Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the powerhouse in green tea, a powerful natural antioxidant. Anthocyanidins, which are found in great amounts in various fruits and berries, act as protectants against oxidative stress and are known to uphold DNA integrity. Moreover, these colorful compounds help keep a healthy balance of inflammation and keep vascular permeability in check. Taking lycopene supplements, another influential carotenoid antioxidant, may help preserve normal blood pressure.*
