SPECIAL EDITION: BEAUTY FROM WITHIN
Superoxide dismutase
Clinical studies have already shown that supplements of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase - or SOD - can ease stress, fatigue and improve cognitive function, and it is now garnering attention within nutricosmetics.
Thanks to its ability to protect cells from free radical damage and stimulate the production of collagen, it has been praised for slowing down the ageing process.
French company Bionov’s range of dietary supplements and powdered drinks contains SOD B, derived from a variety of French melon, as well as two other primary antioxidants - catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Together they work in synergy to aid absorption and boost bioavailability.
