FERMENTED PAPAYA:
It has antioxidant properties that slow down cell aging. Its anti-aging benefits are guaranteed by the presence of the papain enzyme, which is able to activate endogenous enzymes that attack and neutralize free radicals (e.g. SOD: superoxide dismutase). In addition, fermented papaya supports the body’s natural defenses.
QUERCETIN:
It helps protect cells from oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals through various mechanisms including the increase in levels of glutathione (GSH), one of the main endogenous substances involved in protecting against oxidative stress. It also inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory molecules and enzymes (e.g. TNFα and cyclooxygenase).
It also has antiviral properties that help prevent infections. In particular, Quercetin is useful in preventing viral infections of the respiratory tract by counteracting the entry and replication of the virus in cells.
SELENIUM:
It contributes to the normal function of the immune system by keeping cell membranes intact and hindering the infection of viruses and other pathogens by participating in the formation of IL1 and T-Killer lymphocytes.
Furthermore, Selenium helps protect cells from oxidative stress as a component of Glutathione peroxidase (GPX), one of the main antioxidant enzymes present in our body.
