Defensio: the most powerful food on Earth! DEFENSIO is using TetraSODÂŽ, which is a product derived from a unique marine phytoplankton (also known as microalgae) called Tetraselmis Chuii as an ingredient. It is grown under patent-protected technology that has been designed exclusively by Fitoplancton Marino. It is totally natural marine vegan ingredient, produced without the use of any chemical process of extraction or concentration, following GMP standards, ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 certified environment.
Natural antioxidant source Microalgae forms the basis of the food web in the oceans. Microalgae, although small enough to be invisible to the naked eye, they can actually be seen under favorable conditions from a space satellite, because it occurs in such huge quantities. According to NASA, microalgae produces between 50% and 90% of the oxygen in the air that we breathe, depending on the season. Depending on the species, microalgae sizes can range from a few micrometers (Âľm) to a few hundreds of micrometers. It is predicted that more than 800,000 species of marine microalgae prevail, but only around 30,000 have been studied and analyzed. Researchers found that marine microalgae show an extraordinary bioactive capability and one of them is its antioxidant activity. Natural alternatives antioxidants source has become a trending topic in the past decades to replace synthetic antioxidants (antioxidants created from chemical processes). Also, users concern regarding the safety of using synthetic antioxidants has urged researchers to seek for natural alternatives source of antioxidant. In fact, natural antioxidants are compatible with diet and less harmful effect in the human body. Why antioxidant is important? Antioxidants are substances that fight against free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells, produced when your body breaks down food or is exposed to cigarette smoke, radiation or air pollution. Free radicals may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Marine microalgae contain high levels of antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory micronutrients to fuel metabolism and detoxification. Antioxidant supplements? Our body has its own mechanisms to counteract free radicals by producing antioxidants. Even so, sometimes it is not sufficient enough, especially when the body overproduce free radicals over antioxidant capabilities. This is when our bodies need antioxidants from other sources. It can come from everyday foods or dietary
