Re: Penny.- antioxidant enzymes

[Guest guest]

Hi Barb,

Did you read about this new pill though? It's not an antioxidant per

se, but helps the body produce its own antioxidants, including SOD.

And if the research is legit, then this pill seems very successful in

reducing oxidative stress (the ABC reporter himself had a reduction of

over 50%).

Of course, there's no proof that reducing oxidative stress alone will

be some kind of cure-all. But the fact that you found enzymes helpful

in your recovery, and also that these SOD enhanced mice were able to

heal " normally " from wounds, makes this worth a look.

Maybe I'm not making the connection between 'wound' and 'infection'

strong enough. If you can't heal from a wound, it's usually because

it's infected. If these mice healed like " normal " mice when their

SOD was increased, then increasing our SOD could potentially help us

heal from our infections. Unfortunately, many antioxidant

supplements don't really accomplish the goal all that effectively,

disappearing somewhere in the GI tract before doing a lot of good.

If this new pill somehow promotes the body to create its own

antioxidants (like a newborn's) then it makes more sense than

spending lots of money on antioxidants (like C, E & A) that are

difficult to assimilate. Although I certainly wouldn't say they are

useless, just that perhaps this new pill could be more effective?

Certainly seemed to bear out in the reporter's results.

That's odd. Don't know why the links not working now. It's Protandim

(in the message title).
