Oxidative stress of the body is a consequence of poor ecology, love of fast food and hassle. If not dealt with, it will lead to various diseases and premature aging.

What is oxidative stress?

Oxidative stress is a condition in which there are too many free radicals in the body - molecules without one electron. Such molecules start a chain reaction that disrupts the integrity of cells, leading to their damage or death.

There are 100 trillion cells in our body. Every minute 300 million cells are destroyed by oxidative stress.

Where do free radicals come from?

Free radicals are constantly generated in a healthy body. They participate in Review: Free radicals, antioxidants, and the immune system in the fight against bacteria and mutating cells, so they are essential for immunity.

However, under the influence of harmful factors Free Radicals, Antioxidants in Disease and Health: bad ecology, medication, tobacco smoke, stress or intense physical activity - there are too many free radicals, and they begin to harm the body, destroying cells.

What is the threat of oxidative stress?

Oxidative stress provokes the development of many serious diseases, including cancer, stroke, type 2 diabetes, negatively affects Oxidative Stress and the Aging Brain: From Theory to Prevention on brain function: damages Oxidative Stress and Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Review of Upstream and Downstream Antioxidant Therapeutic Options neurons, especially sensitive to the effects of free radicals.

Oxidative stress is associated with Specific correlations between muscle oxidative stress and chronic fatigue syndrome: a working hypothesis with chronic fatigue syndrome. People with this disease constantly feel lethargic and sleepy, it is difficult for them to concentrate, their mood often deteriorates, everything is annoying for no particular reason. Oxidative stress is also seen in depression Oxidative Stress and Psychological Disorders and anxiety disorders.

Free radicals also negatively affect the reproductive function of the body. They damage Reactive oxygen species as mediators of sperm capacitation and pathological damage to the genetic material embedded in sperm. If more than 30% of the sperm have DNA damage, the man will not be able to become a father.

How do I know if I have oxidative stress?

There are several signs:

• The presence of the above diseases and disorders.
• Constant tiredness.
• Decreased concentration.
• The appearance of wrinkles and gray hair.
• Deterioration of vision.
• Headaches and sensitivity to noise.
• Susceptibility to infections.

Can you protect yourself from oxidative stress?

Yes, with the help of antioxidants - substances that neutralize the action of free radicals. Our body itself produces antioxidants and receives them from food. The table below lists antioxidant-rich foods.

Vitamin C	Rose hips, black currant, sea buckthorn, red bell pepper, parsley
Vitamin E	Vegetable oils, nuts
Beta carotene	Carrots, sea buckthorn, sorrel, parsley
Lycopene	Rosehip, grapefruit, tomatoes and tomato paste, watermelon
Coenzyme Q10	Beef, herring, peanuts, sesame seeds, pistachios
Flavonoids	Green tea, grapes, apples, cocoa, soy, turmeric, berries, broccoli

So eating a healthy diet will protect you from oxidative stress?

Yes, if you live in an ecologically clean area without exhaust gases and industrial fumes, do not smoke actively or passively, do not undergo stress and protect your skin well from ultraviolet radiation. Unfortunately, these are impracticable conditions for most city dwellers.

In addition, some antioxidants are difficult to get enough from food. For example, to meet the daily requirement for coenzyme Q10 (30 mg), you need to eat 760 g of beef liver or 1 kg of peanuts per day, which is practically impossible.

So how do you deal with oxidative stress?

With the help of dietary supplements that contain the required amount of antioxidants.

Studies have shown that antioxidant supplements strengthen the immune system Effects of antioxidants on immune system aging, help fight inflammation, energize, and reduce Complex Therapy for Idiopathic Infertility. Pharmateca. To the Moscow urological school. Special issue. P.68-71 oxidative stress of reproductive organs.

A good example of such a supplement is the Synergin antioxidant complex.

What does this complex include?

Synergin includes six antioxidants:

Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone, Coenzyme Q10)	A powerful natural antioxidant that every living cell needs. Improves the Role of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in cardiac disease, hypertension and Meniere-like syndrome work of the cardiovascular system, lowers Blood pressure lowering efficacy of coenzyme Q10 for primary hypertension, reduces Plasma coenzyme Q10 levels and postmenopausal breast cancer risk: the multiethnic cohort study breast cancer risk, reproductive health benefits.	30	45
Lycopene	Reduces Lycopene in the prevention of prostate cancer the likelihood of prostate neoplasms, improves Effects of Oral Lycopene Supplementation on Vascular Function in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease and Healthy Volunteers: A Randomized Controlled Trial work of the cardiovascular system and skin health Antioxidant supplements improve parameters related to skin structure in humans, supports Immunity and antioxidant capacity in humans is enhanced by consumption of a dried, encapsulated fruit and vegetable juice concentrate immunity.	5	5
Beta-carotene (β-carotene)	Protects Carotenoids may protect telomeres and delay cell aging cells from aging, eliminates Beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin improve symptoms of depression, positively influences Dietary patterns, foods and nutrients in male fertility parameters and fecundability: a systematic review of observational studies on male fertility, Supports Beta-carotene and carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin keep the brain healthy brain health.	5	5
Rutin (as rutoside, vitamin P, sophorin)	Protects Protective effect of rutin on the antioxidant genes expression in hypercholestrolemic male Westar rat liver, has anti-inflammatory Anti-inflammatory properties of plant flavonoids. Effects of rutin, quercetin and hesperidin on adjuvant arthritis in rat. effect, prevents the formation of blood clots Protein disulfide isomerase inhibitors constitute a new class of antithrombotic agents.	30	30
Vitamin E	Reduces Drugs and Supplements. Vitamin E the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease Vitamin E protects the heart. Reduces Effect of vitamin E supplementation on serum C-reactive protein level: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. inflammation and improves Antioxidants for healthier skin skin condition.	10	15
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)	Supports immunity. Together with vitamin E, it reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Impressive research on the powers of vitamin C, including stroke Vitamin C lowers chances of stroke. Improves mood Effects of vitamin C and vitamin D administration on mood and distress in acutely hospitalized patients.	60	180
