Functions:
Ferulic acid is an antioxidant which neutralizes free radicals
(superoxide, nitric oxide and hydroxyl radical) which could cause
oxidative damage of cell membranes and DNA. Ferulic acid helps to
prevent damage to our cells caused by ultraviolet light. Exposure
to ultraviolet light actually increases the antioxidant potency
of ferulic acid. Ferulic acid is often added as ingredient of
anti-aging supplements. Studies have shown that ferulic acid can
decrease blood glucose levels and can be of help to diabetes
patients.
Ferulic acid seems to protect against cancer, bone degeneration,
menopausal symptoms (hot flushes). Like many other antioxidants,
ferulic acid reduces the level of cholesterol and triglyceride,
thereby reducing the risk of hearth disease. Ferulic acid seems
to reduce the risk of many cancers, including cancer of the
stomach, colon, breast, prostate, liver, lung and tongue. A study
by W Kuenzig et all Caffeic and ferulic acid as blockers of
nitrosamine formationpublished in Carcinogenesis (Vol 5,
***4) showed that dietary caffeic acid and ferulic acid may play
a role in the body's defence against carcinogenesis by inhibiting
the formation of N- nitroso compounds.
