What the Science Shows

Protandim has been shown in two human clinical trials to significantly increase the production of the body's own antioxidant enzymes, which are vastly superior in neutralizing free radicals and minimizing oxidative stress.



Human study #1 (2006)

 After 30 days, Protandim completely eliminates the age-dependant increase in oxidative stress.

 After 120 days, Protandim raises production of catalase 54% and SOD 34%. Protandim also increased production of approximately 20 additional antioxidant enzymes.

Human study #2 (2008)

 Production of glutathione, a key antioxidant compound, is increased 300%.

 Protandim's synergistic formulation provides many times the antioxidant power than any food or conventional supplements.

Study #1 (2009)

 Protandim prevented the formation of scar tissue in the heart.

 It also increased the expression of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic genes.

 Protandim lowered levels of osteopontin by 50%: osteopontin leads to scar tissue formation and contributes to heart failure.

Study #2 (2009)

 Protandim produced significant increase in the expression levels of SOD and catalase.

 Skin tumor incidence was reduced 33%-57%.


Study #3 - Independently sponsored by American Heart Association and the National Institute of Health (2011)


 Protandim was shown to inhibit the growth of cells that contribute to blockage of arteries and blood vessels.

 Researchers found that Protandim increased the production of the body's Nrf2 signaling molecules.

 They also found that Protandim suppressed the over-proliferation of cells that line blood vessel walls and contribute to blood vessel blockage.

Published Research Studies

 Protandim has been scientifically validated over and over in independently funded peer-reviewed published studies (the gold standard of medical research) conducted at major universities. You can view this scientific breakthrough information at the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s website. See studies below!

Protandim has been studied by numerous universities in their own funded trials because scientists who know about the true science of oxidative stress are so excited about the potential. Here are the 11 independently funded peer-reviewed published studies on Protandim:

Protandim


Peer-Reviewed Published Studies show Protandim increases levels of the anti-aging enzymes: 

Superoxide Dismutase by 30%
Catalase by 54%
Glutathione by 300%

Due to growing excitement and an expanding knowledge of Protandim's capabilities, numerous more universities have initiated and funded more of their own studies of Protandim. 
Some of these new studies have concluded and can be viewed at www.pubmed.gov
