SOD / Superoxide dismutase

For years, scientists have sought a way to boost one of the body's most powerful natural antioxidant enzymes : superoxide dismutase (SOD).

Present both inside and outside cell membranes, SOD is one of the body primary internal anti-oxidant defenses, and plays a critical role in reducing the oxidative stress implicated in artherosclerosis and other life-threatening diseases. Studies have shown that SOD can play a critical role in reducing internal inflammation and lessening pain associated with condition as arthritis or lupus. 

When delicate SOD molecules are coupled with a protective protein from wheat and other plants, they can be delivered intact to the intestines and absorbed into the bloodstream, these powerful antioxidants go to work detoxifying potentially harmful substances and reducing oxidative stress that might otherwise contribute to aging and crippling diseases.

SOD oral supplements should only be taken if they are  enteric coated so it maximizes its absorption in the small intestine and is not destroyed in the stomach ! 

By strengthening the body's primary antioxidant systems, novel SOD-boosting supplements may offer the most powerful free radical protection available today.
















SOD is an enzyme found in all living cells and taken orally or as a shot can :

• remove wrinkles
• rebuild tissue
• extend length of life
• treat pain / swelling ( caused by sports injuries, RA, Osteoarthritis, cancer & lung problems in new born)
• improve tolerance to radiation therapy
• improve rejection rates in kidney transplantation
• minimize damage caused by heart attacks.
• reduce DNA damages
• reduce lactic acid build-up
• promote longevity
• bladder inflammations
• cancer prevention

SOD makes every cell in your body more resilient and able to fight off attacks better from the outside. No other antioxidant - nor carotenoids, nor flavoinoids, nor Vitamins A, C and E nor CoQ10 and not even Glutathione Peroxidase even comes close to the power of SOD.

I have taken my fair share of SOD over the years prescribed by my doctor and with great results, nowadays I prefer to take green barley as it also has in it SOD, I don't know but I feel better knowing that is from a plant aka a natural source.

We don't know for sure if SOD taken from vegetables ( barley, broccoli, wheat grass, Brussels sprouts and cabbage)  is lost or not completely due to stomach acid but I am still an advocate of eating them.

Be advised that you should discuss before taking SOD  with your doctor and homeopathic practitioner and take their views.



Health is attained step by step. With mindfulness.
