In Vitro and in Vivo Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Capacities of an Antioxidant-Rich Fruit and Berry Juice Blend. Results of a Pilot and Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover Study. Researchers investigated this juice blend's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in vitro (test tube studies, in the lab) and in vivo (in human subjects). They reported the results to show that “antioxidants in the JB penetrated and protected cells from oxidative damage”. The in vivo portion of the study was “a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover trial with 12 healthy subjects”. Levels of antioxidants in samples of blood serum taken from subjects 1hr and 2hrs after consumption of this juice blend's were significantly higher than levels of antioxidants in their blood before consuming this juice blend's. Further, lipid peroxidation was inhibited 2hrs after consuming this juice blend's. Lipids are an important component of our cell membranes and lipid peroxidation results in them being degraded as a result of free radical activity. Hence, serious cell damage (physical and functional) can result when the cell membranes have been compromised. Also, the by-products of lipid peroxidation may affect the cell’s DNA and/or be carcinogenic.
