Findings
This review examined pineapple and moringa in fruit fly models—organisms commonly used to test anti-aging ingredients because their aging process mirrors humans'. Both plants showed antioxidant activity in the research, with pineapple's bromelain specifically noted for wound healing and anti-inflammatory effects, while pineapple's vitamin C content acts as an antioxidant. However, the abstract doesn't provide specific efficacy data or human skin study results.
