What are antioxidants and oxidative stress?

Oxygen (or dioxygen, O2) is a gas essential to life. With the exception of some organisms, oxygen is needed by all animals, plants and bacteria to produce energy.
During evolution, the adaptation to oxygen of living species has resulted in the appearance of enzymes facilitating its consumption. During this process of cellular respiration, the body generates molecules which can prove to be toxic for itself. These molecules are called free radicals.

The production of free radicals is inevitable, as they are created daily during the body's metabolism. This phenomenon is observable when an apple left in the open air turns brown, or when iron exposed to air and humidity rusts.

Oxidative damage resulting from an excess of free radicals is the major cause of cellular senescence and aging. If their excess must be controlled, their presence is nevertheless essential to stimulate the mechanisms of cellular repair and homeostasis, in particular to defend against bacteria.

Oxidative stress can contribute to the development of various health problems:

  • tired
  • joint pain
  • high blood pressure
  • headache
  • anxiety
  • diabetes;
  • insomnia
  • memory loss...

How to fight against oxidative stress?

The body is provided with a defense system to control these free radicals. There is then a very delicate balance between the production of free radicals and the antioxidant defense system of our body. This is why the cell can continue to function despite the formation of these free radicals.

The defense system available to the body is made up, on the one hand, of antioxidant molecules, partly from the general diet. Mention may be made of vitamins A, C and E, but also coenzyme Q10, carotenoids, polyphenols and trace elements such as zinc and selenium.

On the other hand, it includes an endogenous enzymatic system whose antioxidant capacity is much higher. These antioxidant enzymes include superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), which are essential for neutralizing free radicals.

A healthy and balanced diet (vegetables, fruits, fish, soybean oil) should theoretically be sufficient to provide our body with the antioxidants and trace elements necessary to minimize the harmful effect of free radicals.

Our daily lifestyle, however, confronts us with pollution, prolonged exposure to the sun (UV), the absorption of alcohol or drugs, smoking, which are all situations that generate excessive free radicals.

When this production exceeds the capacities of the antioxidant defenses of the organism or when the immune system weakens, this disruption of balance corresponds to the state known as oxidative stress.

What is SOD for Superoxide Dismutase?

SOD offers particularly interesting antioxidant properties to prevent the effects of aging. Oxidative stress is an important factor in aging. Neurons are also very sensitive to oxidative stress, due to their high need for oxygen and their content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. SOD is a therapy that can be effective in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases. Oxidative stress also acts on osteoarthritis, causing degradation of the cartilage and increasing the content of free radicals. Thanks to its ability to act on the neutralization of free radicals, SOD could help reduce inflammation and joint pain.

Superoxide dismutase also has a cardioprotective role, can improve states of mental fatigue and affect concentration and memorization. SOD may increase the liver's defense capacity and reduce lactic acid generated by physical activity. Fatigue and muscle recovery could be improved. Rather intense or prolonged physical exercises generate the production of free radicals, effects that SOD could attenuate.

What are the origins of melon SOD?

In 1989, melon producers observed that a specific variety of cantaloupe melons kept much better than others. Not very popular with consumers because of their slightly sweet taste, these fruits nevertheless kept a beautiful appearance, without wrinkles or deterioration of the skin, with a shelf life three to four times longer than that of conventional melons.

As a result of this discovery, extensive studies are being carried out on this cantaloupe melon. Researchers are finding that its longevity is due to its high content of superoxide dismutase (SOD).

This variety of fruit, extremely resistant, grows exclusively in the south of France, in particular in the region of Avignon. ISOCELL Laboratories have approached the farmers who cultivate it to obtain the natural SOD which results from it, and which will then be contained in its food supplements, the SOD of melon is an antioxidant which proves to be effective.

Consuming cantaloupe melon as it is, fresh, does not offer the same beneficial effects to our body. The SOD contained in food supplements is concentrated and protected by micro-encapsulation, which gives it increased effectiveness. To benefit from the same amount of active ingredient while consuming fresh fruit, it would require consuming an extremely high amount.

What are the benefits of melon SOD?

The means developed to cultivate cantaloupe are extraordinary. Melons grow there among wild flowers and plants that attract pollinating insects.

Their growth is monitored carefully, their SOD content is measured regularly, to harvest them when ripe like a great wine. Each year, several hundred tonnes of melon are collected and then stored in the cold. The fruits are used throughout the year, as needed.

Their extraction is close to that of a perfume: we remove the skin, the seeds, we exclusively crush the flesh of the melon through filters to obtain a concentrated juice of cantaloupe melon. And reasoned agriculture makes it possible to obtain an analysis which shows the absence of contaminants such as: heavy metals and pesticides.

Oxygen is the source of life but also responsible for the formation of certain toxic substances for the body, such as free radicals. SOD, superoxide dismutase is a response set up by a large number of species to fight against free radicals and its effects. SOD is present in humans, animals, bacteria and plants. Lentils, oats, wheat germ, melons are sources of SOD. Cantaloupe melon is considered the most valuable source of SOD, this antioxidant can protect the skin.

Melon SOD offers many benefits to the body. The active boosts the production of antioxidants in the skin, offering it protection against oxidative stress and inflammation caused by the sun and pollution, it also acts on the cellular aging process. SOD can increase the skin's resistance to UV rays, and the epidermis is better protected from the attacks of the sun.

Why take food supplements to fight against oxidative stress?

However, little is known about SOD-based food supplements. And for good reason, the administration of SOD alone by the oral route is ineffective because of the destruction of the enzyme by the gastric juices. During the 1990s, French immunologists sought to develop a protected SOD which would retain its enzymatic activity. The combination of an SOD with a wheat protein takes place.

In 1996, the first effective oral form of SOD associated with a wheat protein (gliadin) was patented. To reach the small intestine where SOD will be effective, these researchers have the idea of ​​covering the SOD with a layer of natural polymer: gliadin. This is the birth of the innovative complex called GliSODin (SOD + gliadin).

This time, the conjunction is good to have both a reliable source of vegetable SOD with cantaloupe melon from Lubéron and a suitable and effective galenic form. This combination allows the body to be in balance.

GliSODin prepares the organism to respond effectively to oxidative stress by a faster mobilization of endogenous defenses in order to permanently maintain the pro / antioxidant balance.
