Superoxide dismutase (SOD) was discovered in 1969 by Professor I. Fridovich and graduate student McCoard of Duke University. It protects organisms from damage caused by superoxide free radicals.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme naturally present in the human body. It plays an antioxidant role, helping to combat free radicals generated by metabolism, stress, environmental pollution, ultraviolet radiation, smoking, and unhealthy diets and lifestyles. Research has found that free radicals are linked to over 100 major diseases, including inflammation, tumors, diabetes, cancer, and Parkinson's disease, and they also accelerate aging, making them a major threat to health!
Although our bodies can synthesize SOD on their own, the amount of SOD in our bodies decreases with age, and the rate of self-production cannot keep up with the rate of free radical generation, greatly weakening our ability to fight free radicals. Even obtaining SOD from food is not easy, because SOD is a "large molecule enzyme (protein)," and after being eaten from natural foods such as cauliflower, wheat, corn, and bean sprouts, it is immediately destroyed by stomach acid and digestive enzymes, broken down into ordinary nutrients, making it difficult for it to enter cells and exert its effects.
Obtaining sufficient SOD from food is difficult, and extracting SOD from food is also not easy. There are some nutritional supplements on the market containing SOD, the most common of which contain SOD-like active substances fermented from a variety of fruits and vegetables. SOD-like substances are small plant-based compounds with activity similar to SOD enzymes, and are easily absorbed and utilized by the body. However, SOD-like substances are simply small-molecule nutrients, not true SOD enzymes.
GliSODin®, a French patented SOD extracted from honeydew melon, is the world's first patented product that has been clinically proven to be effective orally and "absorbable through the digestive system." It combines honeydew melon extract, rich in SOD, and wheat protein, which enable the antioxidant activity of SOD to work efficiently in the human body.
GliSODin® boasts an SOD content seven times that of regular melon, 400 times that of pine bark, and 20 times that of astaxanthin. It can neutralize up to one million free radicals that cause cell and skin aging in just one second. Compared to other existing antioxidants that only target specific cells, its effect is far more significant, effectively combating free radicals in one step. It effectively resists the damage and loss of bodily functions caused by aging and oxidation, rejuvenating youthful vitality from the cellular level. Its super antioxidant effect is unmatched by any other existing health supplement ingredient. Furthermore, research indicates that the longevity of certain animals, such as turtles, may be related to their exceptionally high SOD levels, thus SOD can be considered one of the essential nutrients needed by the human body.
