Antioxidants, prooxidants & metabolism: Is everything that is sold safe? if our cells could talk!

If an unbalanced oxidative stress is detrimental to health, using an antioxidant that has not demonstrated its pro-oxidant capacity can be even worse for health.
How many antioxidants exist? How many have shown that they are in fact not pro-oxidants at the usual dose? And how do these antioxidants influence the metabolism of an individual? In the Stance4Health project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, these situations have been evaluated in vitro and by applying an innovative metabolomics test to urine samples collected on filter paper in humans. Stance4Health, is innovatively applying these research findings to achieve an intelligent personalized nutrition service.
