Antioxidant Supplements As A Measure Against Electromagnetic Waves

Abstract:

Nowadays, our surroundings are filled with electrical devices that emit electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic waves emitted by devices such as mobile phones, wireless earphones, high-voltage power lines, electric cookers and electric blankets have the same properties as radiation; they differ only in wavelength. Exposure to these waves causes water molecules in the body to ionize, producing hydrogen peroxide and increasing oxidative stress. Oxidative stress contributes to numerous diseases and adverse effects of electromagnetic waves have been reported, including infertility, leukaemia and cancer. As it is impractical to avoid electromagnetic wave-emitting devices entirely, it is necessary to take measures to counteract the oxidative stress they cause.
Twendee X (TwX) is an antioxidant supplement containing vitamins, amino acids and CoQ10. It has passed pharmaceutical-level safety tests and can be used safely by both children and adults. Previous studies have proven that TwX suppresses the increase in oxidative stress caused by radiation exposure. Here, we discuss the potential effectiveness of an antioxidant in countering electromagnetic wave-induced oxidative stress in everyday environments. It incorporates measurement results of electromagnetic waves from common electronic devices, such as mobile phones and wireless earbuds.
