Chronic vitamin E deficiency accelerates in vivo oxidation, which is closely related to aging. There is a significant increase in lipid hydroperoxides in the normal aged mouse brain, especially in the hippocampus compared with young controls. Accumulation of oxidative products induces risk of developing age-related disorders [1]. Normally, our bodies maintain a balance of oxidation and reduction, but the balance gradually collapses as we age. To prevent oxidation, we should always consume fresh fruits, vegetables and supplements. The supplement market is growing year by year. One antioxidant mixed supplement is Twendee X, which contains 8 substances [2]. However, the detailed beneficial effects of Twendee X have not yet been elucidated. In this study, vitamin E-deficient mice were given Twendee X and their cognitive function was measured [3]. Vitamin E-deficient mice had significantly reduced learning ability, the learning rate was comparable to normal aged mouse. Treatment with Twendee X significantly improved spatial ability, despite significantly slower swimming speeds than the untreated group. These results demonstrate that Twendee X has a potential as a powerful antioxidant supplement through protection of in vitro oxidation.
