Free radicals are formed during the body's normal metabolic processes, but they can be harmful if they are produced in excessive amounts, or if those particular substances with antioxidant action, often referred to as "anti-free radicals," which are the natural defense against free radicals, are lacking.
Disruption of the normal physiological balance is termed "oxidative stress" and is a health risk factor involved in both aging and various conditions of tissue suffering.
Very sensitive to free radical damage are the blood vessels, arterial and venous, which are subjected to very substantial mechanical and metabolic stresses.
The endothelium is most compromised, and this damage is most evident at the level of the microcirculation.
In peripheral vestibular disorders of a chronic and recurrent nature, oxidative stress plays an important role in the onset of the disease process and the recurrence of seizures; the cascade reactions of inflammation are also involved.
Stenovit VIS is a dietary food supplement useful for supporting the physiological function of microcirculation. Its original formulation includes a pool of substances characterized by antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity:
Vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and selenium contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C contributes to collagen formation for normal blood vessel function.
Vitamin B6 and vitamin C help reduce fatigue and tiredness. Vitamin B6 also contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.
Vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, zinc and selenium support normal immune system function.
The formulation is also enriched by the presence of L-cysteine, coenzyme Q10, beta-carotene and orange bioflavonoids.
