Superoxide Dismutase
SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) which contains ferrous metals Des-based, and it only exists in Prokaryotes like Spirulina etc., it has some function as, clean the excessive superoxide anion radical which generated by metabolic, can play the role of slowing down the aging, significantly improve and enhance the human body immune function against the diseases arising from superoxide anion radical,help body removal of fatigue and enhance the body's great ability to adapt to physical exertion.
Activity
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) has powerful antinflammatory activity. For example, SOD is a highly effective experimental treatment of chronic inflammation in colitis.
Cosmetic uses
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) may reduce free radical damage to skin—for example, to reduce fibrosis following radiation for breast cancer. Studies of this kind must be regarded as tentative, however, as there were not adequate controls in the study including a lack of randomization, double-blinding, or placebo. Superoxide dismutase is known to reverse fibrosis,perhaps through reversion of myofibroblasts back to fibroblasts.
Commercial sources
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is commercially obtained from bovine liver, horseradish, cantaloupe and by
fermenting certain bacteria, though it is found in most living forms at diverse concentrations.
Benefits
1) there is a significant effect of sunscreen, light skin darkening is mainly due to oxygen free radical damage, Superoxide Dismutase can effectively prevent skin by ionizing radiation (especially UV) damage, which play a sunscreen effect;
2) Superoxide Dismutase for the antioxidant enzyme, can effectively prevent skin aging, freckle, wrinkle;
3) there are significant anti-inflammatory effects, prevention and treatment of skin diseases have a certain effect;
4) Superoxide Dismutase has a preventive role in scar formation.
