* '''[[Vitamin E]] and [[Selenium]]:''' These antioxidants play a crucial role in protecting the brain and nervous system against oxidative stress, which can damage cells and is implicated in conditions like stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Vitamin E, in particular, has been shown to support cognitive health and may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. | * '''[[Vitamin E]] and [[Selenium]]:''' These antioxidants play a crucial role in protecting the brain and nervous system against oxidative stress, which can damage cells and is implicated in conditions like stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease.

* '''[[Coenzyme Q10]]:''' CoQ10 is involved in energy production within cells and acts as an antioxidant. It has been studied for its potential benefits in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, where mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are key features. | * '''[[Coenzyme Q10]]:''' CoQ10 is involved in energy production within cells and acts as an antioxidant.

* '''[[Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)]]:''' Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a naturally occurring compound that functions as an antioxidant in the body. It plays a crucial role in mitochondrial energy metabolism and is known for its ability to regenerate other antioxidants, such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E, enhancing their effectiveness. ALA has been particularly studied for its benefits in peripheral neuropathy, especially diabetic neuropathy. It helps improve nerve blood flow, reduce oxidative stress, and alleviate pain, burning, and numbness associated with neuropathy. Additionally, due to its antioxidant properties, ALA is being explored for potential benefits in other neurological conditions characterized by oxidative stress. | |||
