2-HOBA

Cells use free radicals to communicate with each other through signalling pathways, and immune cells harness free radicals as a first line of defence against foreign bodies.

Your body also uses free radicals as part of a process to remove cells in the body that are no longer useful, to prevent them from causing harm to the surrounding healthy cells. For these reasons, a certain level of free radicals are necessary for your body to perform at its best. The issue we face today is the risk of eliminating these beneficial free radicals, which can compromise normal function and immune system capacity.

To support defences against oxidative stress we can take antioxidants. However, to fully mitigate the effects of oxidative stress we would need to take massive doses of antioxidants which would interfere with healthy free radical signalling mechanisms that are important health.

Alternatively, one can supplement with 2-HOBA which supports healthy levels of free radical signaling and supports cells that may be exposed to oxidative stress.

Many people have been led to believe that free radicals are bad for us, but this is not strictly accurate as you need healthy levels of free radicals for our cells to work properly.
