Antioxidant
Biocoral® was found to be an antioxidant, in a study published in 2009 in “Biomaterials.” Antioxidants are an important component of health. This is because they work on a cellular level thereby reducing the onset of disease in general. When cells use oxygen to produce energy, they give off harmful byproducts called free radicals that can attack healthy cells. However, antioxidants attach themselves to free radicals and prevent them from damaging or killing cells.
Accelerated Senescence
Accelerated senescence is essentially rapid aging. Biocoral® may help prevent this from occurring. The 2009 study in “Biomaterials” found that Biocoral® protected against accelerated senescence in the brains of mice. The Biocoral® supplementation works by affecting the processes of genes involved with cellular preservation.
