Synthetic catalytic scavenger explained

A Synthetic catalytic scavenger is an artificial anti-oxidant that has been demonstrated to extend cellular life. It was successful in C. elegans and was effective in rat trials.[1] Studies have shown that synthetic catalytic scavengers have superoxide dismutase and catalase activities which prevented injuries from reactive oxygen species, helping promote the livelihood of tissues.[2]
