Top 6 Supplements for Balancing Oxidative Stress Oxidative stress is cellular stress that in many situations can be both prevented and remedied through diet and supplements. In oxidative stress, for example, various phospholipids are released from the cell membranes of red cells (erythrocytes) – therefore, the adequate intake of phospholipids either from food or supplements is essential in repairing the damage. Similar changes are observed especially in glial cells. Indeed, oxidative stress of the brain is one of the cellular phenomena that predispose to various stress-related neurological disorders. Generally, oxidized phospholipids and the cell damage they create can predispose to several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases....
Molecular Hydrogen – Benefits for Health and Performance Molecular hydrogen (H2 or MH) is the most lightweight gas and the lightest and most abundant chemical element. It can act as an antioxidant by suppressing free radical chain reactions, thereby reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The therapeutic application of H2 as a free radical catalyzer was first documented in the 1970s. It was hypothesized that the underlying mechanism was through hydroxyl radicals scavenging by exothermic reaction (a chemical reaction in which less energy is needed to break bonds in the reactants than is released when new bonds form in the products) of H2 + ·OH = H2O...
