Oxidative Stress Protection

Meaning

Oxidative stress protection is the comprehensive biological defense strategy employed by the body to neutralize and mitigate the damaging effects caused by an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), collectively known as free radicals. This protection is crucial because unmitigated oxidative stress can damage cellular components, including DNA, proteins, and lipids, thereby accelerating cellular aging and contributing to the pathogenesis of numerous chronic diseases. It is a fundamental component of cellular longevity and health.
