superoxide dismutase

what is it?

Superoxide dismutase (SODs) are a naturally occurring group of enzymes found in all living things. As antioxidants, they prevent excess oxygen levels from damaging cells. Excess oxygen levels have harmful effects on individual cells and this may contribute to the development of disease over time.

Superoxide dismutase catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide radical into the molecules oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Superoxide is produced as a by-product of oxygen metabolism and, if not regulated, causes many types of cell damage.

The superoxide dismutase that is used as medicine and cosmetics can be taken from cows, melons or synthetically produced.

what does it do?

BRAHSTON uses Superoxide dismutase (SODs) in some of our formulas because it is an key antioxidant that fights cellular inflammation and oxidative stress.

Superoxide dismutase levels naturally decline as we age, which slows wound healing and causes wrinkles and dark spots. SODs, when topically applied, help refuel your skin cells.
