Pharmacology
When the body is under stress, it uses up more sugars, minerals and co-factors, because these are involved in making energy. That extra energy production leads to more free radicals being generated. Cucumis melo L is a potential source of superoxide dismutase (SOD), and this SOD helps lower oxidative stress by reducing the free radicals, through its primary antioxidant actions.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
There isn't enough information to say whether superoxide dismutase is safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
