Superoxide dismutase (SOD)—your body’s first line of defense against DNA-damaging free radicals. SOD neutralizes superoxide radicals at the source of cellular energy production. But as we age—or if we have genetic SNPs—our ability to make SOD drops. That’s why we created VARS SOD, with over 10,000 IU per dose (most products have less than 240 IU). It’s a game changer for anti-aging, DNA protection, and reducing inflammation at the root.

What is one of the most important antioxidants in your body? You hear us talk a lot about glutathione. You'll probably hear a lot of people talking about vitamin C. These are very, very important vitamins and and antioxidants. But there's another antioxidant that's even more critical for your long-term health and anti-aging benefits. That's

0:19

super oxide dismutace. That's a mouthful. SOD or we just call it sod. Superoxide dismutase is extremely beneficial and its main purpose is to neutralize super oxide free radicals. These are very very potent dangerous

0:36

free radicals that exist in every cell of your body. They exist just in the air that we breathe and they're created during cellular energy production as well as many other cellular processes. So super oxides are everywhere and that's why our body has a defense

0:52

mechanism to protect against those those free radicals as with a chain of other antioxidants with catalase glutathione peroxidase glutathione all of these work together to help protect your body protect your cells specifically against

1:08

damage from free radicals oxidative stress and oxidative damage damage from free radicals causes damage to your DNA which then has downstream effects within within the cell that injure further downstream effects throughout the cell

1:23

and this is what causes many different problems mutations within the cell. If your DNA becomes damaged then it causes havoc within your cells. So protecting yourself protecting your cells from oxidative stress and damage is imperative. The problem is as we age, we

1:41

lose the ability to make new antioxidants and recycle and reduce the antioxidants that we already have. If you have genetic errors around it or other vitamin deficiencies, all of this can compound causing massive deficiencies in oxidative protection.

1:57

You become low in superoxide dismutase. There's three versions of it. You become low in glutathione. You can't process vitamin C as well as you should be. That's what we try to do is we take a look at your genes. We take a look at what intracellular deficiencies you have and then we supplement and build a

2:13

nutrition guide around those deficiencies. And that's why we created VR SOAD. It's one of the first ultra potent sod products in the world that has an extremely high amount of SOD molecules, the individual little molecules in the product, higher than

2:30

pretty much any other product out there. I think it's 20,000 IUs per dose, which is massive. Other saw products on the market use 200 or 240 units per dose, which is minuscule and may have some benefit. Your body may break it down,

2:47

have a little bit of benefit, but that's why we have our sod, an ultra potent version of it to help protect your cells. Again, anti-aging benefits unlike any others. Sod is critical for protection against super oxide radicals.

3:02

And then you have to have the other antioxidants ready to get to work as well. That's where varss glutathione is extremely important to work along the chain of antioxidative protection. So supporting all these different things protects your cells, protects your DNA, reduces mutations which reduce the big C

3:19

and many other diseases that come from massive oxidative stress. We take a look at homoyine and all that the inflammation that's caused by that and everything's intermixed everything's related your MTHFR to your homoyine to your fibromyalgia that's why we got to take a look deep under the hood what is

3:36

the root cause of all these symptoms and that's what the intracellular deficiencies we're looking for caused by the genetics that all comes around in one big picture where we create specialized nutrient plans just for you can work one-on-one with our staff and we are so happy to help you don't suffer

3:54

in pain. Don't suffer forever. I my own personal experience is that I I was one that suffered in pain for years and years. I could never get weight off and I just struggled. Uh but since taking these steps to really protect my cells and give my body the nutrients that it

4:10

was so lacking, my life has changed and so can yours.
