A new form of SOD with more concentrated enzymatic activity in the LEPIVITS® range! And not just any SOD! The new SOD Forte supplement now features a remarkable patented active ingredient. It's a microalga called Tetraselmis chuii, enriched in SOD with a powerful enzymatic activity of 30,000 IU/g. But there's more to this microalgae than just this important source of SOD, as it contains a complex of the 3 main antioxidant enzymes, namely SOD, GPx (glutathione peroxidase) and CAT (catalase), as well as essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and trace elements found in aquatic environments (vitamins and minerals), without containing the iron so often found in supplements. Thanks to this wealth of active ingredients, a number of studies have been carried out using this seaweed, although no health claim is yet available, highlighting its strong antioxidant potential[1], positive regulation of the immune system[2] and biochemical and hormonal parameters[3], as well as a favourable contribution to sporting performance[4].
ADVANTAGES OF THE FORMULA
√ TetraSOD®, a unique patented active ingredient from the marine world: micro-algae enriched with SOD
√ Remarkable efficacy: the highest enzymatic activity on the market to date: 30,000 IU SOD/g
√ Numerous clinical studies covering a wide range of activities
√ Natural micro-encapsulation: the algae's tissue organisation acts as a natural barrier and requires no chemical extraction or concentration process
√ 100% natural & plant-based galenic form (pullulan), which promotes the bioavailability of SOD.
