Oxidation is a natural by-product of metabolic processes and, when left unchecked, can result in damage to important biomolecules within the body. The rate of oxidation increases gradually throughout the aging process as well as during times of stress and disease. Once the cells are compromised, animals may be vulnerable to threats to their immune systems.
Join Dr. Rebecca Delles, a research scientist at the Alltech North American Bioscience Center, as she discusses intervening with specific nutrients and using other novel approaches in the diet to alleviate issues that can arise from oxidation and poor nutrient utilization.
