Have You Ever Considered Why...
Why do people have a tendency to get sick as they grow older? More Heart problems*, more Cancer*, more Arthritis*, more aches and pains*, more wrinkles*. Why can't we stop the aging clock when we reach the age of 20? Does it really have to be this way? Perhaps not! Good diet and exercise are important for a healthy and longer life. But a new Scientific Breakthrough may be just as important. The solution to these age-old questions is finally available!

But a new Scientific Breakthrough may be just as important. The solution to these age-old questions is finally available!
The Danger of Stress
Getting stressed isn't just a state of mind. It can also seriously harm the body. Health professionals have known for some time that physiological stress negatively impacts the body, especially with respect to the immune system. Scientific research has uncovered another type of stress that plays an equally devastating role in our health at the cellular level. This research is new, and many physicians are unaware or have not yet had the opportunity to study it's negative effects. It is called Oxidative Stress and the damage it causes is thought to be associated with over 200 aging-related diseases. Until recently there hasn't been an effective approach in reducing this debilitating process of Free Radical production. But now there is!
Free Radicals: An 'Age' Old Problem
When we are young our bodies are designed to naturally produce antioxidants in an amount sufficient to counter the negative effects free radicals have on our cells and DNA. This imbalance leads to a condition called Oxidative Stress, and the problem increases the older we get. When we reach the age of 20 our ability to naturally produce these antioxidants diminishes, as our 'survival genes' get 'lazy' but our free radical production levels increase with age. This increase in Oxidative Stress has been linked to over 200 age-related diseases, such as Cancer, Heart Disease, Arthritis and Skin Conditions, to name only a few.
Protandim®: A Million Times More Effective than Your Average Antioxidant
Direct dietary antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and E, and foods rich in antioxidants, like blueberries, red grapes and red wine, and dark chocolate are limited in their ability to neutralize free radicals, the scavengers that cause damage in up to the 100 trillion cells that make up your body. This destructive process called Oxidative Stress is associated with over 200 disease and conditions. The negative impact that Oxidative Stress has on your cells is similar to the metal on your car rusting. The National Institute of Health's Clinical Studies website, PubMed.gov lists over 92,000 studies that discuss the destructive process known as Oxidative Stress, and this number is growing every day. Take a moment and go to the website, then type in Oxidative Stress and your ailment in the Search Bar. i.e., Oxidative Stress Lupus.
Typical dietary antioxidants neutralize free radicals one at a time. For example, one molecule of vitamin C neutralizes one free radical. Then its job is over. While this may be helpful in reducing cellular damage, it is an extremely inefficient process.
Why? Because your cells produce far more free radicals per day than dietary antioxidants are capable of neutralizing. You would have to consume 375 oranges or 87 glasses of red wine or 120 vitamin C tablets (500mg) to counter the amount of free radicals you produce daily as a result of processing your 'fuel': food, the air your breathe, and the toxins you ingest. So the claim that a dietary supplement or special diet can do this on their own is an Antioxidant Myth. Until now.
Much More Than Just Your Average Antioxidant
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 'survival' enzymes diminishes, making you more vulnerable to disease due to a diminished level of cell vitality.
The combination of 5 natural ingredients in Protandim® up-regulate your sleeping genes by activating a protein called Nrf2, which sends a message to your genes to produce more antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic enzymes. The impact that Protandim® has on Nrf2 activation is scientifically proven and it is what makes Protandim® unique in the world of nutraceuticals. Nothing else on the market works like Protandim®.
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 at least 40%, bringing your levels down to that of a 20-year-old! This is truly a Scientific Breakthrough!
Protandim®, the Nrf2 Synergizer, is a biochemical approach to anti-aging. Protandim® works differently than any other convention antioxidant or anti-aging supplement because it signals the body to do what it is already programmed to do: it tells your DNA to not only increase the production of antioxidant enzymes like SOD, Catalese and Glutathione, but to also activate Nrf2. Nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor 2, Nrf2, turns on defensive and detoxifying enzymes that protect against cellular damage. It up-regulates stress-responsive and cytoprotective enzymes and proteins, survival genes that help fight stress and protect against inflammation and fibrosis. This is important because oxidative stress and inflammation are constant features of many chronic diseases and complications.
What Can You Expect?
Oxidative stress can manifest itself in so many different ways, which is why product testimonials have been so variable.

Dr. McCord gave the following brief description of the study at a convention in April 2011
“There’s a human exercise trial funded by the U.S. Navy underway. And the Armed Forces, of course, are very interested in performance of soldiers under battle conditions, and recovery times, and how much damage is done if you have to just exert yourself over the top for, let’s say, 15 minutes of intense exercise. So, they’re interested not only in recovery to damage, but this one is looking at mitochondria genesis. So, there are things you can do to help your cells build more mitochondria — which means they can perform aerobically for longer periods of time. And so that’s an interesting study.”

Lipid Peroxidation refers to the oxidative degradation of lipids. It is the process in which free radicals "steal" electrons from the lipids in cell membranes, resulting in cell damage. The Data Points in the charts reference that measurement in TBARS (ThioBarbituric Acid Reactive Substances assay) via testing of the blood of the participates in the Clinical Trials. The age groups of the participants are shown by referencing the plot points shown on the bottom line of the graph (X axis). As the graph clearly indicates, participants in all age groups improved significantly the longer that Protandim® was taken. Even those in the 70+ age group measure better than 20 year olds not taking Protandim®.
