Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to novel formulations and combinations of lipophilic and hydrophilic antioxidants and the use thereof in the therapeutic, foodstuff, dietetic, and cosmetic fields. These formulations are based on the use of carotenoids, procarotenoids and derivatives thereof with polyphenols of catechic and flavanolignane structures. Said formulations, containing a lipophilic antioxidant and an hydrophilic one at fixed ratios, can be used in the prevention of physiopatological conditions related at least partially to an over-production of free radicals, particularly aging, atherosclerosis and cancer.
