Beta-carotene (Provitamin A) is A class of carotenoid compounds that are naturally occurring precursors of vitamin A. Beta-carotene is a ROS regulator with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. β -carotene can be either an antioxidant or a pro-oxidant, depending on its intrinsic properties and the REDOX potential of the biological environment it acts on. β -carotene can induce apoptosis of breast cancer cells and has anti-cancer activity.

| Arachidonic acid sodium salt
Arachidonic acid sodium salt (Sodium Arachidonate) is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid and a major constituent of biomembranes. Arachidonic acid sodium salt also acts as the substrate for various lipid mediators, such as prostaglandins (PGs). |
| trans-Vaccenic acid
trans-Vaccenic acid is a naturally occurring trans fatty acid (TFA). trans-Vaccenic acid is a precursor for the synthesis of saturated fatty acid in the rumen and of conjugated Linoleic acid (CLA) at the tissue level. trans-Vaccenic acid inhibits nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell growth and induces apoptosis through the inhibition of Bad/Akt phosphorylation. |
| Mead acid
Mead acid (5,8,11-Eicosatrienoic acid) is an unsaturated (Omega-9) fatty acid. |
