Super oxide dismasts(SOD)-ox blood extract

Product Description:
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a key antioxidant, functioning as the primary enzyme in the elimination of the cytotoxic superoxide radical (O2-) by catalyzing its dismutation to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Three SOD isoenzymes have been identified in mammalian cells: copper and zinc-containing SOD (Cu/Zn SOD, SOD1), expressed as dimers in the cytoplasm; manganese-containing SOD (Mn SOD, SOD2), expressed as tetramers in the mitochondria; and the tetrameric extracellular SOD (EC SOD, SOD3). Mutations in the Cu/Zn SOD gene account for approximately 20% of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease.
