How it works

Oxidative stress is an imbalance between the free-radicals that are being produced and our antioxidant defense system that protects you against these free radicals. It is when we just don't have enough antioxidants in our system to neutralise all the free radicals that are being produced.

This long-term condition is very clearly known now, in the scientific literature, to cause cellular damage.

Chronic states of oxidative stress damages our DNA, our cell membranes and proteins and has consequences to your overall health. Oxidative stress exists as part of disease. Chronic inflammation is part of the long-standing effects of chronic oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is likely to be involved in a good majority of all diseases.

The whole premise is that if you can reduce oxidative stress then it should support your health.

Oxidative stress has been associated with more than 74 major diseases and disorders.

"The fact of the matter is, inflammation is a process that goes on day to day in your body. Diseases of aging are to a large extent inflammatory, or have an inflammatory component"

Dr Rober Keller, MD, MS, FACP, AAHIVS

"There is very good data in the literature to say that oxidation is really responsible for accelerated aging."

Dr Doug Harrington

As we age our glutathione levels fall causing an increase in oxidative stress and inflammation. This arises from the disparity between our glutathione levels and the free radicals we are exposed to. Free radicals originate from the normal by products of metabolic processes, environmental toxins/pollutants, certain medications, UV radiation and other lifestyle choices.

[our glutathione levels] were up to an optimal level"
