Donny Osmond, the 2009 "Dancing with the Stars" champion, said he had discovered what he called his own "fountain of youth"--Protandim--during his appearance on the Dr. Phil show. Donny added that he has taken Protandim for two years at his doctor's recommendation and has experienced many health benefits and anti-aging results.
"This continues to be an exciting time for Protandim and LifeVantage," said LifeVantage President and CEO, Douglas C. Robinson. "There is an ever increasing number of Nrf2 studies in many of the most respected universities and institutions around the world. It is also gratifying to know that Protandim is of such interest that people have been typing 'Protandim' in Google searches more than any other word recently."
About Protandim, the Nrf2 Synergizer
Protandim(R) is a clinically demonstrated supplement that provides substantial benefits for healthy aging. Nrf2 is a protein messenger contained in every cell of the body. When activated, Nrf2 enters the cell nucleus and turns on hundreds of survival genes, defensive, stress responsive, cytoprotective genes that enable cells to survive in the face of several different kinds of stress, particularly oxidative stress. This patented Nrf2-activating therapy works in a very different way than conventional antioxidant supplements. Unlike vitamin or carotenoid-containing products that have proven to be largely ineffective in reducing oxidative stress caused by free radicals, Protandim is an indirect antioxidant therapy, which stimulates the body's production of its own powerful antioxidant enzymes and other stress-related gene products. Protandim works at the cellular level, triggering cells to naturally increase production of protective antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione synthase, while decreasing production of pro-inflammatory signals. A peer-reviewed human clinical study showed that after Protandim was taken for 30 consecutive days, important biochemical markers of aging were decreased by an average of 40%. The study also reported that these markers of aging were reduced in the subjects taking Protandim to the level of a typical 20 year old. Protandim is currently the subject of several scientific studies at universities and research facilities. The nature and stages of the studies vary. Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, Protandim is considered a "dietary supplement". Protandim is not intended for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or cure of any disease.
