Abstract:
The human immune system uses the final products of oxidative stress to protect the human body from bacterial or virus infections. However, an excess of oxidative stress is closely related to almost all diseases such as cancer, dementia/ Alzheimer’s disease, sleep apnea, reproductive and intestinal irregularities as well as aging. These pathologies are caused by free radical species that are results of the effect of transition metals, ischemia/reperfusion, drugs, inflammation, and environmental factors such as iron. As such, controlling the oxidative stress is of extreme importance to prevent the above diseases in healthy persons or treat them on persons that currently suffer from these diseases. This presentation makes a description of oxidative stress and its proven relation with various diseases and gives different methods of controlling it through antioxidative agents. The results of using a particularly strong antioxidant named Twendee X consisting of vitamins and a complex of amino acids as a possibility to prevent or treat the above mentioned diseases are also presented as an example.
