Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an antioxidant metalloenzyme that exists in the body. It can catalyze the

disproportionation of superoxide anion free radicals to form oxygen and . The role is inseparable from the

occurrence and development of many diseases.

SOD content is higher in vegetables and fruits, such as bananas, hawthorn, prickly pear, kiwi, garlic, etc.,

and other such as scallops, chicken, etc. The activity of SOD is higher in the peel than in the flesh, and in fresh

fruit is higher than the fruit after being placed. It is processed into health products and food additives in various

forms, such as milk, beer, soft candy and other types of food nutrition fortifiers with SOD added.

Daily chemical industry:

Skin aging and damage are important characteristics of human aging, and human aging is a consequence of

obstacles caused by accumulation or removal of reactive oxygen species free radicals. Excess free radicals in

the body can cause cell damage and pigmentation. Since the human skin is in direct contact with oxygen, it will

cause skin aging and damage. The supplementation of exogenous SOD is beneficial to delay skin aging,

anti-oxidation and discoloration. Therefore, many cosmetics manufacturers at home and abroad have added a

certain percentage of SOD to their products.


Anti-inflammatory:

Because SOD is a specific disproportionation catalyst that acts on superoxide anion free radicals, SOD, as a

pharmaceutical product, has a significant effect in treating inflammation, autoimmunity, and cardiovascular and

cerebrovascular diseases caused by free radicals. SOD can use its antioxidant effects to inhibit inflammation

types such as arthritis, pleurisy, and acute bronchitis.
