Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc. (TNS) (OTCBB:TNUS), announced today that it has filed a Provisional Use Patent application on the ability of a proprietary natural organic mushroom formula to control oxidative stress. Oxidative or inflammatory stress is caused by the release of free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cells and tissues of the body. Healthy cells and tissues normally neutralize ROS in order to stay alive. When production of ROS overwhelms the body’s normal defense mechanisms, oxidative damage to cellular DNA occurs and can lead to cell death. Research indicates a strong link between oxidative stress, release of ROS and inflammation and disease, examples being diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer and even early aging.
