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.
