*PROTANDIM* by LifeVantage Corporation
Having been one to research both the western pharmaceutics drugs and also the beneficial supplements that
are available to us through nature (from where ALL modern day drugs origins come) I was introduced to this
product a couple of months ago. I am a hard sell on "supplements" but because of the huge amount of scientific
research, medical peer reviews, and the fact that Protandim is now being used in 3 official clinical trials,
(one for Diabetes, heart disease and a particular type of cancer.) I am a distributor and use it myself .
The American Heart Association recently supported the use of Protandim. It is also endorsed and used by Montel Williams
for treatment of his Multiple Sclerosis.
I can personally say this "supplement" is truly standing up to its name. Most impressive to me, is that a few years ago,
LifeVantage was approached by some pharmaceutical companies to buy the patent for Protandim at the price of $15 billion dollars,
and they refused to sell it! This speak volumes about the integrity of the company; making sure we, the "little" people have the
choice to use this product with out the pharmaceutical companies making huge profits off of us.
There are at this point three health issues where Protandim most likely should be monitored carefully or avoided:
1. It may influence prescribed blood thinners. For anyone on any type of blood thinner, it is highly recommended
that they have their labs done more often to check if they need to reduce their dosages!
2. It is NOT recommend to be used by people who have had transplants. Because Protandim increases the bodies natural immunity,
transplanted organs may be more inclined by the body to be considered as an intruder thus increasing rejection.
3. Cancer patients may use Protandim before treatments such as Chemo-therapy or radiation is begun and after
your treatment has been completed. Like in transplant patients, there is a risk that the Protandim may interfere
with the treatments intended purpose or killing the cancer cells. Once finished with the treatment, it is a highly
recommended to start the Protandim to increase the bodies natural immunities and remove oxidents that are
by products of the treatment.

For those who take extra supplements as a means of introducing more anti-oxidants they can eliminated .
This does NOT mean that one can stop leading a healthy life style, or if you do occasional
cleanes they should be eliminated.
Below are statements from the LifeVantage web site explaining in easy to understand language how Protandim works in the human body.
This product is NOT sold in stores, it is available through Independent distributors, thus creating an opportunity for everyone to use the product
or/and become a distributor should they find it to be beneficial.

ANTIOXIDANT MYTH TRUTHS REVEALED
We benefit nutritionally from many components found in foods that also happen to be rich in "direct" antioxidants, such as oranges, dark chocolate and red wine.
It is thought that if we eat these foods and many other direct antioxidant supplements, we would receive tremendous antioxidant rewards and reduce our total oxidative stress.
Science is proving that to be a myth.
Current scientific studies show that your body can't ingest enough antioxidants through food, juices or vitamins to equal the number of free radicals your body makes every day;
therefore failing to relieve oxidative stress. In fact, studies are also suggesting that consuming large amounts of direct antioxidant through supplements may result in antioxidants
reacting with oxygen in your system, resulting in the production of oxidants and increased oxidative stress.
Coming to light through LifeVantage is a discovery that our bodies produced their own free radical fighting enzymes that are so powerful they can completely reduce the age
dependent increase in oxidative stress. And with this discovery and the patented, clinically-proven product that causes our bodies to produce the enzymes,
a new opportunity for health and financial prosperity has begun.
Dr. Joe McCord
LifeVantage Director of Science
Dr. Joe McCord is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on the body’s antioxidant defense system. Dr. McCord has outstanding credentials, and he is featured
in Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s book, Chasing Life. Dr. McCord is credited with co-discovering the enzyme Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) in 1969, which marked the beginning
of the study of antioxidants and the impact on the human body. Thanks to his groundbreaking work, Dr. McCord is highly regarded in the field and has helped shape
the direction of antioxidant research over the years.
Free radicals are the molecules that outside the human body cause rust in metals or cause browning in sliced apples.
Free radical damage in the body is known as oxidative stress and plays a significant role in aging and cell damage.
As we get older, our oxidative stress levels increase significantly—our bodies can’t keep up with the free radicals produced through the metabolic process.
Protandim is the only supplement clinically proven to reduce oxidative stress by slowing down the rate of cell aging to the level of a
20 year old and eliminating up to one million free radical molecules a second without being used up in the process.*
We say that Protandim is a “true” product because it is founded in the true science of free radical biology.
By true, we mean that the science is backed by clinical studies, patents and is driven by one of the preeminent scientists
in free radical biology and one of the co-discoverers of that field of science, Dr. Joe McCord.
ELIMINATES UP TO ONE MILLION FREE RADICAL MOLECULES A SECOND, 24 HOURS A DAY, WITHOUT BEING DEPLETED.
