While physiological concentrations of reactive oxygen species play a fundamental role in many aspects of normal reproduction such as folliculogenesis, oocyte maturation, implantation, and placental development, abnormal or chronic oxidative stress impairs redox homeostasis and promotes mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, DNA damage, and cellular senescence. Recent research interest has shifted toward next-generation dietary antioxidants, including bioactive polyphenols, carotenoids, micronutrients, and nutraceutical combinations with improved bioavailability and molecular targets. These compounds go beyond classical free-radical scavenging activity and modulate a network of redox-sensitive signaling pathways involved in autophagy, apoptosis, endocrine regulation, and immunological balance. In this review, we integrate current mechanistic advances into a cohesive framework that illustrates the regulation of key cellular processes affecting female reproductive physiology by next-generation dietary antioxidants. We also critically evaluate experimental, translational, and clinical data supporting their role in promoting reproductive outcomes, including oocyte quality, ovarian reserve, pregnancy success, and mitigation of age-related reproductive decline. We highlight their potential in the therapeutic intervention of oxidative stress-related conditions such as infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, early ovarian insufficiency, and menopause-associated disorders. Finally, we discuss the current challenges associated with dosage optimization, bioavailability, long-term safety, and interindividual variability. We conclude by highlighting next-generation dietary antioxidants as a promising, widely available, and non-invasive approach to improve women\u2019s reproductive health and promote fertility throughout their lifespan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antiox15030319","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,3]],"date-time":"2026-03-03T15:15:29Z","timestamp":1772550929000},"page":"319","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Next-Generation Dietary Antioxidants in Women\u2019s Reproductive Health: Mechanisms, Reproductive Outcomes, and Therapeutic Potential"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6649-3694","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md Ataur","family":"Rahman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Karmanos Cancer Institute, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI 48201, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maroua","family":"Jalouli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, College of Science, Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU), Riyadh 11623, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Al-Zharani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, College of Science, Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU), Riyadh 11623, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2170-1303","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdel Halim","family":"Harrath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zoology Department, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"80","DOI":"10.1186\/s12958-018-0391-5","article-title":"A novel and compact review on the role of oxidative stress in female reproduction","volume":"16","author":"Lu","year":"2018","journal-title":"Reprod.
