“Oxidative stress occurs when the cells in our bodies react to oxygen-reactive species, which can negatively impact our cellular signaling,” optometrist Victor Paul, O.D., of DeCesare Eye Care, tells mindbodygreen. “Environmental stressors\u2014including UV rays and pollutants, to name a few\u2014increase free radicals in our bodies.”<\/p>\n
In a 2015 randomized controlled trial (RCT) published by the Journal of the American College of Nutrition<\/em>, researchers found that maqui berry extract helped improve oxidative status in healthy adults.* You can thank the berry’s phytonutrients anthocyanin and delphinidin for these impressive antioxidant actions.<\/p>\n “Almost all of the proposed benefits of maqui berry [are] because of the high amount of anthocyanin (and, specifically, the bioactive compound delphinidin) in the fruit,” Giovinazzo explains. “The phytonutrient works primarily by promoting a healthy inflammatory pathway in our body. Anthocyanins reduce oxidative stress by combating free radicals, including UV rays (to help promote healthy skin and anti-aging) and lipid peroxidation.”*<\/p>\n In a recent animal study published in Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity<\/em>, scientists found that oxidative stress implicated cellular structures, giving rise to undesirable conditions and faster aging. The anthocyanin and delphinidin levels in maqui berries promote an overall healthy homeostasis in the body, staving off the oxidative stress linked to such life-disrupting health issues.*<\/p>\n Smaller amounts of free radicals can also promote healthy, youthful skin1
