Used in skincare formulations for its antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage, including UV radiation and pollution. Shows potential in reducing inflammation, supporting skin brightening by inhibiting melanin production, and anti-aging effects. Also investigated for its neuroprotective effects in research settings, particularly in models of neurodegenerative diseases. May serve as a biomarker in metabolic studies due to its presence in human biofluids.
