At the current time, many thousands of people are going through “detoxification” to reduce elevated levels of mercury and other toxins. As the public awareness grows, this will turn into millions of people, all seeking products and practitioners that will assist in a safe, effective detoxification. Here we try to share information about some of the newer or lesser-known products and practices that are available, and give some words of caution about the pitfalls that may occur in the detoxification journey.

What is osr ?
OSR stands for Oxidative Stress Relief. OSR, a patented new discovery, is a safe and non-toxic nutritional supplement that dramatically reduces oxidative stress by significantly increasing glutathione in its “reduced form” called GSH. The increased amount of GSH, or reduced glutathione, allows the body to scavenge harmful free radicals and restore its own detoxifying mechanisms. OSR has been shown to elevate glutathione levels most likely due to its positive ORAC score (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) and the fact that it is more lipid soluble than other hydroxyl radical scavengers. This is how it works: OSR scavenges free radicals leading to an increase of reduced glutathione, or GSH, inside the cells. The increased levels of GSH can then be used to detoxify the body of toxins through the attachment of GSH by an enzyme known as Glutathione-S-Transferase. Toxins, tightly bound and rendered inert, are processed through the liver and then leave the body safely through the

liver or biliary system.
OSR is a unique supplement for restoring and maintaining good health from exposure to pollutants, toxins and heavy metals and other sources that produce dangerous free radicals causing numerous

harmful conditions in the body. What is Oxidative stress ?
Oxidative Stress is a condition that occurs when the available supply of antioxidants, the body’s defense mechanisms, is not sufficient to handle and neutralize free radicals, potentially harmful and unstable molecules formed when weak bonds split leaving the molecules with an odd, unpaired electron. The resulting condition - oxidative stress< - can create massive cell damage that can result in cellular mutations, tissue breakdown, immune compromise and a host of other harmful conditions and disorders.

what are reactive oxygen free radicals ? Reactive oxygen free radicals are highly unstable oxygencontaining molecules that interact quickly and aggressively with other molecules in our bodies to oxdize them and inhibit their biological activity. Free radicals are capable of modifying the proteins, enzymes and lipids of membranes, as well as penetrating into the DNA of a cell and damaging the genome. Excess free radicals also damage mitochondria, the leading energy producing organel of the
cell. Free radicals are unstable because they have unpaired electrons in their molecular structure. This instability causes them to react almost instantly with any substance in their vicinity. This process is called an “oxidation reaction.” How do free radicals relate to Antioxidants , Oxidative

Stress and Human Health ?
Oxidation reactions are crucial for life, but they can also by damaging, In fact, oxygen, or hydroxyl free radicals are especially dangerous. Oxidative stress occurs when the production of hydroxyl free radicals exceeds the body’s natural antioxidant defense mechanisms, causing damaging to DNA, proteins, and lipids.
To survive, plants and animals have developed complex systems with multiple types of antioxidants, such as glutathione, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and enzymes, that either prevent oxidative stress caused by free radicals or by removing free radicals before they can damage important parts of the cell. Free radicals can play a useful role in our body. Some free radicals, for example, form normally during metabolism. The body’s immune system can purposefully create them to neutralize viruses and bacteria. The detoxifying actions of
