About SOD (Superoxide Dismutase)

Among the Antioxidants our bodies produce, SOD plays the primary role. SOD transforms the most reactive, and therefore, the most dangerous, Free Radicals – the superoxide radicals – into ions that are less reactive. These less reactive ions are then transformed by Catalase and Gpx. This transformation is called dismutation, thus its name Superoxide Dismutase.SOD also “signals” other cells to produce more SOD, preparing the Antioxidant defense system against Free-Radical attacks.

Sunshine In a Packet by Suzanne uses a patented form of SOD called “GliSODin”. If you are like most people, chances are you never knew the human body has its own built-in Antioxidant Defense System. And that the body’s own Antioxidants, including SOD, are by far the most important and the fastest acting in protecting us against harmful oxidative stress.

Unfortunately, aging, environmental factors and the stresses of daily life can diminish the levels of these important innate Antioxidants. How can we be sure that our internal defense system is going to be ready for whatever life throws our way?

GliSODin is a radically different approach to Antioxidant Supplementation. Unlike secondary dietary Antioxidants, such as Vitamins and Minerals, GliSODin works as an Antioxidant catalyst, promoting the production of the body’s own, Primary Antioxidants at the cellular level. And human Research has proven GliSODin effective in helping to maintain Cellular Health and protect against damage caused by oxidative stress. GliSODin, is the only orally-effective SOD supplement, it has been Clinically proven effective and is covered by two U.S. patents (6,045,809 and 6,426,068 B1) with more patents pending.

Primary Antioxidants are made by the body, and are internally provided and activated.  This internal Antioxidant Defense System includes Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase, and Glutathione Peroxidase (Gpx), which are the first, and most powerful, line of Defense against oxidative stress.

Patented GliSODin activates the most powerful Antioxidants known to man, the body’s own internal Antioxidant Defense System, including Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase and Glutathione Peroxidase (Gpx).

About Vitamin D

Vitamin D is an Essential Nutrient that Every Man, Woman, and Child must have to not only survive, but thrive. An Essential Nutrient is a Vitamin, Mineral, Amino Acid, or Fatty Acid that the Body cannot make on its own and without it, Disease or Death will occur.

Vitamin D is often referred to as the Sunshine Vitamin! It is comprised of a group of fat soluble seco-sterols that are found in very few foods as Nature would have it. Vitamin D is Naturally photo-synthesized in the skin of vertebrates by the action of solar ultraviolet B Radiation. Vitamin D comes in many forms, but the two major forms are Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Since there are concerns about getting skin cancer from too much sun exposure, many people avoid the sun completely or heavily use Sun screens. Even weak Sun screens block your body’s ability to generate vitamin D by up to 95%.   Most adults are working and outside far less as they age increasing the likelihood of deficiency even further.

Vitamin D’s major biologic function in humans is to maintain serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations within the normal range by enhancing the efficiency of the small intestine to absorb these minerals from food or supplements we eat and consume on a daily basis.

Aging significantly reduces the capacity of human skin to produce vitamin D3. In adults over age 65 years, there is a fourfold decrease in the capacity to produce vitamin D3 when compared to younger adults aged 20 to 30. Remember, adequate Vitamin D levels are Essential for proper Calcium metabolism and absorption.
Latitude, climate, time of year and even the clothes you wear also can affect Vitamin D levels. For example, above or below latitudes of approximately 40 degrees North and South, respectively , Vitamin D 3 production in the skin is absent during most of the Winter Months entirely. The far Northern and Southern latitudes extend this period for up to 6 months. As we age, we tend to wear more clothing further limiting our skin’s ability to produce this Vital Nutrient.

It is now believed most children will need supplements to reach the desired levels of Vitamin D because there aren’t many foods high in Vitamin D except milk that has Vitamin D added. It would take four 8 ounce glasses each day to get just 400 IU and many Doctors and Scientists believe we need much more daily for Optimal Health and Development. Breast –fed infants are at an elevated risk of not getting enough Vitamin D also. Breast-milk is a poor source of Vitamin D since many adults are deficient in this Essential Nutrient.
