Protecting yourself against the ravages of cell-damaging free radicals is essential to promoting health and longevity.

Free radicals accelerate aging by damaging cell membranes, proteins, and even DNA. Protecting yourself against the ravages of cell-damaging free radicals is essential to promoting health and longevity.

The first line of defense against free radical assault is the body's own internally produced antioxidants, including the enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Research shows that antioxidant enzymes like SOD offer up to thousands of times more protection against certain dangerous free radicals than do dietary antioxidants.

The body's supply of youthful antioxidant enzymes such as SOD rapidly decrease with age.1,2 The good news is breakthroughs in nutritional science have enabled researchers to develop an orally ingested supplement that raises and replenishes the body's supply of SOD, thus vastly enhancing its own natural antioxidant defenses.

Life Extension's SODzyme™ with GliSODin® delivers a "one-two punch" against free radical-generated oxidative stress by combining two of the most advanced SOD catalysts available. In one clinical trial, SODzyme™ significantly increased serum and blood levels of SOD and catalase in supplemented volunteers, while reducing hydrogen peroxide.*

SODzyme™ with GliSODin® also contains 100 milligrams of GliSODin®, a patented, plant-derived form of SOD bonded to the wheat protein gliadin to protect against degradation in the body and enhance absorption. In extensive animal and human trials, GliSODin® has been shown to raise blood levels of the antioxidant enzymes SOD and catalase, helping to maintain healthy cellular DNA structure. 3,4*
