Study 1
Completed Studies
TetraSOD® activates the antioxidant response pathway, Nrf2, in human cells
***
TetraSOD® induces the cells endogenous production of SOD, CAT and GPX.
TetraSOD® activates the internal antioxidant system of the organism (indirect antioxidant) in contrast to other antioxidants that exert its antioxidant activity by directly scavenging free radicals (that is, there has been only demonstrated that they have antioxidant capacity in an in vitro test like DPPH or ORAC protocols).
Study 2
Benefits of TetraSOD® in muscle tissue using a genomic expression platform for oxidative stress
***
Study 3
Clinical trial: Effects of TetraSOD® as food supplement in athletes
***
Effects of TetraSOD® consumption in a total of 32 male football players with a minimum of 4-year previous experience in football training and subjected to regular training and competition during the span of the study
- Decrease in fat body mass (-8,8%)
- Improvement in performance during the effort stress test
HEART RATE ANAEROBIC THRESHOLD: Significant decrease in heart rate during activity (-3,6%)
HEART RATERECOVERY PHASE: Significant decrease in heart rate 3-minutes post activity (-4,2%)
HAEMOGLOBIN O2 CARRYING CAPACITY: Significant increase in haemoglobin levels (+4,9)
- Effect against oxidative stress
VITAMIN E LEVELS OXIDATIVE STRESS: Significant increase in vitamin E levels (+13,4%)
