What about other forms of SOD?
SOD supplements derived from wheat or bovine sources have
been evaluated and tested by different scientific teams.
Unfortunately, it was shown that the oral administration of
SOD was inefficient due to the fragility of this enzyme,
which is immediately destroyed by gastric enzymes and
acidity. Enteric coating, or coating that protects against
stomach acids, are also ineffective. Once the coating is
broken down so that the nutrients can be absorbed, the
digestive enzymes in the small intestines will destroy the
SOD. Further, only gliadin’s bioactive properties have been
shown to promote SOD utilization*.
What about Gliadin (gluten) allergies?
Gliadin is a wheat biopolymer and is a source of gluten. For
this reason, GliSODin is NOT recommended for anyone with
wheat or gluten sensitivities. If so, please use as directed
by a physician. However, there is less gliadin in 250 mg of
GliSODin than in one slice of bread. Additionally, a
published study hypothesized that the SOD delivered in the
GliSODin complex actually decreased the pro-allergenic
effects of gliadin during digestion.* Therefore, for
most people, the gliadin content in GliSODin is likely not
an issue.
Is GliSODin safe?
GliSODin combines an extract from a variety of
non-genetically modified melon
(Cucumus melo) that is naturally rich in SOD,
providing a food-based, vegetable source of SOD. Gliadin is
a food-based wheat polymer. Thus it is NOT recommended for
anyone with wheat or gluten sensitivities. GliSODin is well
tolerated and is safe for consumption with no chronic or
acute toxicity.
