SNP 4: SOD2 (Manganese Superoxide Dismutase) |
|
The SOD2 enzyme is also involved in scavenging free radicals. However, SOD2 is focused on one particularly toxic type of free radical: superoxide. Since the superoxide radical is produced in abundance in all cells, it is the starting point for the free radical chain of production. SOD2 has the distinction of being the only enzyme in the mitochondria that can neutralize superoxide. Individuals with a SNP in this gene therefore have a weak first line of defense against free radicals. |

SNP 3: NQO1 (Coenzyme Q10 Reductase) |
|
Free radicals are considered by many scientists to be the primary cause of aging. The coenzyme Q10 reductase (NQO1) enzyme converts coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) to its reduced form, ubiquinol, which scavenges free radicals in the mitochondria and lipid membranes. Some individuals have a SNP in the NQO1 gene that slows the reduction of ubiquinone to ubiquinol, resulting in very low blood levels of this key antioxidant. Consequently, people with this SNP are at high risk of free radical attack. Because NQO1 is also involved in the detoxification of compounds foreign to the body, a SNP in the NQO1 gene may cause aberrant cellular changes. |

SNP 2: EPHX (Microsomal Epoxide Hydrolase) |
|
Epoxides are toxic, highly reactive foreign chemicals present in cigarette smoke, car exhaust, charcoal-grilled meat, smoke from burning wood, pesticides, and alcohol. The body’s way of dealing with epoxides is through the enzyme microsomal EPHX, which detoxifies these foreign compounds. Due to a SNP in the EPHX gene, people with lowered EPHX activity will have difficulty detoxifying harmful substances and thus be particularly vulnerable to their effects. |

SNP 1: VDR(Vitamin D Receptor) |
|
The strength of our bones is influenced by the VDR gene. In fact, among healthy people, this one gene accounts for 75% of the entire genetic influence on bone density. People with SNPs in the VDR gene tend to have lower bone mineral density than those without these variations. SNPs in this gene may also influence young adult growth, parathyroid hormone production, normal cell division, and blood sugar regulation. |

Grape Skin Extract (Polyphenols, Resveratrol) |
|
Red wine polyphenols have been shown in vitro to directly reduce the ApoB levels produced by human liver cells. The effect was similar to astorvastin, a cholesterol-lowering drug. |
