In fact, a test-tube study showed that it was 15 times more powerful in fighting oxidative stress than Trolox, a synthetic form of vitamin E commonly used to prevent damage caused by oxidative stress Some test-tube studies indicate that DHMBA from oysters may be of particular benefit to liver health.
For example, one test-tube study demonstrated that it protected human liver cells from damage and cell death caused by induced oxidative stress Scientists are hopeful that DHMBA may be useful in preventing or treating liver diseases in the future, but research is limited to test-tube studies at this time Oxidation of cholesterol is a chemical reaction linked to atherosclerosis plaque buildup in your arteries , a major risk factor for heart disease 26 , Though these results are promising, more research is needed to determine whether DHMBA would be effective in fighting oxidative stress in humans.
DHMBA is a powerful antioxidant in oysters. It may help fight oxidative damage, benefiting liver and heart health. Still, research is currently limited to test-tube studies. Vibrio bacteria — including Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus — can be concentrated in filter-feeding shellfish. Eating them raw can increase your risk of exposure.
