Endothelial Defense™
60 vegetarian capsules
Item Catalog Number: 00997
Scientists have developed a breakthrough in the ability to maintain healthy endothelial function in aging arteries. An orally active superoxide dismutase (SOD) derived from melons (called GliSODin®) has been clinically proven to support healthy arterial function and structure while boosting levels of the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant enzymes. This patented SOD has a protective outer coating that prevents it from breaking down in the stomach’s acidic environment. This enables the SOD to be absorbed intact into the bloodstream.1,2
In a groundbreaking study, GliSODin® was shown to help support and improve vascular blood flow in middle-aged adults who had multiple risk factors for future cardiovascular problems.3
Most Life Extension members may already be obtaining a considerable amount of endothelial protection by taking SODzyme™ with GliSODin® and Wolfberry and/or taking a standardized pomegranate supplement each day. The findings about high-dose (500 mg/day) GliSODin® are so impressive that Life Extension was compelled to formulate a supplement that provides the best documented nutrients available to maintain healthy blood flow throughout the body.
