Oxidative stress
Oxidation is a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals, thus leading to chain reactions that can damage the cells of organisms. Oxidative stress occurs in the body when there are too many free radicals. Oxidative stress is associated with damage to proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or vitamin E, can protect against cell damage (oxidative stress) caused by free radicals.
Activities and processes that may lead to oxidative stress include mitochondrial activity, trauma due to inflammation and injuries, consumption of certain foods, especially refined and processed foods, trans fats, artificial sweeteners and certain dyes and additives, smoking, polluted environment, exposure to chemicals, such as pesticides and medicinal products.
Oxidative stress plays a role in the development of many conditions, including cardiovascular disorders, certain types of cancer, alcoholism, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ulcers, and inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and lupus.
Symptoms of oxidative stress include fatigue, headaches, sensitivity to noise, loss of memory and brain fog, muscle and joint pain, wrinkles, vision problems, and decreased immunity.
Vitamin C is the primary antioxidant in the body and has the role of neutralizing free radicals. One sachet of ProHumano+ ArtroDinamic contains 80 mg of vitamin C, which is 100% of the recommended daily dose.

Osteoarthritis does not stop you from keeping up with your loved ones
Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic joint condition. It is a degenerative condition that manifests mainly in the elderly, but it can also appear as a result of a joint injury or infection.
Osteoarthritis (also called arthritis) can affect any joint. However, the most commonly affected areas of the body are the joints that support more weight, such as the joints of the knee, hip, and spine, but also the hands (finger joints).
