Current evidence supports a significant association between fruit and vegetable
intake and health. In this study, we assessed the effect of consuming a
vegetable-soup "gazpacho" on vitamin C and biomarkers of oxidative stress and
inflammation in a healthy human population. We also examined the association
between vitamin C and F(2)-isoprostanes (8-epiPGF(2alpha)), uric acid (UA),
prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and the
cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1beta
(IL-1beta), and IL-6. Gazpacho is a Mediterranean dish defined as a
ready-to-use vegetable soup, containing approximately 80% crude vegetables rich
in vitamin C. Subjects (6 men, 6 women) enrolled in this study consumed 500
mL/d of gazpacho corresponding to an intake of 72 mg of vitamin C. On d 1,
subjects consumed the gazpacho in one dose; from d 2 until the end of the
study, d 14, 250 mL was consumed in the morning and 250 mL in the afternoon.
Blood was collected before drinking the soup (baseline) and on d 7 and 14.
Baseline plasma vitamin C concentrations did not differ between men and women
(P = 0.060). Compared with baseline, the vitamin C concentration was
significantly higher on d 7 and 14 of the intervention in both men and women (P
< 0.05). Baseline plasma levels of UA and F(2)-isoprostanes were higher (P
0.002) in men than in women. The F(2)-isoprostanes decreased on d 14 in men and
women (P
vitamin C and 8-epiPGF(2alpha) were inversely correlated (r = -0.585, P =
0.0002). Plasma PGE(2) and MCP-1 concentrations decreased in men and women (P
Consumption of the vegetable soup decreases oxidative stress and biomarkers of
inflammation, which indicates that the protective effect of vegetables may
extend beyond their antioxidant capacity.

which contains the active ingredient GAMMA AMINOBUTYRIC ACID. After 14 days
at 2 capsules per night, I got back my period. Amazing. On top of that my
arthritis pain is almost gone."
