8/19/2019: The question arises as how can protocatechuate (a.k.a. protocatechuic acid or PCA) have so many health benefits. The answer is very simple.
Health: The common denominator for Health is control of reactive oxygen species or free radicals. PCA is a powerful anti-oxidant, 10X more powerful than Vitamin E.
Disease: The common denominator underlying most diseases is now recognized to be inflammation. PCA is a powerful anti-inflammatory reagent.
Coupling the two properties of PCA, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory explains why there is such a broad array of conditions the literature has identified as benefiting from this phytochemical.
Medical Literature: The medial literature documents the health benefits of PCA. We have chosen the adjective of “Broad Spectrum” anti-oxidant because of the many applications documented in the published following medical literature.
