Considering antioxidant supplements as a means to prevent diseases

Abstract

Elevated oxidative stress causes lipids, proteins, and sugars in the body to oxidise, genetic damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and poor antioxidant defense. As well, oxidative stress induces in lammation by elevating active in lammatory factors. It is widely believed that when this vicious cycle is prolonged, it promotes disease conditions, therefore, breaking this cycle of oxidative stress is paramount for preventing the onset of disease.
