Nutraceutials
In the post-epidemic economic era, people‘s lifestyles and consumption concepts have changed dramatically, as consumers‘ health awareness continues to improve. The consumption of functional and nutritional products has high growth potential in the future. Functional foods for autoimmune and metabolic health are of great concern to over 65% of consumers worldwide.

SOD
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an important part of the antioxidant enzyme system in biological systems. It is an antioxidant metalloenzyme and is widely distributed in microorganisms, plants and animals. According to the different metal prosthetic groups, SOD can be divided into copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD), manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and iron-containing superoxide dismutase ( Fe-SOD) etc. Free radicals can cause damage to human tissues and cell structures. This damage is called oxidative stress. SOD can catalyze the disproportionation of superoxide anion free radicals to generate oxygen and hydrogen peroxide in vivo. Catalase (CAT) in vivo ) and peroxidase (POD) will immediately decompose hydrogen peroxide into completely harmless water. Therefore, SOD plays a crucial role in the balance of oxidation and anti-oxidation in the body, and is of great significance to the occurrence of diseases and the study of human anti-aging. ... -
PQQ
Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) is a water-soluble, thermo-stable TAG-quinone, which is widely distributed in nature and characterized as a mammalian vitamin-like redox cofactor with molecular weight 374.17 g/mol.PQQ promotes and improves neonatal development and reproduction involving mitochondrial biogenesis and cell signaling pathways. PQQ plays vital role in liver fibrogenesis and in signal transduction via mitochondrial biogenesis. It has diverse functions in insulin resistance and aging by creation of new mitochondria. -
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 is an important vitamin-like substance and an essential compound found naturally in virtually every cell in the human body. Coenzyme Q10 is a lipid-soluble substance whose primary role is as an essential intermediate of the electron transport system in the mitochondria. Adequate amounts of Coenzyme Q10 are necessary for cellular respiration and ATP production. Coenzyme Q10 also functions as an intercellular antioxidant, and its presence was then demonstrated in call cell membranes and in blood, both in high- and low-density lipoproteins, where is it endued with antioxidant properties
