Benefits
Antioxidant defense
Melon SOD concentrate boosts the body's own antioxidant enzyme system, helping neutralize the superoxide free radicals behind oxidative stress.
Stress and fatigue
In a placebo-controlled clinical trial, a melon SOD concentrate reduced perceived stress and fatigue in healthy people.
Skin smoothness
As Dimpless, the melon SOD concentrate is positioned to support smoother-looking skin by countering oxidative stress in skin tissue.
Mechanism of action
Superoxide dismutase activity
SOD converts damaging superoxide radicals into less harmful molecules, the first line of the body's antioxidant enzyme defense.
Induction of internal antioxidants
Oral melon SOD is thought to prompt the body to raise its own antioxidant enzyme activity, extending protection against oxidative stress.
Clinical trials
