What is Oxidative Stress?

Oxidative stress represents an imbalance between the production and manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system’s ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage.

In plain English… when our bodies burn energy (from eating, breathing, exercising, living, etc.) our cells produce exhaust molecules. Those exhaust molecules are called “free radicals” and while we are young, our bodies produce millions of enzymes that gobble up those “free radical toxins” and function as a catalytic converter.

As we exit our 20’s, the Nrf2 pathways begin to misfire and our body begins the rapid decline in the production of those enzymes and the “free radical toxins” begin to increase in number resulting in “free radical damage”.  The basic “rusting” of our cells opens the door for disease states and we experience some of the downsides of the aging process (youth is wasted on the young!).

In humans, oxidative stress is involved in many diseases. Examples include Sickle Cell Disease, atherosclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, heart failure, myocardial infarction, Alzheimer’s disease and chronic fatigue syndrome. Oxidative stress is not a good thing!

While conventional or direct antioxidants can neutralize only one free radical molecule, Protandim triggers the creation of the enzymes (we made naturally when we were young) that can each eliminate over a million free radical molecules per second without being used up.

What does this have to do with Protandim?
Protandim is not an antioxidant – it is antioxidant therapy. This supplement turns on your body’s production of millions of your natural, God-given enzymes that eliminate “free radical toxins” at a rate of 1 million free radicals per second, 24 hours a day for the life cycle of the enzyme. It’s like installing a sprinkler system in your house to combat the house fire – the house is not destroyed.

Protandim is the only supplement clinically proven to reduce oxidative stress by an average 40%, slowing down the cell aging process to the level of a 20 year-old.* While conventional or direct antioxidants can neutralize only one free radical molecule, Protandim triggers the creation of enzymes that can each eliminate over a million free radical molecules per second without being used up.
