Protandim® is a groundbreaking, clinically proven solution for healthy aging. This patented anti-oxidant therapy is 1000's of times more powerful than red wine, oranges, blueberries, acai juice or other popular anti-oxidant supplements. Protandim works by increasing the body's natural anti-oxidant 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 scientific study shows that after 30 days of taking Protandim, free radicals decreased an average of 40 percent, slowing the progressive aging factors to the level of a 20 year old. Protandim is currently the subject of over 20 scientific studies at leading universities and research institutes.
