About Protandim®
Protandim® is a unique approach to antioxidant therapy. The patent-pending dietary supplement increases the body's natural antioxidant protection by inducing naturally occurring protective enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Oxidative stress occurs as a person ages, when subjected to environmental stresses, or as an associated factor in certain illnesses. TBARS are laboratory markers for oxidative stress in the body. Data from a scientific study in men and women, sponsored by LifeVantage, show that after 30 days of taking Protandim®, the level of circulating TBARS decreased an average of 40 percent. With continued use, the decrease was maintained at 120 days. For more information, please visit www.protandim.com.
