Micronutrients & recovery
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) acts as a potent antioxidant that regenerates Vitamin E and prevents lipid peroxidation, thereby protecting cell membranes and DNA from oxidative damage.
Eat fruits high in Vitamin C, such as strawberries, oranges, and black currants, to support your body's antioxidant defenses and protect cells from damage.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) changes to the ascorbate radical by giving an electron to the lipid radical to stop the lipid peroxidation chain reactions ... and regenerates vitamin E, a lipid-soluble vitamin in lipoproteins and membranes.

- Consumption of edible fruits rich in bioactive compounds (polyphenols, vitamins, minerals) delays aging and reduces the risk of age-related chronic diseases by neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reducing oxidative stress.Moderate
- Specific polyphenols found in fruits (e.g., resveratrol, pterostilbene, quercetin) prolong lifespan and control signs of aging by regulating inflammation, cell senescence, and oxidative damage.Moderate
