biological activity | Homovanillyl alcohol are biological metabolites of hydroxytyrosol. Hydroxytyrosol is a phenolic compound found in original olive oil (VOO) and wine. Homovanillyl alcohol can protect red blood cells (RBCs) from oxidative damage and have a protective effect on cardiovascular diseases. |
