Important flavonoids and their role as a therapeutic agent

Flavonoids were found to exert several beneficial impacts on health, such as antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antiviral and cardio-protective effects. Flavonoids may represent a feasible bioactive intervention, and their effects depend on the type of flavonoid, its bioavailability and mechanism of action. In this study by Ullah et al. (2020), the authors highlight the current findings regarding the beneficial effects of individual flavonoids, isolation and synthesis methods, and currently available animal and human models.

Associations between flavonoid-rich food and flavonoid intakes and incident unhealthy aging outcomes in older United States males and females

Our understanding of how flavonoid-rich foods help prevent various aspects of unhealthy aging remains limited. This study by Bondonno et al. (2025) investigated how consuming such foods, along with overall flavonoid intake, relates to key indicators of unhealthy aging, including frailty, reduced physical function, and poor mental health. Researchers tracked more than 86,000 participants in […]

Influence of Lycopene intake on mental health: A systematic review of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)

Although some studies have suggested a potential connection between lycopene and mental health, no comprehensive systematic review has yet evaluated this relationship. This study by Głąbska et al. (2025) aimed to systematically assess the effects of lycopene on mental health by analyzing findings from Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs). The authors conducted a PRISMA-compliant systematic review […]
