This detoxification mechanism protects cellular components like Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA), proteins, and lipids from oxidative damage, which can otherwise lead to mutations and disease
Clinically supervised topical use, with pharmaceutical-grade formulations, is the safest approach
Before a drug candidate can be administered to humans, it must be supported by years of scientific research, non-clinical investigation and quality assessment aimed at understanding its mechanism of action, safety profile and potential therapeutic value
