Unstable oxygen molecules known as free radicals enter our bodies from a wide range of sources \u2014 everything from smoke and unhealthy foods to the sunshine and air. Antioxidants in our diet work to neutralize these cell-damaging invaders and include nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and much more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-4cuiqj-23b53172ba3c7bde71e6fcbbd5b2a42b '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>Antioxidants are key to proactive health practices and can be found in many foods, especially fruits and vegetables, however, 86% of adults do not meet the recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables. In addition to that, today&#8217;s produce is 5% &#8211; 40% lower in key nutrients than 50 years ago, making it even more difficult to meet the recommended daily intake. So what&#8217;s the answer?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/uk\/lunasin\/\">Lunasin<\/a> is a seed peptide known by its properties against cancer, chronic inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases. It is a naturally occurring peptide in soy and has been clinically shown to function as an antioxidant in three ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Reduces oxidation of linoleic acid that produces oxygen radicals<\/li>\n<li>Acts like an oxygen radical scavenger (traditional antioxidant mechanism)<\/li>\n<li>Reduces oxygen radicals produced by macrophages. Macrophages are highly specialized cells that remove dying or dead cells and cellular debris.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Lunasin&#8217;s Antioxidant Research Studies<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/24365261\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Antioxidant activity and protective effects of peptide lunasin against oxidative stress in intestinal Caco-2 cells.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3914560\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Food-derived bioactive peptides on inflammation and oxidative stress.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/20083341\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lunasin peptide purified from Solanum nigrum L. protects DNA from oxidative damage by suppressing the generation of hydroxyl radical via blocking fenton reaction.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/24527452\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Food Derived Bioactive Peptides on Inflammation and Oxidative Stress<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/20083341\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lunasin peptide purified from Solanum nigrum L. protects DNA from oxidative damage by suppressing the generation of hydroxyl radical via blocking fenton reaction.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/19836349\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of cancer preventive peptide lunasin in RAW 264.7 macrophages.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='av_promobox av-8wimj-2b7564e42f29e32cba6fc4f371bbaffd avia-button-yes  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><div class='avia-promocontent'><p>\n<a title=\"Lunasin and Nutritional Epigenetics\" href=\"\/uk\/lunasin\/\">Learn more about the benefits of lunasin<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div  class='avia-button-wrap av-8wimj-a994e62e57a646217dd0241aace9892a-wrap avia-button-right '><a href=\"https:\/\/wealththrunutrition.com\/uk\/reliv-products\/\" class=\"avia-button av-8wimj-a994e62e57a646217dd0241aace9892a av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-right avia-color-theme-color\" aria-label=\"Reliv UK Products\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Reliv UK Products<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4059","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wealththrunutrition.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wealththrunutrition.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wealththrunutrition.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wealththrunutrition.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wealththrunutrition.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wealththrunutrition.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4059\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wealththrunutrition.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
