Oxis Advancing Oxidative Stress Technology with Potent Antioxidant Ergothioneine

One of the causes of cell damage is oxidative stress. Certain oxygen and nitogen molecules are highly reactive and can damage cells. They are called reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) molecules.

Normal cell processes handle ROS and RNS molecules, but over production of ROS and RNS exceed the body's natural defense mechanisms. Oxidative damage occurs and can cause cells to fail.

Oxidative stress is also caused by other factors such as pollution, smoke, inflammation, UV light, some drugs and other sources.

Oxidative stress also increases as we age.

One of the major antioxidant enzymes that protect cells is glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Oxis has an oral compound that mimics glutathione peroxidase.
