Mechanism of Action
Ferulic Acid exerts its biological activities through multiple pathways:
1. Antioxidant Activity
Directly scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals
Protects cell membranes from oxidative damage
Synergistically enhances the antioxidant efficacy of vitamins C and E (up to 8-fold when combined)
2. UV Protection
Absorbs UVB and UVA radiation, providing photoprotection
Reduces UV-induced skin damage and photoaging
3. Anti-Inflammatory & Antimicrobial
4. Cardiovascular Support
5. Immune Modulation
