Oxidative Stress and Antioxidants
Elderberries are known as “Nature’s Medicine Chest” for their diversity of health benefits including their antioxidant rich properties.
Wondering why are antioxidants important? If you feel fatigued, experience brain fog, joint pain, headaches, poor immune function, and digestive disorders it may be signs of oxidative stress and stored toxins.

Signs & Symptoms of Oxidative Stress
WHAT IS OXIDATION?
The process of oxidation happens as our body metabolizes the oxygen that we breathe, and our cells produce energy (glucose) from it. This process also produces free radicals –molecules that interact with the molecules within our cells resulting in damage (or stress) to nearby cells. Oxidation also occurs when the immune system is fighting off an infection and creating inflammation and when exposed to pollutants, pesticides, and smoke. It also increases when we are physically and/or emotionally stressed.
In fact, there are millions of processes taking place in our body at any one moment that can result in oxidation.
WHAT IS OXIDATIVE STRESS?
Free radicals are normal and necessary to some degree. In addition to causing some damage, they also stimulate repair. It is only when too many free radicals are produced, that they overwhelm the repair processes and become unhealthy. That is what we call oxidative stress.
SIGNS OF OXIDATIVE STRESS
Oxidative stress can cause:
1. Fatigue, always feel tired?
2. Memory loss and/or brain fog
3. Muscle and/or joint pain
4. Wrinkles and grey hair
5. Decreased eyesight
6. Headaches and sensitivity to noise
7. Poor immune function
8. Digestive disorders

Potential sources of free radicals in our environment include cigarette smoke, air pollution, excessive sun exposure, industrial chemicals, radiation and pesticides.
Talk to your holistic practitioner about supporting supplements for liver health and consider healthier toxic free alternatives to household cleaners, perfumes, candles, and personal care products. Cumulative exposure to free radicals from these types of sources can lead to cell and tissue damage caused by oxidative stress.
