Hydroxytyrosol can be an excellent effective means of neutralizing free radicals, and therefore a powerful tool in combating oxidative stress and chronic diseases. Oxidative stress is a harmful condition in which the body produces more free radicals than it can handle. It is caused by environmental toxins, infections and unhealthy nutrition. Over time, it is effective in the development of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes and mitochondrial dysfunction.
What is hydroxytyrosol?
Hydroxytyrosol is a polyphenol found in all parts of the olive plant but most commonly found in olive oil. Absorption by the body is very high compared to other antioxidant compounds. An antioxidant that is soluble in both oil and water and can rapidly pass into blood and tissues.
According to the ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) scale, hydroxytyrosol has multiplied all other antioxidants as a capacity to fight free radicals. ORAC value is 68,576, 15 times the value of green tea and 3 times higher than the value of CoQ10.
Numerous scientific studies have been conducted on the therapeutic potential of hydroxytyrosol. Research results show that this polyphenol is effective in the prevention and treatment of cancer, heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes and mitochondrial dysfunction starting with oxidative stress. Although there are various supplements that contain polyphenol, experts believe that antioxidants are natural
