Abstract
This paper reviews the potential role of honey as a therapeutic antioxidant to reduce oxidative
stress and improve cognitive ageing. All articles indexed to PubMed Central (PMC) were searched using
the following key words: honey, antioxidant, memory and ageing. Honey is a natural insect-derived
product with therapeutic, medicinal and nutritional values. Antioxidant properties of honey quench
biologically-circulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and counter oxidative stress while restoring the
cellular antioxidant defense system. Antioxidant properties of honey may complement its nootropic
effects to reduce cognitive ageing.
