Dr. Cory Goldberg explains that mitochondria, which power cells, produce reactive oxygen species as a byproduct of normal energy production. Your body's own biochemistry is a major source of oxidative stress, not just external factors like pollution or UV. GliSODin boosts cellular SOD, an antioxidant that protects against this internal damage.

About one and a half billion years ago.
Hi, everybody. It's Corey Goldberg here.
This is our fourth installment of the mini series on reactive oxygen species, where they come from, the damage they cause to us, and ways that we have.
To combat them, including the use of this unique molecule, glycidin, which increases our own antioxidant defenses.
In this episode, I'd like to talk.
About the internal sources of this oxidative stress.
A lot of people think about oxidative stress on our bodies as being something.
That only comes from the outside. And as we talked about earlier, outside.
Sources such as pollution, diet, ultraviolet radiation.
They are significant contributors certainly to the oxidative stress that we experience.
But in fact, our normal daily biochemistry, how our bodies function, is much more of a contributor.
So internally, our bodies produce energy and.
Carry out all sorts of functions in.
Every cell and every organ system.
These functions actually cause more of these.
Oxygen species to be produced. In fact, a lot of our energy production, which comes within our cells, from our energy factories, the mitochondria, produce a ton of these oxidative free radicals. Mitochondria moved into our cells, they were their own cell up to about one.
And a half billion years ago, and they set up shop in our cells.
And continued to produce energy. And we have this kind of joint.
Symbiotic relationship, but this still allows them.
To produce energy and produce all the.
Waste products that come with it, including.
A lot of these oxygen free radicals that then damage the rest of our cell.
Now, we need the energy, but it.
Comes with some pollution, as with most energy sources. So our bodies continue to use this SOD and these other enzymes to combat against this. Now, glycidin increases these levels of SOD.
In our cells, and in fact, it.
Also increases levels of the mitochondrial sod, directly combating all of these oxygen free radicals that are being produced continuously in our cells from our own normal daily function and our own normal production of energy. This is a huge source of damage.
To our cells and in fact is.
Therefore a source of cancer, disease states.
Aging, and ultimately most of the things.
In life that we would like to try and prevent, which we can do by increasing our own antioxidant defenses and increasing our SOD levels. I'm going to talk a little bit.
More about the damage and the outcomes and the effects of this oxidative stress on our body. In the next episode, we'll talk about.
Some disease states that are related to.
Oxidative stress, and I look forward to seeing you there.
