BHT, or butylated hydroxytoluene, is a man-made antioxidant commonly used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals to counteract oxidative damage and extend product shelf life. Its potential health benefits, particularly in anti-aging and antiviral applications, have been the subject of extensive research.
For decades, studies have investigated BHT's possible advantages in areas such as anti-aging, antiviral activity, hair loss prevention, immune support, anti-cancer properties, gastrointestinal health, eye health, and anti-anxiety/anti-depressant effects.
