Chemical composition of SOD-Like Supreme.
| Chemical Constituents | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Germ extract (an extract of fermented fresh coffee beans, soybeans and rice bran) | 60% |
| Oligosaccharides | 14% |
| DL-Alanine | 2.5% |
| Green tea extract | 1.2% |
| Dietary fiber (Pineapple fiber) | 1.0% |
| Citric acid | 0.6% |
| Vitamin C | 0.5% |
Chemical analysis has revealed that the germ extract contains flavonols (such as (+)-epigallocatechin gallate, (−)-epigallocatechin, (−)-epicatechin and d-(+)-catechin), nucleic acids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals [9]. The results of the chemical analysis are based on earlier studies [9,10] as well as on those obtained from the Japan Food Analysis Center.
