    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Pharmacological research 2021-02-04 Brain scans and imaging

    Astaxanthin is a natural C40 carotenoid with numerous reported biological functions, most of them associated with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, standing out from other antioxidants as it has shown the highest oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), 100-500 times higher than ⍺-tocopherol and a 10 times higher free radical inhibitory activity than related antioxidants (α-tocopherol, α-carotene, β -carotene, lutein and lycopene).

  2. An evidence-based update on the pharmacological activities and possible molecular targets of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Drug design, development and therapy 2014-12-17 Brain scans and imaging

    Lycium barbarum berries, also named wolfberry, Fructus lycii, and Goji berries, have been used in the People's Republic of China and other Asian countries for more than 2,000 years as a traditional medicinal herb and food supplement.
