The Ghostly Antioxidant

Did you know that your body produces a potent antioxidant called superoxide dismutase (SOD)? This powerful 'ghost' fighters play a significant role in neutralizing potentially harmful substances in your body.

Antioxidants like SOD help neutralize harmful molecules in the body known as free radicals.

These molecules, if left unchecked, can damage cells, contribute to aging, and play a possible role in many diseases.

What makes SOD unique is that it converts these dangerous free radicals into ordinary oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, essentially making them 'disappear', hence getting the nickname of ghostly antioxidants.

Because of its crucial role, scientists are intensely studying SOD to better understand its function and how it can be harnessed in treatments for a variety of diseases, from cancer to neurodegenerative diseases.

This makes the naturally produced SOD an incredibly important component of our body's defense mechanism..
