While controlling oxidative stress is important, cardiac specialists realized they need to look at the bigger picture. Thus, they turned to redox signaling!

WHY REDOX SIGNALING?

Redox signaling is known to be involved in cellular processes - that means practically everything that happens to our body! In the heart, it affects the following, but not limited to:

Excitation-Contraction Coupling (ECC)

Cell Differentiation

Stress Response

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

The terms mentioned above are rather technical, but basically, redox signaling has an influence on:

our heartbeat,

the formation of the heart muscle,

our blood pressure,

elasticity and tone of blood vessels,

how we adapt and react to heart problems,

...and more! Imagine the impact it has on our cardiovascular system.

More studies are underway, but if there's anything clear, REDOX BALANCE = HEALTHY HEART!
