Greenfilled is a health and wellness brand based in Spain that was founded by Marine Biotech Company Fitoplancton Marino. The brand recently debuted a line of supplements that use TetraSOD®, an ingredient that is used to combat oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is present in everyone, and is the result of your body’s inability to properly detoxify ROS (oxygen reactive species). This is a normal bodily reaction, but imbalances can occur when external factors like UV exposure and pollutants interfere with the detoxification process.
TetraSOD is made from marine phytoplankton, a substance that has a high percentage of SOD. SOD is the first enzyme in the antioxidant pathway, making it perfect for combating oxidative stress.
"We feed the micro-algae nitrogen and stress it with oxygen," explains Enrique Castaño, "This increases the SOD production, which the organisms endogenously synthesize, allowing us to harvest a more potent end product. TetraSOD® is harvested and freeze-dried on site with no additives, too, making it a clean, strong, and effective natural solution to oxidative stress."
