Benefits of Negative Ion Treatment

-boosts your body’s SOD level, neutralizing free radicals, and antioxidants

Superoxide dismutase (SOD), an enzyme produced in both animals and plants, is an important enzyme that helps protect against the damage of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It plays a crucial role in protecting against stressors.

As we age, the body’s free radical levels increase but negative ion volume decreases (https://lavabene.com/detox-healing-houston/#ions), so is the level of SOD.

SOD enzyme also helps break down potentially harmful oxygen molecules in cells, which might prevent damage to tissues. SOD repairs cells and reduces the cellular damage caused by the most common free radicals in the body.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) is an enzyme that alternately catalyzes the dismutation (or partitioning) of the superoxide (O2−) radical into either ordinary molecular oxygen (O2) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Superoxide is produced as a by-product of oxygen metabolism and, if not regulated, causes many types of cell damage.[2] Hydrogen peroxide is also damaging and is degraded by other enzymes such as catalase. Thus, SOD is an important antioxidant defense in nearly all living cells exposed to oxygen. One exception is Lactobacillus plantarum and related lactobacilli, which use a different mechanism to prevent damage from reactive (O2−).

Active oxygen causes cholesterol to become peroxidative lipids and also reduces the elasticity of blood vessels, which brings on aging and illness.

Oxidation is caused by there being one less electron; by adding negative ions to active oxygen, it becomes an hydroxide ion compound which then turns into harmless oxygen and water. With that, the reduction occurs, thus increasing the level of SOD, repairing damaged cells and DNA, and improving the metabolism, the immune, and self-healing systems.

• Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
• Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
