🔬 Scientific Literature

“Our results show for the first time that Vanillin and Cinnemaldehyde are antimutagenic against spontaneous mutations in mammalian (human) cells. These and other data lead us to propose that VAN and CIN may induce DNA damage that elicits recombinational DNA repair, which reduces spontaneous mutations (King et al., 2007)”
