    The science behind the important antioxidant Superoxide Dismutase enzyme:

    Superoxide Dismutase enzymes (SODs) act as antioxidants and protect cells from being oxidized by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are chemically-reactive molecules containing oxygen (AKA free radicals). Free radicals can form as a result of drought, injury, herbicides and pesticides, ozone, plant metabolic activity, nutrient deficiencies, photoinhibition, temperature above and below ground, toxic metals, and UV or gamma rays.
    When acclimating to increased levels of oxidative stress, SOD concentrations typically increase with the degree of stress conditions. The compartmentalization of different forms of SOD throughout the plant makes them counteract stress very effectively.
