Oxis International
Oxis On Nasdaq
With its headquarters in California, Oxis International is a corporation that is advancing oxidative stress technology. If you've ever heard the phrase 'free radical' before and wondered what they are and why you should be afraid of them, Oxis has made it their business. A free radical is a very reactive brand of any of the common elements your body uses to function on a daily basis. Oxygen is a good example.
Most oxygen that you breathe in is going to contain a few of these 'free radicals' throughout your day. They tend to do their own thing once inside your body and cause stress to your body functions. Your body uses an antioxidant to take care of this problem and relieve the added stress on your system. There are a fair amount of naturally occurring antioxidants in the foods that you might consume during your day. Blueberries for instance. When your body has an adequate supply of these antioxidants, it can alleviate the additional wear and tear caused on your body by free radicals, prolonging your life.
To paraphrase and summarize, antioxidants in your body produce an anti-aging effect. The S.A.D or Standard American Diet doesn't always include unprocessed fruits, vegetables and other foods which contain antioxidants such as Lycopene (which is present in tomatoes and watermelon), Vitamin A (found in green leafy vegetables, or Glutathione(which is synthesized in your body from broken down proteins called amino acids. This is why so many people find multivitamins and antioxidant supplements appealing. If you bother to look at the ingredients list on these supplements, you'll only find sources listed for a handful of the contents. The rest are just given by name, whether amino acid, vitamin, or mineral. They all had to come from somewhere.
Oxis searches natural sources of antioxidants out for extraction and redistribution to other companies who then put them into the multivitamin or antioxidant supplement capsules (or other such dosage methods). They choose to extract naturally occurring antioxidants over synthesizing them for safety and potency of their product. The scope of the company is not limited to supplying antioxidants for ingestion, check out their website if you wish to know all they do. The company is also known for being the only significant commercial producer of l-ergothioneine in the world.
In case you missed the stock ticker at the top of the page, I'll paste it down here again. If you feel like you want to be behind Oxis and share in their success, they are a penny stock.
