Antioxidant Effects - Major depression is associated with elevated levels of oxidative stress, as well as a reduced capacity of antioxidant defenses. Antioxidant enzymes, especially superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, and catalase (CAT) will be diminished to a large degree. You will also find increased oxidative stress with malondialdehyde (MDA). This increased oxidative stress with depression increases inflammation, diminishes immune response, disrupts neurotransmitter balance and plays a role in neurodegeneration. The Saffron used in Optimum Solace has a specific constituent base; Crocin, Pierocrocin and Safranal.
