Benefits

Antioxidant defense

Melon SOD concentrate boosts the body's own antioxidant enzyme system, helping neutralize the superoxide free radicals behind oxidative stress.

Supported by Trial 1

Stress and fatigue

In a placebo-controlled clinical trial, a melon SOD concentrate reduced perceived stress and fatigue in healthy people.

Supported by Trial 1

Skin smoothness

As Dimpless, the melon SOD concentrate is positioned to support smoother-looking skin by countering oxidative stress in skin tissue.

Supported by Trial 1

Mechanism of action

1

Superoxide dismutase activity

SOD converts damaging superoxide radicals into less harmful molecules, the first line of the body's antioxidant enzyme defense.

2

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.
