Ginseng's active components orchestrate mechanisms to slow ageing through enhanced antioxidant enzyme expression and DNA repair, a new review has concluded.
A new clinical study demonstrates “statistically significant improvements” in skin with the supplementation of Eternalyoung (EY), a blend of four botanical ingredients from Monteloeder, S. L.
Evidence for the beneficial effects of antioxidants is very weak, and researchers should work harder to understand the mechanisms behind oxidative stress, an academic review has concluded.
The pinkish-orange carotenoid astaxanthin – one of the hottest ingredients in dietary supplements – may enhance endurance and slow fatigue by boosting mitochondria antioxidant defenses, says a new study from Brazil.
Daily supplements of curcumin – the natural pigment that gives the spice turmeric its yellow color – may support healthy aging, with two new studies indicating benefits for arterial aging and cognition.
Supplementation with the marine compound astaxanthin could help to prevent or alleviate complications associated with diabetes, new research in rats has suggested.
A combination of two common dietary supplements, L-carnitine and
alpha-lipoic acid, could reduce oxidative stress associated with
ageing and boost energy production, says new research - adding to
previous reports.
Mice genetically engineered to produce the human antioxidant enzyme
catalase lived about 20 per cent longer than normal mice, reported
US scientists last week, providing further evidence for the theory
that antioxidants can slow ageing.
An upcoming conference on the enzyme superoxide dismutase looks set
to provoke a face-off between leading researchers on the role of
antioxidants in disease.
What role do antioxidants play in preventing age-related diseases?
What changes occur in the human body when it ages? A European

Norwich, is currently trying to tackle...
A new European project is to study biomarkers for antioxidants and
look at ways in which the release of dietary antioxidants can be
successfully measured.
Two dietary supplements readily available in most health food
stores have been shown to slow down the ageing process in rats,
raising hopes that an anti-ageing pill for humans could soon be a
reality.
