Superoxide Dismutase (SOD): The Most Powerful Natural Antioxidant

At B.me, we believe that true skincare starts from within. That's why we work with ingredients like Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) — one of the strongest antioxidants your body knows.

But what exactly is SOD, and why is it so important for your skin and overall health?

What is Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)?

Superoxide Dismutase is an enzyme found in almost all living cells. It has one main function: neutralizing superoxide radicals , harmful molecules that are created by oxidative stress.

Simply put, SOD acts as a guardian angel of sorts, neutralizing free radicals before they can damage your cells — including your skin cells.

Why is SOD so powerful?

SOD catalyzes the conversion of superoxide radicals to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, which reduces the body's exposure to oxidative stress. This is crucial because oxidative stress can contribute to:

  • Accelerated skin aging

  • Reduced elasticity and firmness

  • Inflammatory reactions in the body

  • Damage to cells and tissues

Scientific research (source: ScienceDirect ) shows that SOD not only protects against skin aging, but also plays a role in supporting healthy metabolism, anti-inflammatory processes and even neuroprotection.

Where can you find SOD?

There are different types of SOD, each with a unique location and function:

  • CuZnSOD (copper-zinc) → cytoplasm

  • MnSOD (manganese) → mitochondria (the energy factories of your cells)

  • FeSOD (iron) → mainly in plants and bacteria

  • NiSOD (nickel) → specific bacteria

This distribution allows SOD to act as a versatile defender, anywhere in your body.

SOD as a supplement

Because the natural production of antioxidants like SOD decreases with age, a supplement can help to replenish this. At B.me we combine SOD in our Antioxidant Shot , specially developed to support your skin and body against oxidative stress, air pollution and UV damage.

With powerful antioxidants, you'll not only help your skin look better, but you'll also support long-term cellular health.

Why Liquid Collagen is Better Than Powder

From the age of 25, the natural production of collagen slows down. This process accelerates due to stress, sunlight, sugar and smoking — which becomes visible in your skin: fine lines, less elasticity and loss of hydration. More and more people are therefore opting for a supplement. But which form is the most effective? In this article you will discover why liquid collagen is preferred over powder or capsules, how to achieve the best results and why our Collagen Advance+ is the ideal daily boost. What is liquid collagen? Liquid Collagen is a ready-to-use formula of hydrolyzed collagen peptides that you take directly. Thanks to its liquid form, it is absorbed faster and more efficiently in your body than collagen powder, which must first be digested. In addition to 10g of collagen, our Collagen Advance+ also contains hyaluronic acid, zinc, silicon and vitamin C — a combination that supports the body in maintaining firm and hydrated skin. 3 Benefits of Liquid Collagen Over Powder 1. Faster absorption and high bioavailability The absorption of liquid supplements is on average 1.5x more efficient than powder. Our ampoules have a bioavailability of no less than 91%. 2. No mixing stress or aftertaste Liquid shots are ready to use and tasty — no lumps or powdery aftertaste. The subtle raspberry flavor of Collagen Advance+ even makes your daily routine something to look forward to. 3. Consistent dosage With a 25ml shot you get exactly what your body needs, without weighing or shaking. Each ampoule contains a scientifically proven dosage of active ingredients. What do users say? Customers who switched from powder to liquid ampoules report that they can more easily integrate the product into their morning routine and experience fewer side effects such as bloating. How do you take it? Take 1 ampoule of our Collagen Advance+ daily — preferably at a fixed time, for example with breakfast. Shake shortly before use and drink it pure or mix it in your smoothie. Tip: For optimal results, take it consistently for at least 8-12 weeks. Conclusion Want to get the most out of your collagen routine? Choose a formula that is easily absorbed, tastes good and focuses on skincare from the inside out. Our Collagen Advance+ combines liquid absorption with powerful ingredients — no added sugars or sweeteners. Discover Collagen Advance+ and give your skin the daily support it deserves.

Collagen - the basis for firm, radiant skin

Why is collagen so important for your skin? Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the body. It is not only in your skin, but also in your bones, tendons, cartilage, hair and nails. Collagen is essential for the skin: it contributes to the structure, firmness and suppleness. From about the age of 25, natural collagen production decreases. This can lead to fine lines and less elastic skin over time. Factors such as UV exposure, smoking, sugar intake and stress can accelerate this process. More and more people are therefore looking for ways to provide additional support to their skin from within. How can you support collagen? 1. Collagen through supplements Collagen supplements are more popular than ever. Daily intake of collagen, along with other supporting ingredients such as vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, is increasingly chosen by those who care about their skincare routine. Important to know: The bioavailability and composition of a supplement make a big difference. A formula with highly absorbable collagen peptides and supporting nutrients can help support your skin from the inside out. At B.me we developed Collagen Advance+ for this purpose, a liquid formula that: Contains 10g of hydrolyzed collagen peptides Enriched with vitamin C, silicon, hyaluronic acid and zinc 91% bioavailability has Contains no added sugars or sweeteners Our liquid shots are easy to take, without the hassle of powders or capsules. Discover Collagen Advance+ here 2. Stimulate collagen through skin care Topical products such as creams and serums can help care for the skin barrier. Ingredients such as peptides and antioxidants support the natural processes in the skin. Although collagen molecules themselves are too large to penetrate deep into the skin, smaller molecules can provide signals that help the skin renew itself. 3. Professional treatments Treatments such as microneedling and hyaluronic acid injections can help stimulate natural collagen production. This activates the fibroblasts in the skin, which contributes to a firmer skin structure. Although such treatments can be effective, many people opt for a combined approach: support from within and care from outside. Why choose Collagen Advance+ from B.me? Our Collagen Advance+ shots are specially developed to support your skin from within on a daily basis. Thanks to the high dosage, pure ingredients and liquid form, it is a simple and effective addition to your routine. Choose an approach that truly nourishes your skin, from within.
