Excess ROS can be eliminated, and its detrimental repercussions avoided by combining endogenous and exogenous antioxidants.

For example, algal biomass and extracts can be directly consumed or their purified metabolites can be used as antioxidants. Furthermore, some exogenous antioxidant molecules can be synthesized only by algae but not by other organisms. Antioxidant molecules derived from algae, include a variety of polysaccharides, pigments (carotenoids, phycobiliproteins etc), mycosporins-like amino acids, phytosterols, phenolic compounds (phenolic acids, bromophenols, phlorotannins, flavonoids etc), fatty acids, and alkaloids. They exhibit potent antioxidant activities confirmed by <em>in vitro</em> scavenging assays (DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl, superoxide, hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide radicals) and/or by reducing or chelating metal ions. In addition, algal-derived antioxidants have also been tested in <em>in vivo</em> models and have demonstrated high antioxidant activities achieved by upregulation of antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase) and inhibition of lipid peroxidation.
