Foundational Nutrition
with Added Protection
Gaditana Phytoplankton is the first source of nutrition in the food chain and is the origin of many micronutritents and vitamins. This means that by including just a single scoop of Gaditana in your daily diet - you are filling voids in nutrition, preventing malnourishment and feeding your body properly, at a cellular level.
TetraSOD is a second strain of phytoplankton that supercharges your immune system by replenishing Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) - the most important enzyme in your immune system to protect your body from oxidative stress.
What is Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress arises when reactive oxygen species (ROS)—inevitable by-products of cellular energy production—accumulate more quickly than the body’s antioxidants can neutralize them. Malnourishment, defined as an inadequate or imbalanced intake or absorption of essential nutrients, intensifies this problem: a lack of dietary antioxidants (such as vitamins C and E, carotenoids, selenium, and zinc) and of the amino acids and minerals needed to build antioxidant enzymes leaves cells defenseless, while nutrient scarcity forces metabolism to run less efficiently, producing even more ROS. The resulting surplus of free radicals damages DNA, proteins, and lipids, contributing to over 200 chronic conditions—including cardiovascular, inflammatory, fertility, cognitive, joint, and skin disorders.
Because both malnutrition and oxidative stress tend to worsen with age, maintaining robust nutrition that supports antioxidant defenses is critical for healthier ageing and a lower risk of age-related disease.
How to Reduce Oxidative Stress:
Phytoplankton delivers a complete spectrum of highly bioavailable micronutrients—vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, and natural antioxidants—that can correct nutrient gaps underlying malnourishment while simultaneously fortifying the body’s own antioxidant network. By supplying both direct free-radical scavengers (such as carotenoids and superoxide dismutase–rich compounds) and the nutritional building blocks needed to produce antioxidant enzymes like glutathione peroxidase and catalase, phytoplankton lowers existing oxidative stress and helps prevent new ROS formation.
The result is a dual benefit: reversal of malnourishment related disease and stronger cellular defenses that slow cellular damage.
The Best SOD Source for Immune Health
The first shield against oxidative is the superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme. Ubiquitous to all forms of life exposed to oxygen, SOD has been protecting living beings from oxidation for over 2 billion years.
SOD plays a critical role in preventing oxidative stress: it is the most important antioxidant agent able to control the production of ROS and to prevent cell oxidation.
What is SOD
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the cell’s first-line antioxidant, rapidly converting harmful superoxide radicals into hydrogen peroxide, which glutathione peroxidase and catalase then break down into water and oxygen. Present in every life-form and dependent on metal cofactors such as Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, or Ni, SOD is crucial for preventing oxidative damage. TetraSOD®—derived from the microalga Tetraselmis chuii—contains three SOD isoforms (Mn, Cu-Zn, and Ni) and delivers over 30,000 IU/g of dried biomass, the highest SOD activity recorded in nature.
