What is Oxidation?
Oxidation is a normal and necessary process that takes place in your body. When functioning properly, free radicals can help fight off pathogens. Pathogens lead to infection.
What is Oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress is a phenomenon caused by an imbalance between production and accumulation of oxygen reactive species (ROS) in cells and tissues and the ability of a biological system to detoxify these reactive products.
Free radicals are unstable molecules that have lost an electron as a result of either normal body processes such as metabolism or exercise-related reactions, or from external sources such as cigarette smoke, pollutants, radiation, lifestyle, pesticides, the environment, chronic stress, etc. When free radicals in the body cause oxidative stress, the cells and tissues begin to deteriorate. If it lives long enough and is intense enough, it can cause disease that may otherwise be delayed and/or prevented. Because of the type of fat (polyunsaturated) in their membrane, immune cells are particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress. As a result, high levels of oxidative stress over time can be especially damaging to the immune system.
Effects of oxidative stress on the body:
The free radicals can start doing damage to fatty tissue, DNA and proteins in body. So damage can lead to a vast number of diseases over time.
These include:
• Male & Female Infertility
• Aging
• Hairs and skin damage
• Diabetes
• Atherosclerosis (hardening of the blood vessels)
• Inflammatory conditions
• High blood pressure
• Heart diseases
• Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
• Cancer
What are Antioxidants?
The word’s roots are anti (to oppose) and oxidant (oxidizing agent). Antioxidants work to prevent or postpone the oxidation of our bodies and all of their cells. They are molecules that protect the body and the immune system from oxidative stress. Antioxidants are said to help neutralize free radicals in our bodies and this is thought to boost overall health.
Well known antioxidants include enzymes and other substances such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Beta Carotene, which are capable of counteracting the damaging effects of oxidation.
What causes hair damage?
The natural hair cycle is affected by two types of triggers.
1. Internal Triggers:
Which include the natural aging process, DHT (dihydrotestosterone), cortisol hormone (stress hormone), and a poor diet.
2. External Triggers:
External factors include excessive hair styling, UV exposure, pollution, and excessive exercise.
Role of antioxidants in hair damage:
Antioxidants aid in hair growth by preserving collagen in the body or the connective tissues of hair follicles increase blood circulation and nutrient supply to scalp cells, which promotes hair growth.
It also helps to reduce frizz and calm split ends.
Antioxidants protect the cuticles against sun damage.
It promotes hair growth in cases of alopecia (a type of hair loss).
It also keeps your hair from turning grey prematurely prevent melanin destruction in the cortex of our hair strands, improving color retention and hair integrity.
Antioxidants have anti-aging properties:
Oxidative stress is a major factor responsible for skin aging. Antioxidants safeguard the skin’s cells from oxidative stress by trying to stabilize free radicals, promoting healthy skin cells, and allowing for cell renewal. Restore natural collagen and elasticity, prevents wrinkles and fine lines.
Antioxidants controlling hyperpigmentation:
Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant, inhibits the enzyme tyrosine, which is responsible for the production of melanin, reducing dark spots and hyperpigmentation for a balanced and bright complexion.
