SOD2 A16V homozygous mutation - anyone else?

[boohealth]

@Sherpa, where do you get Extramel? And I need to know what the coating is....thx

 

[Sherpa]

@boohealth I use Seeking Health's SOD - 1/2 capsule. This product is a white powder - melon extract microencapsulated in palm oil - served in a small gelcap.

Do you think the manganese SOD in spirulina is available for use in the human body?

p272 of that book was not available so I couldn't understand the context in which Mn-SOD was being mentioned. Are you saying spirulina boosts or contains Mn-SOD?

 

[Violeta]

Oh, yes, sorry, I had been reading about spirulina containing Mn-SOD, and then found that book. I should have linked something more substantial.

Although I realize some people don't appreciate naturalnews, but it's a start, there are other sources.

hi guys, I tried to summarize what I learned from this thread here: http://howirecovered.com/superoxide-dismutase-2-my-genetic-timebomb/ Including a bullet list of SOD2 therapies. Also wrote to ThinkTank who started this thread to see if we can get an update... Thanks everyone for your contributions!

I know this is a SOD2 thread but anyone have the Rs#'s for these SOD1's


SOD1 G93A

SOD1 A4V

roxie, further down here, a poster named hip, names the three forms of sod2. i have it to so shall be reviewing all this.

I've been taking Tempol for a few weeks now and Extramel and those other pretend SOD supplements don't even compare.

 

[Thinktank]

@kyzcreig , Care to share your experience with tempol?

 

[kyzcreig]

When I take it I find it makes me much calmer, easier to fall asleep. Overall I've noticed the following:
Skin has more color
Veins are less vascular (bulging), probably from scavenging nitrogen species
Less food sensitivity
Heal faster
No anxiety

It's hard to say how much of this is due entirely to Tempol lowering oxidative stress. Because I'm attacking oxidative stress from a few angles. But I like how things have gone since I started using it. And it's not that expensive.

 

[Thinktank]

Interesting, i'm still doubting what to try, c60 or Tempol.

 

[aquariusgirl]

SOD 2 +\+ here ..Mitosynergy copper helped big time but now I wonder if oral copper is a bad idea cos it feeds the gut bugs?

 

[kyzcreig]

I use C60 too. It's one of my favorites. I make my own at home.

 

[aquariusgirl]

@bluebird I agree w/yr observations ..low BH4, low Cu/Zn SOD, problems w/insulin.PIs back channel me or PM me an email addy thanks

I have a homozygous mutation on SOD2 A16V among other heterozygous mutations in acetylation and glutathione conjugation.
My doc recommended me to support the SOD2 mutation as much as possible.
How are you guys with the same SOD2 mutation addressing the problem? Are you taking specific supplements and/or avoiding certain foods and lifestyle behaviors?

I do really well w 7 drops of manganese. Discovered this myself, confirmed by nd.

I'm about to start HBOT and am wondering if it increases ROS in someone with a double mutation in SOD2.
I'm going to start the full mitochondrial antioxidant pentet as suggested by alex3619 because i have always noticed improvement on Q10, E and especially NAC.

Hi Man. How was the HBOT? TY

I did it two times only because there was so much going on in that time with IV antibiotics etc. i had to stop it. I was also worried about the ROS / oxidative stress which runs very high in me.
But it did give a slight reduction in brainfog.

Too bad! It can work great on the fatigue.

How do you know it's high in you? Is there a test or something for this?

 

[Thinktank]

@Theodore, i want to try HBOT again, maybe next year.

DROMS, low glutathione and a few other tests indicate high oxidative stress in me. I also react very positive to certain antioxidants and glutathione precursors.
I have some symptoms like grey hair, hair loss, skin problems etc. that clear / improve up when addressing the oxidative stress.
