Oxidant

I remember learning about oxidizing at university. As you would guess, it is something that oxygen does. Oxygen would love to get a couple of extra electrons to give it a full shell, so it is rather good at taking them off other atoms.

But it is not just oxygen that oxidizes. The Halogen gasses are rather good at it, and an free radical (something that has an unpaired electron sitting rather uncomfortably on its outer electron shell) can rip an electron off some poor unsuspecting molecule.

There's a theory that this oxidizing effect is the thing that causes us to age. Our cells and DNA are constantly attacked in this way and eventually it leads to degradation.

That is why anti-oxidants are an important thing for our health. Have a look at http://www.oxis.com the website for the Advancing Oxidative Stress Technology Oxis International, Inc. (OTCBB: OXIS). I have been reading abut their antioxidant, Ergothioneine.

You may have heard of Ergothioneine, you may have heard of glutathione, but the important thing is that such antioxidants are linked to Anti aging. Have a look at the penny stocks on their site.
