OysterMax® and Anti-Ageing
Zinc is required by the body for the production of more than 200 essential enzymes, one of the most crucial of these being Superoxide Dismutase ( SOD ) , the ‘Master Anti-Oxidant’
There are 3 types of SOD in humans. Zinc, copper and manganese are the active elements needed for the body to produce SOD.
Only OysterMax provides all the elements necessary for the body to manufacture it’s own SOD.
Superoxide dismutase is involved in mopping up the superoxide free radicals which are released upon the metabolism of oxygen within cells.
Superoxide free radicals can react with other by-products of energy production to form hydroxyl, the most damaging free radical of all.
These free radicles can attack the mitochondria of the cells themselves.
Since it is the mitochondria that ultimately produce the energy for all the body’s vital reactions, mitochondrial damage due to free radicals can only mean the production of less and less energy and the gradual deterioration and degeneration of the entire organism.
Effects of this free radical damage are many, including decreased energy, appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
