Protandim®
Protandim® is a groundbreaking, clinically proven supplement
that provides a substantial benefit to help with the challenge of
healthy aging. This patented antioxidant therapy is more powerful than
conventional foods such as red wine, oranges, blueberries or other
popular antioxidant supplements. Protandim® works by
increasing the body's natural antioxidant protection at the cellular
level, triggering cells to produce naturally occurring protective
antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and
glutathione synthase.
A peer-reviewed human study showed that after Protandim® was
taken for 30 consecutive days, the accumulation of lipid peroxidation
products (a biochemical marker of aging) was decreased by an average of
40%. The study also reported that this important marker of aging was
decreased after taking Protandim® to the level of a typical
20 year old. Protandim® is currently the subject of over 20
scientific studies at leading universities and research institutes. For
