Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding the bioavailability of antioxidants is pivotal to translating their biochemical potential into tangible health benefits. Bioavailability determines the extent to which antioxidants reach systemic circulation and exert biological effects, yet it is influenced by a multitude of factors, including molecular structure, food matrix interactions, host metabolism, and microbiota composition. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality contributions that elucidate the determinants and consequences of antioxidant bioavailability through the lens of omics sciences—metabolomics, nutrigenomics, proteomics, and metagenomics—and their integration with physiological and clinical data. Acknowledged submissions should address comprehensive reviews and research articles focused on innovative methodologies to assess antioxidant absorption and metabolism, the role of gut microbiota in modulating bioactivity, and systems biology approaches that connect molecular pathways with functional outcomes in health and disease. Studies exploring novel delivery technologies, personalized nutrition strategies, and the impact of dietary patterns or food processing on antioxidant bioefficacy are particularly welcome. By bridging mechanistic omics data with clinical and population-level findings, this Special Issue seeks to deepen our understanding of how bioavailable antioxidants contribute to health promotion, disease prevention, and therapeutic applications. Researchers from diverse fields are invited to contribute to this interdisciplinary forum, advancing the science of antioxidants from bench to bedside.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
