Catalase

Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme obtained from many biological sources including animal liver (hepatocatalase) and certain bacteria and fungi. It has been applied to wounds and skin ulcers and has also been used in the treatment of vitiligo. It has sometimes been included in preparations for contact lens care to neutralize H2O2. Catalase has various industrial applications. In the food industry, it is used in combination with other enzymes in the preservation of foodstuffs and in the manufacture of beverages and certain food items. Commercial catalases are also used to break down H2O2 in wastewater. Catalase can be used as a dietary supplement indicated for endogenous antioxidant support. It aids in protecting cells against oxidative stress. Catalase contributes to the maintenance of redox homeostasis, acting on mitochondria and peroxisomes. Catalase can be used as an adjuvant in protocols and formulations aimed at aging and conditions associated with oxidative stress (indirect use). Catalase aids in the antioxidant protection of the hair follicle, contributing to the reduction of oxidative stress associated with the progressive loss of hair pigmentation, and it contributes to the maintenance of a physiologically balanced follicular environment, promoting the integrity of the structures involved in hair growth.
