Melatonin and Oxidative Stress in Influenza

Role of Melatonin: Melatonin functions as a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger, supporting the body's natural defense mechanisms against oxidative damage.
Influenza and Oxidative Stress: Viral infections like the flu induce a significant inflammatory response and oxidative stress in lung tissues, leading to potential cellular injury.
Therapeutic Potential: Administration of melatonin may help mitigate lung oxidative stress by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines and neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during the infection.
Nutritional and Clinical Approach: At Acu-Cell, addressing respiratory infections involves supporting immune function and redox balance through targeted antioxidants, proper nutrition, and lifestyle factors to enhance recovery and protect lung tissue from excessive oxidative damage.
