Product Name: Catalase
Synonyms: Catalase-peroxidase

CAS No.: 9001-05-2

EINECS: 232-577-1

Description:

Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species. Likewise, catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers of all enzymes; one catalase molecule can convert millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules to water and oxygen each second.

The Health Benefits of Catalase

1. Powerful Antioxidant Support

Catalases are perhaps the single most efficient enzymes found in the cells of the human body.

2. Possible Anti-Aging and Anti-Degenerative Effects

Catalase is currently being studied for its applications on extending life span and vitality.

3. Catalase May Increase Lifespan

Catalase enzyme may help ward off degenerative diseases. Similarly, studies done in Russia and Spain also show a correlation between these types of enzymes and the prolongation of life.

4. Fat Reduction

Very exciting research from Japan shows a link between catalase and lowered amounts of organ fat in lab rats. This study also showed a link between the enzyme and an increase in muscle strength.

5. Helps Prevent DNA Damage

Oxidative stress, accumulation of protein and DNA damage could be reduced in the presence of antioxidant enzymes, including catalase and glutathione in the cytosol and mitochondrial extracts from liver cells of rats.
