Unique protection of the cell membrane
- It extends through a two-layer membrane
- It stimulates free radicals inside and outside the cell membrane.
DNA damage reduction
- Free radicals attack DNA, which can result in a mutation.
- A strong field to protect DNA from free radicals.
Effective mitochondrial protection
- 1000 times more effective than vitamin E against lipid peroxidation in the mitochondria.
- It protects mitochondria from oxidative damage.
Cross the blood-brain barrier
- Low molecular weight (<600 Daltons)
- Fat-soluble
- It crosses the blood-brain barrier and the blood retinal barrier
