Oxidative Stress occurs when there is an dramatic increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body is unable to break them down efficiently into harmless molecules. At healthy concentrations ROS play a significant role in numerous physiological events such as mounting a proper immune response to invading microbes. However, excessive ROS are speculated to be involved in numerous chronic disease pathologies such as aging, cancer, diabetes, or Alzheimer’s Disease for example.
