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.


http://www.oxis.com Oxis International is advancing oxidative stress technology, which provides anti aging through the reduction of free radical molecules in the body.

Oxis International, Inc. can be found in the penny stocks at OTCBB: OXIS.

Oxis is the premiere provider of the potent antioxidant Ergothioneine and only significant commercial source of pure l-ergothioneine worldwide due to their patented manufacturing process.

From the Oxis website.

"Oxis has several therapeutic compounds that are available to be licensed including anti-inflammatory and several therapeutic antioxidant mimics with potential applications in the treatment of neurodegenerative (Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s), cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other conditions."

N-Viro converts wastewater sludge into biomineral agricultural products

http://www.nviro.com

Pollution is often just something in the wrong place at the wrong time. With the right kind of alchemy garbage can be turned into gold.

N-Viro International Corporation converts waste to energy.

Here is some technical mumbo jumbo describing how that process works from their website.

The N-Viro technologies involve the mixing of municipal bio solids with specific alkaline waste products from the coal combustion electric generation (making clean coal), cement and lime industries. This process stabilizes organic waste thru pasteurization and complete disinfection.

Our suite of green technologies complement each other and build upon a unique concept transforming waste products into a beneficial fertilizer or ultimately creating N-Viro Fuel a renewable alternative energy fuel perfectly synergistic with the coal combustion industry.

N-Viro develops and licenses its technology to municipalities and private companies. Their patented processes use lime and/or mineral-rich, combustion byproducts to treat, pasteurize, immobilize and convert wastewater sludge and other bio-organic wastes into biomineral agricultural and soil-enrichment products with real market value.

The company has generated sales in excess of $40 million dollars, since its initial public offering in October of 1993, which was underwritten by Robertson Stephens, Raymond James, Oppenheimer & Co., and Paine Webber.

They are active in Florida and have taken over the Volusia County facility in Daytona, which processes solids into soil from many places in Central Florida.
