Oxidative Stress
The latest evidence-based reporting in Oxidative Stress.
Science UpdateCurcumin, a turmeric polyphenol, was tested in middle-aged runners taking 2 g daily for 6 weeks, improving SIRT3 and DNA-damage markers.
Research & EducationPolyphenols in fruits and vegetables may support antioxidant activity, and higher adolescent flavonoid intake is linked to lower diabetes risk factors.
Research & EducationGlutathione, the brain's key antioxidant, defends against oxidative stress, and studies link its depletion to cognitive decline and neurodegeneration.
Research & EducationCurcumin, resveratrol, and pterostilbene may support the Nrf2 pathway, helping modulate antioxidative status and a healthy inflammatory response.
Research & EducationVitamin D receptors found throughout the body support antioxidative status and healthy aging, and research links deficiency to cognitive decline.
Research & EducationVitamin E tocotrienols may reduce oxidative stress and bone resorption, with trials in postmenopausal women with osteopenia showing improved bone turnover.
Research & EducationPterostilbene, a blueberry compound related to resveratrol, may have greater bioavailability and supports antioxidant activity and cellular aging.
Science UpdateDelta-tocotrienol at 250 mg daily improved CRP and nitric oxide levels by 40 percent and supported healthy inflammation in a clinical study.
Research & EducationCoQ10, blueberries, oats, and pomegranate may support post-exercise recovery, with one trial showing 200 mg CoQ10 for two weeks reduced oxidative stress.
Research & EducationCordyceps species support immune function, gut microbiome health, and the body's response to inflammation and oxidative stress in recent studies.
Science UpdateQuercetin may support cellular health by easing endoplasmic reticulum stress, with research also linking it to neuronal and cardiovascular support.
