LifeVantage's Protandim produces 300% rise in glutathione

1 December 2008

Results of a new peer-reviewed study published on-line in the journal Free Radical Biology and Medicine clearly demonstrates that the synergistic impact of the active ingredients used in the formulation of the antioxidant Protandim dramatically increases the body's production of glutathione, a key antioxidant and anti-aging factor, as well as important antioxidant enzymes.

Protandim, a patented product developed by LifeVantage, was proven by an earlier study to actually slow the progressive rate of aging. This new study confirms that the product's gene induction approach to antioxidant therapy provides much broader and more powerful benefits to the body than those provided by vitamins such as E and C, according to the company.

Joe McCord, a co-author of the report, commented: "the results of this study may change how we view aging and the factors that impact healthy aging. Notably, glutathione, which is of particular interest to many disease researchers, was increased more than 300% with Protandim. Glutathione plays a key role in the immune system and when glutathione levels drop, a person's ability to fight disease also decreases. In addition to the findings on glutathione, the study also shows that Protandim delivers an antioxidant benefit to the body that exceeds those provided by vitamins E and C."
