Cellular Nutrition and the Oxidative stress concept.

Oxidative stress

In 1956, Professor Denham Harman propounded the famous "free radical theory of ageing." The theory holds that as we age and the oxidative damage the body has sustained over the years takes its toll, the level of oxidative stress itself rises.

That means that oxidative damage increases over the course of a lifetime and advances especially quickly in old age. At that point, we tend to see a prevalence of degenerative diseases, and the most obvious signs of ageing.

Oxidative stress and chronic degenerative diseases

In fact, scientists and doctors now widely agree that oxidative stress figures prominently in atherosclerosis and heart disease, cell transformation and cancer, all kinds of inflammatory conditions, eye problems such as cataracts and macular degeneration, as well as brain and nervous system conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.

Neutralizing free radicals and disease prevention

So how can we try to reduce or prevent free radical damage to the cells?
If oxidative stress increases when antioxidant defenses weaken, or free radical levels rise, it follows that we can decrease oxidative stress by bolstering the body's antioxidant defenses and reducing the amount of free radicals floating around the blood and tissues.

To find out more about herbal defences, please check this product: Rose Ox

RoseOx contains antioxidant properties, and is formulated to scavenge "free radicals" which can occur in the body.

"Free radicals" may be generated by lifestyle factors such as excess dietary fats, cigarette smoke, alcohol consumption, pollutants and stress.
RoseOx also functions as a liver tonic, helping to maintain a healthy digestive function and assists in the improvement of general well-being.
