docs > substances > bioactive-compounds > carotenoids

Astaxanthin

Xanthophyll carotenoid in salmon, salmon roe, and related marine foods; mapped to BRS3 redox signalling and BRS4 mitochondrial membrane protection.

docs > substances > bioactive-compounds > choline-methylation

Choline

Essential methyl-donor nutrient in eggs, meat and milk; mapped to BRS2 one-carbon metabolism and BRS6 hepatic lipid export.

docs > substances > bioactive-compounds > endogenous-cofactors

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)

Endogenous redox-sensitive cofactor for aromatic-amino-acid hydroxylases and nitric-oxide synthases; not a dietary vitamin or food bioactive.

docs > substances > bioactive-compounds

Glutathione

Endogenous γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine tripeptide and GSH/GSSG redox resource pool; nutritionally relevant through precursor supply, synthesis and recycling rather than as a vitamin.

docs > substances > bioactive-compounds > lignans

Sesamin

Principal sesame lignan; preliminary cardiometabolic trials, null food-level findings, and incomplete translation to ordinary servings.

Sesamolin

Distinct sesame lignan with redox and neuroprotective laboratory findings and almost no human clinical evidence.

docs > substances > bioactive-compounds > organosulfur

Allicin

Reactive organosulfur compound formed when garlic is crushed; linked to antioxidant and antimicrobial effects.

Sulforaphane

Isothiocyanate formed from glucoraphanin when myrosinase is active; studied for Nrf2 signalling.

docs > substances > bioactive-compounds > polyphenols > flavonols

Kaempferol

Dietary flavonol in leafy greens, herbs, tea and some fruits; studied as a food constituent and as an isolated hormetic/senolytic agent.

docs > substances > microbial-metabolites > scfas

Butyrate

Key SCFA supporting mitochondrial function, gut barrier integrity, and neuroinflammation reduction

docs > substances > microbial-metabolites > secondary-plant-conversions

Urolithin A

Microbiome-derived metabolite from ellagitannins; supports mitochondrial resilience and mitophagy

docs > substances > nutrients > macronutrients > amino-acids > conditionals

Glycine

Nonessential amino acid in collagen-rich foods. Substrate of glutathione assembly. Trials of glycine taken alone report psychiatric-symptom changes and small, high-bias sleep findings.

docs > substances > nutrients > micronutrients > minerals > trace

Copper

Essential cuproenzyme cofactor for catecholamine synthesis, iron efflux and redox defence; mapped to BRS1, BRS3, BRS5 and BRS6.

Zinc

Cofactor in neurotransmission and antioxidant enzymes; dopamine modulation
