Oxidative Stress, is a chemical imbalance in the production of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability of readily detoxifying the reactive intermediates. These kind of disturbances in the normal redox state can cause toxic effects through the production of preoxides and free redicals that damage all important components of a cell which may lead to the death of the cell. Oxidative stress is involved in many diseases like Parkinson's disease, heart failure and et. al.
Though Oxidative stress is not always bad. Short Oxidative Stress can prevent or slow down aging and also helps immune system to kill pathogen.
Oxis International is involved in research, development and selling of products rich in antioxidant, Ergothioneine which slows or prevent the oxidation of molecules, hence, reducing the production free radicals.
Oxis International's patented synthetic manufacturing process remains the only significant commercial source of pure l-ergothioneine worldwide.
