About Lifeline Therapeutics
Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. markets Protandim®, a patent-pending dietary supplement that increases the body’s natural antioxidant protection. Lifeline Therapeutics is committed to helping people achieve health and wellness ... for life. For more information, please visit the Protandim® product website at http://www.protandim.com.
Oxidative stress (cell damage caused by free radicals) occurs as a person ages or is subjected to stresses such as certain illnesses. TBARS are harmful, reactive substances that indicate the level of oxidative stress in the body. New data from a scientific study in men and women show that after 30 days of taking Protandim®, the level of circulating TBARS decreased an average of 40 percent, and the age-related increase in TBARS was eliminated. Protandim® strengthens a person’s defenses against oxidative stress by increasing the body’s natural activity of antioxidant enzymes.

Further, the Company operates in industries where securities values may be volatile and may be influenced by regulatory and other factors beyond the Company’s control.
