Superoxide dismutase SOD has great market potential and plays an important role in the medical and anti-aging fields.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an important component of the antioxidant enzyme system in biological systems. It is an antioxidant metalloenzyme that is widely distributed in microorganisms, plants, and animals. SOD can catalyze the disproportionation of superoxide anion free radicals to generate oxygen and hydrogen peroxide in the body, playing a vital role in the body’s oxidation and antioxidant balance. Its discovery is of great significance to research on disease occurrence and human anti-aging.

SOD plays an important role in human health. Its main functions include improving sleep quality, enhancing memory, improving the body’s immunity, anti-aging, enhancing wound healing ability, improving vision, preventing senile cataracts, lowering blood pressure and blood lipids and cholesterol, and inhibiting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. , enhance liver and gallbladder function, inhibit cancer cells, prevent tumors, and prevent Alzheimer’s disease, etc. It can be seen that SOD has broad application prospects in the fields of medicine, health products, food, cosmetics and other fields.

Among microorganisms, SOD is ubiquitous in aerobic microorganisms and is an important life substance; among plants, SOD is widely found in vegetables such as celery, tomatoes, and eggplants, and fruits such as kiwi, prickly pear, and hawthorn; in animals, SOD is It exists in chicken, beef blood, pig blood, etc., and also exists in scallops, etc.; in the human body, SOD is an important cell protection enzyme, which plays a role in anti-radiation, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, regulating metabolism, improving immunity, etc. plays an important role.

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. SOD can be used as a food additive in the food field to produce dairy products, beverages, candies, etc.; in the health care field, it can produce immunity-boosting products; in the pharmaceutical field, it can produce anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-tumor drugs, senile cataract drugs, Drugs for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc.; in the field of cosmetics, it can produce anti-aging, whitening, and anti-freckle skin care products.

According to the “Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report 2021-2025” released by the Industrial Research Center shows that benefiting from the development of downstream industries, my country’s SOD demand continues to grow and the market size continues to expand. From 2015 to 2020, the average annual compound growth rate of my country’s SOD market was 13.9%, and the market size in 2020 was approximately 410 million yuan. Globally, SOD manufacturers mainly include American AveXis, American IONS, American Voyager Therapeutics, Canadian ProMis Neurosciences, Swedish Wilson Therapeutics, etc. In my country’s SOD industry, there are very few companies with high global reputation.

Industry analysts said that thanks to domestic cosmetics such as Dabao SOD honey, as well as foreign high-end cosmetics such as Estee Lauder, Chinese residents are more interested in SOD is familiar in the field of cosmetics. Compared with the cosmetics field, SOD has greater development potential in the pharmaceutical and health care products fields. The aging rate of my country’s population continues to rise. Due to the increasing pressure of work and study, the proportion of healthy people in Central Asia continues to increase. With the continuous advancement of health concepts, there will be huge market space for SOD in the field of medicine and health care products in the future.
