Recent Research on GliSODin

Numerous clinical studies have shown this action to help protect mitochondrial DNA from oxidative stress, inhibit photo-oxidative stress in the sun-sensitive, inhibit lactic acid accumulation under exercise, restore normal levels of SOD, and positively affect other significant markers of oxidative stress.
