Mito-Oxy™ represents a significant breakthrough in the field of natural medicine, particularly in the area of antioxidant supplementation. Mito-Oxy™ is a metabolic cream that transports a stabilized form of glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) into the bloodstream via transdermal liposomal delivery methods. The plasma markers of GSH and SOD are not raised when these are supplied orally; therefore, effective transport into the bloodstream via liposomal delivery as found in Mito-Oxy™ is preferential. The transdermal method of delivery, known as liposomal delivery, is one in which Iipid spheres called liposomes surround GSH and SOD, transporting it through the skin until it reaches the blood supply.
Glutathione and Superoxide dismutase are considered to be the most important antioxidants known to the human species. These antioxidants are vital for cellular heat and protect the cell against oxygen radicals and mitochondriaI oxidative stress. The status of glutathione is considered the most accurate single indicator of the health of the cell. Antioxidant levels become depleted in inflammatory and degenerative conditions and their depletions create a vicious cycle of further oxidative stress and degeneration. In addition to antioxidant depletion from oxidative stress, antioxidants like GSH and SOD become exhausted from exposure to everyday environmental chemicals and toxins, cigarette smoke, pharmaceutical drugs, exercise, inappropriate diet, blood sugar disorders, trauma and alcohol intake.
