Excess ROS, if not detoxified by antioxidants, can lead to irreversible genomic damage, lipid peroxidation, persistent mitochondrial dysfunction, and activation of aberrant signaling pathways, resulting in cellular mutation, chromosome instability, and neoplasm initiation (Milkovic et al., 2014)
When levels drop, you become more vulnerable to oxidative stress, illness, and cellular damage
[2] Helpful Note: Switch to whole, nutrient-dense foods like leafy greens, fruits, nuts and other antioxidant-rich options
Polystyrene-microplastics and DEHP co-exposure induced DNA damage, cell cycle arrest and necroptosis of ovarian granulosa cells in mice by promoting ROS production

Supplementing those nutrients that raise glutathione levels can reduce oxidative damage and enhance insulin response
