A Blend Consisting of Agaran from Seaweed Gracilaria birdiae and Chromium Picolinate Is a Better Antioxidant Agent than These Two Compounds Alone

A blend refers to the combination of two or more components achieve properties that are superior those found in individual products used for their production. Gracilaria birdiae agaran (SPGb) and chromium picolinate (ChrPic) both antioxidant agents. However, there is no documentation blends incorporate agarans ChrPic. Hence, objective this study was generate containing SPGb ChrPic exhibit enhanced activity compared alone. commercially acquired, while extracted from seaweed. Five (B1; B2; B3; B4; B5) were produced, tests indicated B5 as best blend. not cytotoxic genotoxic. H2O2 (0.6 mM) induced toxicity fibroblasts (3T3), effect abolished by (0.05 mg·mL−1); neither nor showed effect. The cells also signs when exposed after being incubated with 24 h. In another experiment, later SPGb, ChrPic, B5. Again, effective, reduced MTT 100%. data demonstrated has points a product be future vivo confirm its action. It may possible nutraceutical agent.
