Douglas labs is a good and reliable brand, but to my knowledge SOD doesn't survive the trip through the stomach. That's why it's encapsulated in the glisodin products.

I cannot comment on this form of SOD, but I am pleased with Extramel French melon extract

That's disappointing. I think I will contact them and ask them if they know whether or not it can get past the stomach.

@Sherpa, I ordered the Seeking Health SOD and will receive it tomorrow. I'm going to try 1/2 cap, too, since I have a sensitive system.

I do this with some other supplements and store the powder I don't use from a cap in a 1 oz glass jar. I wrap foil around the jar to keep light out and secure it with a rubber band. I use these from The Container Store:

Cool... I just weigh the contents of one cap on a milligram scale ($20 on amazon)...for seeking health SOD its about 168mg..and write that number on the bottle cap in sharpie for future refefence. Then next time I pour half ... 84mg..onto the scale and gel cap it... Put the top back on the gelcap I poured from. Then I have two perfectly divided, airtight gel caps.

@Sherpa did you also try a gliSODin formulation? I am trying to decide btw Seeking Health and the glisodin
