Oxidative Stress Load Management

Meaning

Oxidative Stress Load Management is the clinical strategy focused on reducing the cumulative burden of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) while simultaneously enhancing the body’s endogenous antioxidant defense systems. Oxidative stress occurs when the production of these free radicals overwhelms the cellular capacity to neutralize them, leading to damage to DNA, proteins, and lipids. Effective management is paramount for protecting endocrine tissues and preventing the accelerated cellular aging driven by chronic free radical damage.
