Oxidative Stress Reduction

Meaning

The physiological process of mitigating the damaging effects caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body’s capacity to detoxify these reactive intermediates or repair the resulting damage. Clinically, strategies for reduction are crucial for slowing cellular aging, protecting DNA integrity, and preserving hormonal receptor sensitivity, which is often compromised by chronic oxidative damage. It is a core pillar of longevity medicine.
