What is S.O.D.? S.O.D. is the most powerful enzyme produced by our body. Our skin has S.O.D. in both the dermis and the epidermis that regulates the metabolism and functions of the cells, especially the fibroblasts (skin building cells). S.O.D. is a powerful antioxidant that scavenges free radical oxygen (oxygen with a dangerous unpaired electron). These radicals cause oxidative damage that reduces the ability of the cell to reproduce itself, thereby responsible for what we commonly refer to as "aging". S.O.D. detoxifies these cells, restoring their ability to reproduce and remain "young". S.O.D. has demonstrated its amazing ability to reduce facial wrinkles, reduce scar tissue, heal wounds, heal burns, lighten dark or hyperpigmentation, and that it is anti-inflammatory and protects against harmful UV rays from the sun. S.O.D. regulates collagen and elastin formation to keep skin thick, strong, smooth and supple. Scientists have studied S.O.D. in the laboratory for over a decade and have revealed its amazing restorative properties with topical application . As we age, the ability of our skin to prevent dangerous free radicals from destroying cell growth decreases. This is because S.O.D. levels have fallen. No longer can these cell destroying free radicals be destroyed. It is then that our skin shows the affects of aging.
