Description

tert-ButylhydroQuinone (TBHQ) is an antioxidant that has been shown to have synergistic effects with other antioxidants such as vitamin E and vitamin C. TBHQ is a quinone that can be found in foods, especially those rich in oils or fats, such as vegetable oils, soybean oil, and sunflower oil. TBHQ acts as an antioxidant by donating hydrogen atoms to free radicals. It has been shown to protect the liver from oxidative stress caused by the toxic metabolite of acetaminophen (paracetamol). TBHQ also protects against myocardial infarcts, which are caused by decreased blood flow to the heart muscle due to plaque buildup.
