Product description
MELOFEED is a complementary feed containing dried melon juice from a specific variety that is naturally rich in the primary antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD).
What it delivers
MELOFEED’s melon powder contains a specific coating that protects the primary antioxidant enzyme, SOD, along the digestive tract. Once the melon powder reaches the small intestine, it stimulates the endogenous production of antioxidant enzymes in the body and helps reinforce natural defenses against oxidative stress.
Why it matters
Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between pro-oxidant and antioxidant molecules, causing an overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This overproduction of ROS could overwhelm the horse or pet’s normal antioxidant capacity, causing damage at the molecular and cellular level.
Oxidative stress can occur during intense physical activity. This type of stress is involved in the aging process and is linked to metabolic imbalances. Dogs and cats under oxidative stress could appear in poor health with a compromised immune status. In horses, oxidative stress during exercise can impair muscle and joint integrity.
MELOFEED helps modulate oxidative stress, support joint and muscle integrity, reinforce the immune system and support natural defenses.
SOD is also documented to have beneficial effects in the areas of weight management, muscle and joint function, emotional balance and in aging animals.
