Sod Powder
Description
SOD Powder – High-Activity Antioxidant Extract for Nutraceuticals, Cosmetics & Functional Foods
Xi'an Le-Nutra Ingredients Inc is a supplier of high purity SOD Powder from Rosa Roxburghii (Thorn Pear) fruit for B2B nutraceutical, cosmetic and functional food uses. Our exclusive solution provides 100,000 U/g superoxide dismutase activity using next-generation UV-tested extraction methods, naturally fortified with vitamin C for enhanced cellular defence. This water-soluble powder is produced in our 60,000㎡ GMP-certified plant with an annual production capacity of 3,000 tonnes, and it helps to solve important industrial problems, such as oxidative stress control in ageing populations, melanin suppression in cosmetic products, and immunological support in dietary supplements. We have 14+ years of botanical extraction experience and 98% on-time global delivery of traceable, regulatory-compliant raw materials that fulfil FDA, ISO and Kosher criteria for foreign markets.
What Makes SOD Powder a Superior Antioxidant Solution?
This product is a concentrated version of superoxide dismutase, a naturally occurring enzyme that plays a key role in neutralising damaging free radicals at the cellular level. The mixture we extracted from the thorn pear is unique from synthetic antioxidants and includes enzymatic activity and phytonutrient synergy from vitamin C.
The active ingredient breaks the chain reaction of oxidative damage by catalysing the dismutation of the superoxide radicals into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. This process is very useful for creating remedies for skin ageing, immunological decline, and metabolic weariness.
During extraction, we maintain enzyme integrity through temperature control and stabilisation procedures. The outcome is a light yellow powder, which is fully soluble in both cold and hot water systems, so there's no formulation issues as with lipid-based antioxidants.

Five Core Functional Benefits for Product Development
Rapid Free Radical Scavenging
The enzymatic activity of 100,000 U/g offers an improved antioxidant capability than standard plant extracts. The increased potency means decreased dosage requirements in finished products with measurable reduction in oxidative stress indicators.
Synergistic Vitamin C Boost
Natural co-existing vitamin C could enhance the antioxidant action of SOD by dual-pathway protection. This combination is effective against enzymatic and non-enzymatic defence processes and is appropriate for the whole anti-aging formulations.
Enhancing Your Immune System
Clinical trials of SOD supplementation show increased natural killer cell activity and an improved cytokine balance. This means our powder can be utilised for immunity-focused tablets, capsules and functional drinks for health-conscious consumers.
Cosmetic Applications of Melanin Inhibitors
The component inhibits tyrosinase activity and the routes of melanin deposition. Formulators can take advantage of this capability for formulation of brightening serums, face masks and water based cosmetic systems without any stability issues.
Restoration of Physical Fatigue
SOD supplementation helps recovery after exercise by lowering lactic acid build-up and promoting mitochondrial activity. This benefit is especially useful in the case of sports nutrition drinks and anti-fatigue functional food products.
Versatile Application Scenarios Across Industries
Nutraceutical Supplement Production
Our Sod Powder can be used in tablet compression, capsule filling and sachet packing. The water solubility allows for effervescent tablet formulations without residue, and the stable powder form avoids the liquid handling issues of fresh juice extracts.
Formulation of Functional Beverages
It is fully soluble in cold water which makes it excellent for ready to drink antioxidant beverages probiotic drink mixtures and energy shot formulations. The natural colour is pale yellow, giving it a good appearance without the need for synthetic colourants.
Cosmetic Ingredients Integration
As a water-soluble skincare ingredient it dissolves cleanly into toners, essences, sheet mask solutions and gel formulas. Enzymatic stability in the pH range of 4.0-7.0 is compatible with most cosmetic preservation techniques.
Enrichment of Functional Food
The powder can be added by manufacturers to protein bars, health snacks, breakfast cereals and meal replacement items. The heat-stable nature at conventional food processing temperatures ensures activity is maintained throughout most of the manufacturing workflows.

Why Global Brands Choose Our Manufacturing Partnership?
Direct Factory ControlAssures Consistency
We have a fully integrated plant, where we do everything from procuring Rosa Roxburghii fruit to final powder packaging. This removes the quality fluctuations typical of multi-supplier chains and ensures reproducibility from batch to batch.
Advanced R&D Customisation Capability
Our technical staff can adapt specifications, co-extract with complimentary botanicals and customise activity standardisation. We customise our production according to your formula needs if you desire higher ratios of vitamin C or special mesh sizes.
Detailed Regulatory Documentation
COA, TDS, MSDS and method of analysis reports accompany every shipment. We welcome 3rd party testing requests and provide paperwork that meets FDA GRAS criteria, EU Novel Food Standards and regional cosmetic ingredient regulations.
Global Logistics & Inventory Availability
With 30+ days of safety inventory, we can quickly fill orders for trial amounts as well as bulk production runs. We offer EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP shipping arrangements to facilitate your overseas sourcing.

Storage & Handling Guidelines for Maximum Shelf Life
Proper storage is crucial to maintain SOD enzymatic activity for 24 months of shelf life. The powder should be stored in sealed, light-resistant containers in a temperature-controlled environment less than 25°C.
Enzyme activity will gradually diminish at high temperatures above 40°C and prolonged light exposure. Humidity greater than 60% RH may lead to moisture absorption and lump formation, which will reduce solubility.
For unsealed containers, reseal immediately after use with desiccant packs to retain powder flowability. Nitrogen flushing during bulk handling can be used to improve stability during formulation operations in manufacturing environments.
Do not store near volatile chemicals or powerful oxidisers which can react with the active substances. Your inventory will keep full potency from receipt to final product manufacture if you follow these standards.

FAQ
Q: What are the primary application categories for this ingredient?
A: The powder is suitable for immunity-boosting oral supplements (tablets, capsules), anti-fatigue functional beverage, skin-brightening water-based cosmetics, and everyday anti-aging functional food products. Its water solubility and neutral taste profile make it ideal for these several applications.
Q: How should the product be stored to maintain enzymatic activity?
A: It should be stored completely sealed in cool, dark, dry warehouse conditions. High temperatures and exposure to light destroy SOD enzyme function. If stored in controlled humidity and temperature environments, the substance remains potent for 24 months from date of manufacture.
Q: Why is this substance entirely soluble in formulations?
A: The fine particle structure produced by the high-end spray-drying technology is entirely dissolved in hot and cold water without sediment. This quality makes it perfect for transparent beverage systems, effervescent pills and transparent water-based skincare formulations where visual clarity is important.
Q: What are your unique applications and requirements?
A: Yes, our R&D team can provide you with customised formulation support including modified SOD activity levels, increased vitamin C ratios, customised particle sizes, and co-extraction with synergistic botanicals. We work together with your technical team to produce requirements that fit your product positioning.
Q: What certifications and test reports do you provide with each batch?
A: All shipments are accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and Method of Analysis paperwork. We have FDA registration, ISO quality systems, Kosher certification, and support third-party verification testing as required.
