Maintaining a healthy immune system came to the forefront of people's minds as SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) was introduced. Antioxidants contained in dark berries have been shown to support the physical wellbeing of otherwise healthy adults. Adding a supplement rich in dark berries and citrus essential oils contributes antioxidants to the body and serves as an aid to reduce free radicals.
We evaluated the effects of an antioxidant rich supplement on immune health and overall physical wellbeing compared to a control group.
Participants were otherwise healthy adults, aged 18-60 years old, and were placed in either the antioxidant supplement group or control group using adaptive randomization. Data was collected at day 1 and 60. The Physical Health Questionnaire was used to measure the primary outcomes of this study. The immune health was reflected through the Jackson Symptom Scale.
155 participants were analyzed. Participants who consumed the antioxidant beverage saw improvements to overall health which dramatically exceeded those of the control group. The sleep domain produced improvements which represented disturbances in sleep habits as they pertain to general health. Those in the supplement group who reported illness, had illnesses lasting 1-2 days while those in the control group had illnesses lasting from 1 to 9 days.
Length of illness was shorter and sleep duration improved in the supplement group compared to the control group. Daily consumption of 60 ml of the antioxidant drink NingXia RedⓇ showed significant improvement after 60 days.
随着严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2，即新冠病毒）的出现，维持健康的免疫系统成为人们关注的焦点。深色浆果中含有的抗氧化剂已被证明有助于健康成年人的身体健康。添加富含深色浆果和柑橘精油的补充剂可为身体提供抗氧化剂，并有助于减少自由基。
与对照组相比，我们评估了富含抗氧化剂的补充剂对免疫健康和整体身体健康的影响。
参与者为18至60岁的健康成年人，采用适应性随机分组法将其分为抗氧化剂补充剂组或对照组。在第1天和第60天收集数据。使用身体健康问卷来测量本研究的主要结果。免疫健康通过杰克逊症状量表来反映。
对155名参与者进行了分析。饮用抗氧化剂饮料的参与者在整体健康方面的改善显著超过对照组。睡眠领域的改善体现为与总体健康相关的睡眠习惯紊乱情况有所改善。补充剂组中报告患病的参与者，患病时长为1至2天，而对照组中患病的参与者，患病时长为1至9天。
与对照组相比，补充剂组的患病时长更短，睡眠时间有所改善。每天饮用60毫升抗氧化剂饮料宁夏红Ⓡ，60天后有显著改善。
