Benefits and uses of Superoxide Dismutase are
Superoxide dismutase is an enzyme that helps break down potentially harmful oxygen molecules in cells, which might prevent damage to tissues. It is being researched to see if it can help conditions where oxygen molecules are believed to play a role in disease.
- taken by mouth (However, there is no evidence that superoxide dismutase products that are taken by mouth are absorbed by the body.)
- for removing wrinkles
- rebuilding tissue
- extending the length of life.
- As an injection
- treating pain and swelling (inflammation) caused by osteoarthritis
- sports injuries
- rheumatoid arthritis
- a kidney condition called interstitial cystitis
- gout
- poisoning caused by a weed-killer called paraquat
- cancer
- lung problems in newborns.
