- A significant reduction in serum lipid and protein oxidation was observed.
- Kaempferol was the only major polyphenol detected in human plasma after consumption.
- The study demonstrated the antioxidant potential of greens+ using both in vitro and in vivo methods.
Takeaway
Greens+ is a plant-based supplement that helps your body fight damage from bad stuff in the environment, making you healthier.
Methodology
The study used in vitro assays with a liposome model and an in vivo trial with 10 healthy subjects consuming greens+ for four weeks.
Limitations
