Comparison of C-reactive Protein and Malondialdehyde Parameters During the Use of a Supplement with Antioxidant Properties

Abstract

Skin cells continuously produce, through metabolic processes and under aggressive external factors, highly reactive molecules oxidation products, generally called free radicals (Sohal, Mockett, Orr, 2022). Enzymatic and non-enzymatic systems immediately neutralize these molecules in a physiological and dynamic balance (Ceconi, Boraso, Cargnoni, Ferrari, 2003). In situations where this balance is broken, various cellular structures suffer structural modifications, triggering or worsening skin state (Addor, 2017). Several substances with antioxidant effects have been offered for oral use, but little is known about their safety, possible associations, and especially their mechanism of action (Borga et al., 2018).
