A new study has found that N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant derived from the amino acid L-cysteine, could reduce some complications caused by obesity as well as age.
The potential heart health benefits of omega-3s may be linked (in part at least) to their ability to protect the DNA in the cells lining blood vessels, according to a study from Japanese researchers.
Researchers have warned manufacturers of functional foods and supplements to keep polyphenol doses low, following conclusions that low concentrations protect but high concentrations may damage DNA.
