer.”

“A recent study suggests that drinking a cocoa beverage rich in flavanols improves symptoms associated with PAD. Cocoa contains the flavanol epicatechin, a bioactive food component that exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties.”

“Carotenoids are red, yellow, and orange pigments found in fruits and vegetables that exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Lycopene (which is found in tomatoes and watermelon) and lutein (which is found in green leafy vegetables) are among the most abundant carotenoids in the human diet.”

“Cellular damage incurred by oxidative stress underlies the pathophysiology of many chronic health disorders, including neuropsychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia. Glutathione, an antioxidant compound produced by the body’s cells, helps prevent damage from oxidative stress.”

“Green tea is unoxidized; oolong tea is partially oxidized; and black tea is fully oxidized. Tea contains several bioactive compounds, including catechins and caffeine. Catechins are polyphenolic compounds that exert antioxidant properties.”
