Compositions for alleviating inflammation and oxidative stress in a mammal
First Claim
1. An antioxidant-promoting composition comprising active ingredients comprising Bacopa monniera extract;
- milk thistle extract, ashwagandha powder, green tea extract, and turmeric extract, wherein the composition increases the enzyme activity level of at least one antioxidant enzyme selected from the group consisting of;
superoxide dismutase;
catalase; and
glutathione peroxidase and decreases the plasma concentration level of thiobarbituric acid reactive chemical species, when administered in an effective amount to a mammalian subject in need thereof.

Abstract
An antioxidant-promoting composition that increases antioxidant defense potential in a subject is disclosed comprising Bacopa monniera extract; milk thistle extract, ashwagandha powder, green tea extract, Gotu kola powder, Ginko biloba leaf extract; Aloe vera powder; turmeric extract; and N-acetyl cysteine. The antioxidant-promoting composition of the invention safely induces cellular antioxidant potential to achieve an overall net decrease in oxidative stress without the undesirable side-effects associated with the individual components of the antioxidant-promoting composition. Also disclosed is a method for reducing the undesirable side-effects of free radicals in a subject by administering to a subject in need of such antioxidants an effective amount of antioxidant-promoting composition of the invention.
