Do I Have Oxidative Stress?

As long as you are breathing, oxidation is taking place. The process of oxidation is an essential chemical reaction that happens when free radicals form within our cells. Essentially, oxidative stress is “… an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body which leads to cell and tissue damage.” (1) When our oxidative stress levels are too high, our cells and genes are being destroyed by an unhealthy amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals.
