a snippet about a recent study on Extramel, which is also a melon extract like GliSODin:

Prophets: you cautioned against the use of SOD boosters in the past didn't you? What's your current thinking on GliSODin, SODZyme etc, and whether or not daily supplementation is a wise thing? A few people on this forum seem to be in that daily supplementation boat (me included)? It's something I worry about, the body becoming a slave to SOD boosters and losing some of it's own endogenous production of SOD, Catalase and Glutathione.

i dont use it, for the reasons you mention. i think it makes sense if you have some sort of impaired system like HIV or Lupus. i just posted the extramel stuff, as somewhat of an FYI.

In looking at the extramel patent, superoxide dismutase
enzyme was made bioavailable by coating it with palm oil.

So this begs the question, would such a preparation
also make glutathione or other enzymes orally absorbable?

looks interesting, nice that there's no gluten derived proteins. any manufacturers carrying it yet? since it seems to be bitter melon coated in palm oil, would mixing powdered bitter melon in coconut oil be effective also?

damn, i cant find any retailers for extramel. Does anyone know where I can purchase? I cant take glisodin as good as it is because im gluten free.

If GliSODin has gluten, then i wonder if it has phytic acid or WGA in it, which are far more dangerous and are found in wheat all over, especially gluten is high in phytic acid
