Stress – a sophisticated adaptive reaction of the body , Stress is the body’s normal reaction to new and unfamiliar situations. Sophisticated mechanisms enable humans to react appropriately in moments of danger. Stress is important and an essential part of life. However, if a person is subjected to continuous physical and mental stress, the body’s reserves become depleted, resilience decreases, and the body is permanently burdened. In stressful times it is even more important to support the body with antioxidative nutrients to maintain performance and wellbeing.
