About Protandim®
Protandim® is a unique approach to fighting
the effects of cell-damaging free radical molecules which advance the
aging process, including many of the diseases of aging. The patented
dietary supplement increases the body's natural antioxidant protection
by inducing the cells of the body to produce naturally occurring
protective antioxidant enzymes, a process which is thousands of times
more effective than traditional vitamin-mineral supplements. Free
radical damage occurs when a person is subjected to environmental
stresses and generally increases with age. Data from a peer-reviewed
scientific study in men and women, sponsored by LifeVantage, shows that
after 30 days of taking Protandim®, the level
of circulating toxins produced by free radicals decreased an average of
40 percent, slowing the progressive aging factors to the level of a 20
year old. With continued use, the decrease was maintained at 120 days.
