Again, the hope with microdosing is to avoid these side effects
Transition metals such as iron, copper, and manganese, act as prooxidant agents, although copper is also essential for the antioxidant function of the protein ceruloplasmin, and copper and manganese are constituents of the cytosolic Cu +2 /Zn +2 and the mitochondrial Mn +2 -superoxide-dismutases (SOD, protective against oxidative processes)
It rapidly interacts with and neutralizes a wide spectrum of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), including superoxide anions, destructive hydroxyl radicals, and peroxynitrite
