Protandim® is a groundbreaking, clinically proven supplement that provides a substantial benefit to help with the challenges 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 super oxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione.
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.
