Catalase and the Vegetarian Diet

Catalase is an enzyme that is ubiquitously present in the cells of many living organisms, including animals, plants, and fungi. Its primary function is to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, a potentially harmful byproduct of various metabolic reactions, into harmless water and oxygen. This enzyme plays a vital role in protecting cells from oxidative damage.
