The body’s supply
of youthful antioxidant enzymes such as
superoxide dismutase (SOD) rapidly
decreases with age.
Fortunately SODzyme™ with GliSODin® &
Wolfberry combines three advanced SOD
catalysts to replenish the body’s supply
of SOD, vastly enhancing its natural
antioxidant defenses.
The suggested
daily dose of three capsules provides
2000 mg of SODzyme™, a proprietary
plant-based extract. In a study of 12
middle-aged volunteers of both sexes who
took 2000 mg SODzyme™ daily for two
weeks, SODzyme™ boosted serum SOD levels
by 30% on average, and reduced toxic
hydrogen peroxide by 47%.
The SODzyme™
formula also contains GliSODin®, a
patented, plant-derived form of SOD.
GliSODin® improves cellular antioxidant
status while protecting against cell
death induced by oxidative stress.
In an animal study, small amounts of
orally administered GliSODin® raised
blood levels of SOD by 89% and increased
catalase levels by 171%.
GliSODin® has been shown to favorably
affect nitric oxide activity and to
reverse clinical measurements associated
with endothelial dysfunction in humans.
In a recent clinical trial,
supplementation with GliSODin was
effective in controlling the thickness
of the carotid inner arterial lining and
media layers as measured by
ultrasonography-B in 76 adults aged
30-60.
SODzyme™ also
supplies 100 mg of a standardized
wolfberry (Lycium
barbarum)
fruit extract.
When given to patients aged 64-80 years,
wolfberry increased blood levels of SOD
by 48% and lowered dangerous blood lipid
peroxides by 65% in only 10 days.
SODzyme™ with GliSODin® & Wolfberry
SODzyme™ with
GliSODin® & Wolfberry is a 100%
vegetarian product using only plant
sources for Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
catalysts and vegetarian capsules. The
SOD enzyme activity is certified based
upon the NBT assay. GliSODin® is a
patented, non-GMO, water-dispersible
form of SOD lypholized extract from the
edible plant
Curcumis melo
(melon). GliSODin® has been combined
with a wheat gliadin protein matrix that
protects SOD from degradation in the
digestive tract and promotes its
absorption in the small intestines.
SODzyme™ and GliSODin® stimulate the
natural production of SOD by the body.
An exotic fruit
known as the wolfberry may be a powerful
addition to our arsenal of free radical
fighters. Wolfberry, the fruit of
Lycium
barbarum
or
L. chinense,
also called goji berry, is an excellent
source of antioxidant agent in the daily
dietary supplement. The active compounds
include plant-derived polyphenolic
antioxidants; carotenoids (beta-caro-tene,
zeaxanthin, lutein, cryptoxanthin, and
lycopene); vitamins including C, B1, B2,
and niacin; more than 30 essential and
trace minerals including zinc, iron,
copper, calcium, selenium, and
phosphorus; polysaccharides; and 18
amino acids including isoleucine,
tryptophan, leucine and arginine.
Wolfberry is found to have the highest
ORAC values of all fruits. Based on
laboratory analysis of Oxygen Radical
Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), a method set
by scientists at the Jean Mayer USDA
Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging
at Tufts University in Boston, the ORAC
value of wolf-berry is 25,300 units per
100 grams, nearly eight times that of
pomegranate.
Compared with other highly potent
antioxidants derived from traditional
Chinese herbs, wolfberry was even more
effective in scavenging superoxide
radicals and in preventing their
formation.
