• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dihydroferulic acid is a natural compound that is found in both plants and animals. It is an intermediate in the metabolism of ferulic acid, which is found in plants. Dihydroferulic acid has been shown to have a redox potential similar to p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which may be due to dihydroferulic acid's ability to reduce hydrogen peroxide. Dihydroferulic acid has also been shown to increase production of neurotrophic factors and stimulate polymerase chain reaction activity. Dihydroferulic acid has been shown to have biological properties that are related to its antioxidant activity, such as its ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation and scavenge hydroxyl radicals.
