Oxidative+Stress+Analysis

=Oxidative Stress can cause cellular damage=

Treatment:
There is a specific device that is designed to improve cellular act ivies by improving the body’s response to oxidative stress. Eng3 created the device and it is called the NanoVi.

Benefits to the NanoVi
There are many benefits to using the NanoVi for prevention and treatment. First, the device helps to protect against free radical damage. If there is any damage, the device will work to repair that damage. The NanoVi helps to balance oxidation levels, which helps to improve immunity. Since cellular activity is improved, there is also improved utilization of oxygen and nutrients, improved cell energy production, and improved cell metabolism.

How the NanoVi works
Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable molecules. However, free radicals are found naturally in our body from cell metabolism and oxygen consumption. The production of free radicals can increase via exposure to toxins or stress. Free radicals can impact the body by damaging proteins, cells, and DNA. Free radicals can react with anti-oxidants and be neutralized. Lastly, free radicals can initiate an oxidative response which causes cellular damage specifically. The NanoVi triggers an oxidative response which helps to reverse any stress damage that was caused by the free radicals.

Reactive Oxygen Species:
Aerobic organisms require energy to complete biological functions. The energy is produced by the mitochondria using the electron transport chain. Any reactive oxygen species that are present can cause damage to DNA, RNA, and proteins in the cell. Hydrogen Peroxide is the most dangerous ROS that leaks from the mitochondria. The diagram above shoes the major cellular sources of reactive oxygen species in living cells.

Antioxidants:
A natural defense mechanism produced by the body agains free radicals are antioxidants. An antioxidant specifically inhibits the oxidation of other molecules. Antioxidants are enzymes that are responsible for the removal of organic hydroperoxides that can cause damage to the cell.
