Statistics have shown that 16,700,000 lives died due to cardiovascular problems globally each year. Every year, 8000 died and over 50000 patients were hospitalized due to these problems in Hong Kong.

Mono-vitamin may not be effective

Prof. Ko pointed out that free radicals is the most important cause of cardiovascular problem among many other causes. Some people may take mono-vitamin, like vitamin C or vitamin E etc to prevent disease; however, clinical studies have shown that mono-antioxidizing vitamin may not be effective in enhancing anti-oxidizing power of body or preventing cardiovascular problem. He believed that the most effective anti-oxidizing method is to activate the body’s inborn anti-oxidizing system. The nature antioxidant, SOD, can activate the instinct to clear free radicals.

SOD protects heart against free radical damages

Effective production of energy relies on a little electric plant, mitochondria, in cells. Mitochondria are responsible for converting nutrients to energy. In this process, cell-damaging free radicals will be produced. Dr Ko carried out a pharmacological study on animal models to test SOD’s anti-oxidizing protective effect to the heart. Results have shown that SOD can protect the heart from free radical damages and protect the integrity of mitochondria.

Prof. Ko quoted a recent research of Harvard University. It has shown that resveratrol in red wine can lower the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems. Long-term intake of SOD can improve health condition of obese mice and extent their lives.

SOD protect cells from apoptosis

Cardiac cells cannot be regenerated once they are dead. Special care is required to protect them. Prof. Ko explained that pharmacological study has shown that SOD can elevate anti-oxidizing power of cardiac cell mitochondria, protect the heart from free radical damages and maintain the integrity of mitochondria under oxidative stress. Besides animal model, cardiac cell model has also shown that SOD can inhibit apoptosis caused by free radicals.

Last but not least, Prof Ko’s study has shown that long-term intake of SOD can improve various body functions, like vitality, immunity, digestion, sleeping, detoxification, water metabolism, sunscreen, whitening etc. through enhancement of mitochondrion function.

User sharing

SOD users, Ms Fung and Ms Chan, shared their feelings about SOD.

Ms Fung

I started to take SOD. After a few months, my skin spots and health are also improved. It is so amazing!

Ms Chan

I occasionally had stomachache. After I have taken SOD, stomachache was alleviated greatly. My sleeping quality, vitality and skin quality were also improved.
