Oragold Antioxidant

Antioxidants

Antioxidants are potential scavengers of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that protect biologic membranes against oxidative damage. They are a defense mechanism produced by the body to neutralize the effects of ROS. They can be enzymatic and nonenzymatic. Nonenzymatic sources of antioxidants include vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, Selenium, Zinc, Beta carotene, Lycopene, Taurine, and Glutathione. Enzymatic antioxidants include SOD, Catalase, Glutaredoxinand Glutatathione reductase.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by living organisms as a result of normal cellular metabolism. At low to moderate concentrations, they function in physiological cell processes, but at high concentrations, they produce adverse modifications to cell components, such as lipids, proteins, and DNA.

It is well known that free oxygen radicals play important roles in the pathogenesis of several chronic disorders including cancer, neurological disorders, ischemia/perfusion, hypertension, atherosclerosis,diabetes, acute respiratory distress syndrome, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma.

Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress is a phenomenon caused by an imbalance between production and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells and tissues and the inability of a biological system to detoxify these reactive products.

However, as the body ages, antioxidant levels decline, resulting in a disruption in the balance between antioxidants and prooxidant molecules. This results in the generation of oxidative stress and in turn, overrides the scavenging capacity by antioxidants either due to the diminished availability of antioxidants or excessive generation of ROS. Therefore, supplementation with oral antioxidants may help to alleviate oxidative stress and its contribution to the pathogenesis.
