CyanthOx™ is OUR strongest water-soluble antioxidant
According to Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) analysis†, CyanthOx™ has an ORAC value of 895,281 μmol TE/100g (Puredia Corporation Limited, 2019).
By comparison, CyanthOx™ is 8 times stronger than grape seed extract (Superfoodly.com, 2019) and 1.7 times more potent than french pine bark extract (Legault et al., 2013).*

CyanthOx™ MAY increase SOD, GSH and lowers MDA*
Design: Randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 106 participants aged from 45 - 65 years old.
Serving Size: Oral intake of 4 x 0.65g of sea buckthorn capsules (6.5% sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins and 16% Omega 3 (ALA)) or placebo per day for 90 days.
Result:
Significant increase in SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) by 11% and GSH (Glutathione) by 4%
Significant reduction in MDA (Malondialdehyde) by 15%
SOD
GSH
MDA
Conclusion: 169mg sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins per day may increase SOD, GSH and lowers MDA.*
(Zou et al., 2010)
CyanthOx™ is 2.7 times stronger than grape seed extract*
Design: Randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 120 participants aged from 45 - 65 years old.
Dosage: Oral intake of 2 x 0.5g of grape seed extract capsule (10% proanthocyanidins) or placebo per day for 90 days.
Result:
Increase in SOD by 2.3% and GSH by 2.4%
Decrease in MDA by 4.8%
Comparison between sea buckthorn and grape seed proanthocyanidins
Conclusion: Sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins is 2.7 times more effective in increasing SOD and 1.8 times more effective in reducing MDA than grape seed proanthocyanidins.*
(Gao et al., 2010)
CyanthOx™ inhibits oxidation better than grape seed extract*
Design: The antioxidant activities of 92% sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins (SBOPC) and 95% grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSOPC) were analyzed by four assays:
Superoxide anion radical (O₂⁻) assay
Hydroxyl radical (HO) assay
Inhibition of lipid peroxidation assay
2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay
Result:
O₂⁻ assay:
EC₅₀ for SBOPC is 23.95μg/mL
EC₅₀ for GSOPC is 107.63μg/mL
HO assay:
The rate constant of reaction for SBOPC is 1.355×10⁹L/g.s
The rate constant of reaction for GSOPC is 1.687×10⁸L/g.s
Inhibition of lipid peroxidation assay:
Conclusion: Sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins is 4.5 times more effective at quenching superoxide anion radical (O₂⁻) and 8 times more effective at quenching hydroxyl radical (HO), and inhibition of lipid peroxidation than grape seed proanthocyanidins.*
