Applications of TetraSOD® and Superoxide dismutase (SOD)

APPLICATIONS

TetraSOD® has two main areas od application:

  1. General well-being and physiological balance
  2. Physical performance and recovery

TetraSOD® FOR WELL-BEING AND PHYSIOLOGICAL BALANCE

Supports Cellular Balance as Part of Functional Wellness Strategies

An increasing number of scientific studies indicate that oxidative stress plays a key role in physiological processes associated with aging. Everyday factors—such as diet, stress, or environmental exposure—can influence these processes. TetraSOD®, a marine phytoplankton naturally rich in antioxidant enzymes, contributes to the activation of the body’s endogenous antioxidant defenses, helping to maintain redox balance and normal cellular function. Thanks to its antioxidant and modulatory properties, TetraSOD® can be used as an ingredient in formulations aimed at supporting cellular balance and overall well-being.

Research Areas Related to Oxidative Stress

Preclinical and clinical studies on TetraSOD® have explored its role in cellular mechanisms related to oxidative balance, inflammatory response, and metabolic function. The scientific literature has examined potential applications in various contexts of wellness and physical activity, without making health claims in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006.

Physical performance

The following are objective data observed in human and preclinical studies, without interpretations regarding performance or recovery effects:

HEART RATE

ANAEROBIC THRESHOLD

During physical activity, a significant decrease in heart rate was recorded, an objective indicator of the physiological response to exercise.

Significant decrease in heart rate during activity (–3.6%)

HAEMOGLOBIN

O2 CARRYING CAPACITY

A significant increase in hemoglobin levels was observed, an objective measure reflecting the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood during the study.

Significant increase in hemoglobin levels (+4.9%), indicating an improvement in parameters related to oxygen transport.

HEART RATE

RECOVERY PHASE

A significant decrease in heart rate was observed 3 minutes after activity, an objective indicator of the physiological response during the recovery phase.

Significant decrease in heart rate 3 minutes after activity (–4.2%)

VITAMIN E LEVELS

OXIDATIVE STRESS

A significant increase in vitamin E levels was observed, an objective measure reflecting the concentration of this nutrient in the blood.
Significant increase in vitamin E levels (+13.4%), associated with a reduction in exercise-induced oxidative stress during the study.



BODY FAT MASS

A significant decrease in body fat mass was observed; an objective measure recorded during the study.
Significant decrease in body fat mass (–8.8%).

Summary

TetraSOD® is a marine-derived functional ingredient with applications in physiological wellness, sports nutrition, and post-exercise recovery. Its antioxidant and cellular balance-modulating profile makes it a valuable component for formulations aiming to provide functional and scientifically supported benefits in advanced nutritional products.
