SOD B Dimpless® (Melon Superoxide Dismutase)

Cucumis melo
Evidence Level
Moderate
1 Clinical Trial
3 Documented Benefits
3/5 Evidence Score

SOD B Dimpless® is a melon (Cucumis melo) concentrate naturally rich in superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the body's master antioxidant enzymes. The melon SOD concentrate is studied for reducing oxidative stress and fatigue, and the Dimpless form is marketed specifically to support smoother-looking skin.

Studied Dose Around 10 mg (about 140 IU of SOD) per day.
Active Compound Melon (Cucumis melo) concentrate standardized for superoxide dismutase (SOD) antioxidant enzyme activity, protected for oral delivery.

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

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.
