Hydrogen Peroxide Has A Complex Role In Cell Health

Hydrogen peroxide is used to clean surfaces and to clean up cuts, but it also is made by our own body!  Our body produces them for our cells when bacteria are noticed in the body.  Hydrogen peroxide is produced to fight the bacteria.  Peroxiredoxin controls the level of it because hydrogen peroxide can get too high causing damage to the DNA and proteins in the cell.  During peroxiredoxin’s routine, a protein called sulfiredoxin is binded with peroxiredoxin.

  1. Hydrogen is one of the simpleist and readily available compounded agents. There are so many uses for t\hrdrogen peroxide, i found a few web sites that list just a few of them. Some of them include the basic ones like cuts and sores, but it also works great for personal care products likr toothpaste and mouthwash. It also works great as a cleaning agent. The sites ared below!
