Medical knowledge doubles every 3.5 years or less. With these gains in medical knowledge, we will reach the point where we will know how to stop aging, put it on hold, and even eventually reset the clock mechanism of life itself.
Anti-aging medicine is a medical specialty founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunction, disorders, and diseases. It is a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong the healthy human lifespan. As such, anti aging medicine is based on principles of sound and responsible medical care that are consistent with those applied in other preventive health specialties.
OXIS International, Inc. is engaged in those research, development and sale of products that counteract the harmful effects of “oxidative stress.” Oxidative stress refers to the situations in which the body’s antioxidant and other defensive abilities to combat free radicals (highly reactive species of oxygen and nitrogen) are overwhelmed and one’s normal healthy balance is either lost or severely compromised.
Their products include therapeutic nutraceutical products, cosmeceutical products and proprietary formulations, and clinical products that are developed internally and/or out-licensed to biotech and pharmaceutical companies as drug candidates.
They focus on naturally occurring protective substances since they are more likely to be both safe and efficacious. Their primary products incorporate and emphasize the multifaceted “super antioxidant” compound, L-Ergothioneine (“ERGO”), as a key component. They own several patents and pending applications related to ERGO that cover current and planned products relevant to their nutraceutical and cosmecuetical businesses. Their patents and patent applications address ERGO’s protective effects and activities and the ERGO manufacturing process.
