A Million
Times More Effective than Your Average Antioxidant
But I want you to be skeptical!
I definitely was.
Being in the health and fitness world for 34 years, I turned down
dozens of offers from supplement companies asking me to promote
their products. There just wasn’t a standout product available.
Protandim was no different. I first heard of this supposed “super
antioxidant” in the Summer of 2011 from several doctors.
Unfortunately, it was a multi-level marketing (MLM) product. I had
always said I would rather have my fingernails ripped out than
promote an MLM product. But then two things happened.
#1. Unquestionable Results
After 4-5 days on the product, I noticed I was awake as soon as my
eyes were open! (It has always taken me forever to get my brain on
in morning). I also had more energy. It had my attention. Literally!
#2. Real Science
Talk is cheap. Where’s the proof. Everybody says their product is
the cure all.
I decided to research the product. Wow! At that time there were 8
peer reviewed studies from major universities, OSU, LSU, FSU, UC
Denver, VCU &TTU. Now there are 9. See for yourself on http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=protandim.

Why hadn’t I heard of this before!
ABC Protandim Feature
Why MLM?
How many times have you set foot into a GNC, CVS, or Walgreens in
the past decade? For 7 years, Protandim sat on the shelves of these
retail outlets collecting dust. Why? Because the bottle doesn’t
talk.
Your supplement store clerk was clueless as to what this little
yellow pill did. And if you (like me) were one of the millions who
missed the ABC Primetime segment which aired in 2005, so were you.
This was before the 9th peer reviewed university study. Until now.
When something so unique becomes available, how do you spread the
word? Spend millions of dollars in advertising or word of mouth?
Lifevantage (LFVN), the publicly traded manufacturer of Protandim,
chose the latter. And here we are.
Not Your Average Antioxidant.
Direct (working in the blood) dietary antioxidants like vitamins A,
C, and E, while beneficial, are limited in their ability to
neutralize free radicals, the scavengers that cause damage to the 50
to 75 trillion cells that make up your body. This destructive
process called oxidative stress is associated with over 200 disease
and conditions.
Typical dietary antioxidants neutralize free radicals one at a time.
For example, one molecule of vitamin C kills one free radical. Then
its job is over. While this may be helpful in reducing cellular
damage, it is an inefficient process.
Why? Because your cells produce 300 sextillion free radicals daily.
That’s 300 with 21 zeros behind it!
To neutralize that many free radicals, you would have to consume 375
oranges or 87 glasses of red wine or 120 vitamin C tablets (500mg)
per day!
Flip the Switch!
A well-kept secret is the fact that your cells can produce their own
antioxidant enzymes like
glutathione (the master antioxidant and
detoxifier). These enzymes neutralize free radicals at a rate of up
to one million per second!
As you age, your production of these protective enzymes diminishes,
making you more vulnerable to disease.
The combination of 5 natural ingredients in Protandim wake up your
sleeping cells by activating a protein called NRF2, which sends a
message to your genes to produce more antioxidant,
anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic enzymes.
How important is NRF2 activation? Well, according to renowned
anti-aging expert Dr. Nicholas Perricone,
“Finding substances that can turn on the highly-protective
transcription factor NRF2 holds the key to preventing a host of
diseases.”
That’s exactly what Protandim does! It flips the switch on your good
protective genes and turns off the bad age- and disease-accelerating
genes.
After just 30 days, Protandim will reduce your oxidative stress by
40%, bringing your levels down to that of a 20-year-old!
All have been used safely for thousands of years in Chinese and
Ayurvedic Medicine. It is the synergism of these plant-derived
ingredients that lends the product its potency.
Protandim is 100% Vegetarian – Free of Gluten, Wheat, Dairy, Gelatin
and Yeast.
Skeptics like you and me need proof. This is my son’s Before and
After tests. Here’s how his results came out.
As you see above, my son’s Lipid Peroxides are 9.4, which is a very
high score. A score over 6.0 is an indicator of elevated oxidative
stress and cellular damage. Notice the “Date Collected” is September
23, 2011. My son had been on Protandim 2 weeks prior.
On October 26, my son completed his AFTER test. His TC/HDL Ratio
decreased by 29%, down to 6.7 in a matter of 33 days! His total
cholesterol dropped from 216 mg/dll to 193 mg/dll and his
triglycerides dropped from 225mg/dll to 125 mg/dll.
Who is the Scientist?
Protandim’s chief scientist is Dr. Joseph McCord, winner of the 1997
Elliott Cresson Medal for his discovery of SOD (Superoxide
Dismutases). This award puts Dr. McCord in legendary company as past
recipients include Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell, Marie Curie
and Orville Wright.
Dr. McCord was honored with the award for co-discovering the biology
of free radical reactions in living organism. In other words, he
co-founded the entire field of free radical biology! How’s that for
credibility?
What Can You Expect?
Oxidative stress can manifest itself in so many different ways,
which is why product testimonials have been so variable. Reports
from Protandim users include:
* Increased energy
* More restful sleep
* Enhanced immunity
* Reduction in joint pain
* Improved eyesight (I’m serious!)
* Rapid exercise recovery
* Radiant skin with reductions in fine lines and wrinkles
* Improved mood
* Faster hair and nail growth
Please read the individual testimonials for more information.
What I know for sure is that Protandim will reduce your oxidative
stress by 40%. Again, oxidative stress is associated with over 200
diseases and conditions. I leave it to you to put two and two
together.
The Current Research
Nine studies at
