Essential SOD
The antioxidant catalyst to protect us against oxidative stress.
SOD is most important enzyme in the body for protecting the body?s cells and tissues from free radical damage.
SOD - The antioxidant catalyst
If you are like most people, chances are you never knew the human body has its own built-in antioxidant defense system. And that the body's own antioxidants, including SOD, are by far the most important and the fastest acting in protecting us against harmful oxidative stress.
Unfortunately, aging, environmental factors and the stresses of daily life can diminish the levels of these important innate antioxidants. How can we be sure that our internal defense system is going to be ready for whatever life throws our way?
What are Antioxidants?
In the cells of our tissues and organs, metabolic processes constantly occur, including oxygen metabolism. As oxygen and other compounds are broken down to be utilized by the body, molecules become unbalanced, creating "free radicals" or "oxidants".
When free radicals or oxidants are produced in abundance, cells suffer from oxidative stress. Fortunately, compounds called antioxidants quickly balance the free radicals, inhibiting oxidative stress. Cellular health, and our health overall, depends on maintaining this balance.
Primary vs. Secondary Antioxidants
Essential SOD works to promote our own antioxidant production at the cellular level. This internal antioxidant defense system differs from secondary antioxidants that are obtained from dietary sources.
The body's antioxidant supply can be classified into two groups:
- Primary antioxidants are made by the body, thus internally provided. This internal antioxidant defense system includes Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase and Glutathione Peroxidase (Gpx), which are the first, and most powerful, line of defense against oxidative stress.
- Secondary antioxidants are externally provided from dietary sources, such as vitamins (vitamins A, C and E), minerals (selenium, zinc, copper and manganese) and other substances, including polyphenols found in grapes and green tea. These dietary antioxidants contribute to the antioxidant reserve, yet play a secondary role to the body?s own antioxidants.
Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
Among the antioxidants our bodies produce, SOD plays the primary role. SOD transforms the most reactive, and therefore, the most dangerous, free radicals ? the superoxide radicals ? into ions that are less reactive. These less reactive ions are then transformed by Catalase and Gpx. This transformation is called dismutation, thus its name Superoxide Dismutase. SOD also "signals" other cells to produce more SOD, preparing the antioxidant defense system against free-radical attack.
