LifeVantage Corporation Awarded Second Patent for Protandim(R), the Antioxidant Therapy Product Proven to Reduce Key Aging Factors by 40 Percent
LifeVantage Corporation (OTCBB: LFVN), the maker of Protandim (www.protandim.com), announced a second patent was awarded on June 10, 2008 for its Protandim® antioxidant therapy product. Protandim is clinically proven to slow the progressive rate of aging by reducing oxidative stress, which is a key factor in aging. Researchers believe that Protandim's unique ability to reduce aging factors at the cellular level will play a pivotal role in helping consumers age gracefully. The newly issued patent is entitled, "Preparation of Compositions to Alleviate Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in a Mammal."
Dr. Joe McCord, one of the foremost authorities on the body's antioxidant defense system and the co-discoverer of the important antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase, said, "The granting of this second U.S. patent underscores the unique ability of Protandim to modulate important physiological events involved in the inflammatory process, and known to be common to hundreds of human diseases and to the aging process itself. Because of the remarkable synergy of Protandim's five phytochemical components working together to increase the body's network of antioxidant enzymes, it achieves protection against oxidative stress that greatly exceeds that produced by conventional therapies."
David Brown, CEO and president of LifeVantage, said, "Our mission is to develop science-based, natural solutions for healthy aging. Health and wellness is a primary concern for our partners including our customers, retailers and healthcare professionals. The issuance of a second patent for Protandim further supports the fact that there is no other product in the marketplace that can provide consumers a proven solution in reducing the negative effects caused by oxidative stress, which is the primary culprit in aging."
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.
