Kaempferol is a natural antioxidant found in kale, berries and endives. It helps lab-grown cells from ALS patient to produce more energy, but you would need to eat 10 pounds of kale to obtain a working dose. And then it also needs to pass the blood-brain barrier, which is difficult for a large molecule, like kaempferol...

#Clockwork continues to produce the best animated mini-essays in #biochemistry.

This episode is all about the dramatic molecular evacuation and bunkering down procedures that plants need to go through to survive long harsh winters without leaves. The famous colours of autumn leaves belie the intense molecular recycling process that keeps the most precious parts of a tree safe while it winters.

Don't toss/compost your homegrown #PepperLeaves. #Harvest them because they're food. They can be used as herbs substitute if you don't have basil or mints. They can be cooked & eaten. They're nutritious, so start eating your pepper leaves!

Mom had told me that in her matriarch village, our relations grew & harvested #peppers & #leaves for many generations. It's used in many different Asian cultures as both food & medicine.

Healthier hens' eggs, with higher polyphenol (antioxidant) content can be produced by adding grape byproducts to their feed:

MDPIEnriching Eggs with Bioactive Compounds through the Inclusion of Grape Pomace in Laying Hens Diet: Effect on Internal and External Egg Quality Parameters(1) Background: Grapes and their associated by-products (such as grape pomace and GP) stand out for their polyphenol content, which makes them a source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant capacity. The aim of this research was to determine if the inclusion of 50 g/kg of GP in the diet of hens could enrich eggs with antioxidants and to study its effect on internal and external egg quality parameters. (2) Methods: A trial was conducted with two genetic lines of hens, which were fed either a control diet or a diet containing 50 g/kg of GP. Performance, internal and external egg quality, and egg yolk content of vitamins E and A and gallic acid were determined. (3) Results: In eggs laid by hens fed a GP diet, Haugh units and yolk color scores were enhanced, and eggshells became thinner, but without affecting the breaking strength. No dietary effect was observed on the vitamin contents of the yolk. A higher gallic acid content was observed in the yolks of eggs laid by hens fed the GP diet, suggesting that some dietary phenolic compounds could be transferred to the eggs. Hen genetics influenced egg weight, albumen Haugh units, shell thickness, and α- and γ-tocopherol concentration in yolks. (4) Conclusions: Dietary inclusion of GP improved the internal quality of eggs, enriching yolks with a phenolic compound but reducing shell thickness.
