Extramel® Melon Extract: What is it and Why Should You Take It?

Extramel®  Melon Extract:  What is it and Why Should You Take It?

If you’re on the hunt for a high-quality antioxidant and mitochondrial support supplement, you may have come across MitoFuel capsules..

Combining nicotinamide riboside chloride, acetyl-L-carnitine, CoQ10 and glutathione, formulators we’ve crafted MitoFuel for energy support using some of the most robustly researched ingredients available.

But there’s one more hero inclusion in this MitoFuel energy and stress support formula you may not have heard of, and it deserves serious attention - Extramel®, a patented superoxide dismutase (SOD) extract from sweet melon that offers some powerful and impressive benefits! It truly is a key ingredient in both MitoFuel capsules and powder.

WHAT IS SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE (SOD)?

SOD is a powerful enzyme our bodies make to protect our cells, and we can also source it from certain foods. As an antioxidant, SOD acts a little like a garbage collector, breaking down free radicals - harmful molecules that can do real damage to our cells and tissues. Abundant SOD helps to reduce free radicals formed in the body, relieve symptoms of stress, reduce cognitive fatigue and support our general health and wellbeing.

WHAT DO MELONS HAVE TO DO WITH SOD?

Cucumis melo, or sweet melon, is one of the best food sources of SOD. Extramel® is a patented extract of sweet melon that provides a supplemental form of this powerful antioxidant. Best of all, it’s been clinically trialled and shown to have some impressive benefits.

WHAT DOES THE EVIDENCE TELL US?

The evidence for Extramel® is stacked in a few key areas:

  • In a 4-week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical study conducted on healthy volunteers between the ages of 30-55 who reported feeling daily stress, Extramel® performed significantly better than placebo. The Extramel® group showed a significant decrease in overall stress symptoms, particularly with reductions in irritability. Participants also reported a noticeable improvement in overall quality of life.

  • In a longer 12-week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, Extramel® again outperformed placebo in improving symptoms of physical and mental fatigue measured by several assessment tools.

These results further justify our inclusion of Extramel® in our MitoFuel anti-fatigue and stress supplement.

In the modern world, we all need help to manage the signs and symptoms of stress and mental fatigue. To add the ‘Extramel® edge’ to your regime, try MitoFuel.
