Internally produced antioxidants — including the enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase — are the body’s primary defense against free-radical assault, offering up to thousands of times more protection against certain dangerous free radicals than dietary antioxidants.
The body’s supply of youthful antioxidant enzymes rapidly decreases with age.78,79 Fortunately, SODzyme® with GliSODin® & Wolfberry combines three advanced ingredients to help replenish the body’s supply of SOD, vastly enhancing its natural antioxidant defenses.
The first nutrient is SODzyme®, a proprietary plant-based extract. In a study of 12 middle-aged volunteers who took 2,000 mg of SODzyme® daily for two weeks, SODzyme® boosted serum SOD levels by 30% on average, and reduced toxic hydrogen peroxide by 47%.80
The second ingredient contained in this formula is GliSODin®, a patented, plant-derived form of SOD. In an animal study, small amounts of orally administered GliSODin® raised blood levels of SOD by 89% and increased catalase levels by 171%!81
The third ingredient provided is a standardized wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) fruit extract. Wolfberry is found to have the highest ORAC values of all fruits, and is effective in scavenging superoxide radicals and in preventing their formation. When given to patients aged 64–80, wolfberry increased blood levels of SOD by 48% and lowered dangerous blood lipid peroxides by 65% in only 10 days!82 |
