Great News for Alzheimer's Patients and Care Givers, Diabetics, Cardiovascular Sufferers, and Everyone On Planet Earth

Great news for Alzheimer's patients and care givers, diabetics, cardiovascular sufferers, and just about everyone on the planet suffering from Oxidative Stress - the underlying cause of most of our ills!

Imagine having a clinically tested supplement that is natural and has no known negative side effects and works 100% of the time to help erradicate our ills caused by pollution! It may not be the answer to Al Gore's problem of environmental pollution but it may be the answer for the pollution of our cell environment in our bodies!

Jump for joy folks! We have hope and a secret weapon to combat environmental pollution, or its effects on our cells, from the inside out!

Look at what I found in this study, "Synergistic Induction of Heme Oxygenase-1 by the Components of the Antioxidant Supplement Protandim."

"Oxidative stress plays a significant role in the progression of many diseases, including diabetes, Alzheimer disease (AD), and atherosclerosis [1–3]. Oxidative stress generally results from an

imbalance between free radicals generated during normal cellular metabolism and the free radical or oxidant scavenging capacity of the endogenous antioxidant enzymes......"

"Protandim is a dietary supplement designed to induce endogenous antioxidant enzymes. It consists of five herbal ingredients, namely, silymarin from milk thistle (Silibum marianum), bacopa (Bacopa monniera) extract, ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), green tea (Camilia sinesis) extract, and curcumin from turmeric (Curcuma longa). The therapeutic properties of each of these herbs have been previously reported [9–11]. However, to gain optimal beneficial effects, the individual components may have to be used at pharmacological doses not easily achieved by oral administration and that could cause toxic side effects. Therefore, Protandim was formulated with the concept of combining multiple phytochemicals at low doses to gain synergy among them. A recent study demonstrated that administration (675 mg/day for 120 days) of Protandim in human subjects resulted in 30–50% increases in the activities of the antioxidant enzymes SOD and catalase in erythrocytes [12]. Furthermore, the age-dependent increase in circulating TBARS seen before treatment was completely suppressed after intake of Protandim. No undesirable side effects were observed, suggesting that Protandim is a safe nutraceutical supplement." - Synergistic induction of heme oxygenase-1 by the components of the antioxidant supplement Protandim, click here to see more of original

PROTANDIM

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.

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.

LifeVantage Granted Third Patent for Protandim® and Method for Reducing Important Inflammation Bio-Marker C-Reactive Protein

Elevated Basal Levels of C-Reactive Protein Are Considered Risk Factors for Diabetes, Hypertension, and Cardiovascular Disease

LifeVantage Corporation (OTCBB: LFVN), has been granted a third patent for its flagship product Protandim® from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Protandim® has been clinically proven in earlier studies to slow the progressive rate of aging by reducing oxidative stress and this new patent further documents Protandim's® effect on antioxidant enzymes in vivo, describing anti-inflammatory effects such as the lowering of C-reactive protein.

C-reactive protein is widely considered by doctors and researchers as an indicator of the amount of inflammation present in the body. Elevated basal levels of C-reactive protein are considered risk factors for diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. The patent, "Methods for Enhancing Antioxidant Enzyme Activity and Reducing C-Reactive Protein Levels," was issued on August 25, 2009.

Dr. Joe McCord, one of the foremost authorities on the body's antioxidant defense system and the co-discoverer of the important antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase or SOD, said, "This patent further underscores the unique and powerful actions of Protandim® as a tool against not only oxidative stress, but also inflammation. Chronic, low-level inflammation is now known to be associated with many of the major diseases we face as we age, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, and neurodegenerative diseases."

David W. Brown, LifeVantage President and CEO commented, "The issuance of a third patent for Protandim® builds upon our previous two patents and further separates LifeVantage and Protandim® from other dietary supplements. It is difficult to receive a patent for a dietary supplement. Protandim® is uniquely and solidly based upon sound and proven science and the issuance of this third patent marks a historic day for LifeVantage, and sets an unparalleled standard in the dietary supplement industry."

Abstract of U.S. Patent No. 7,579,026: "Methods for Enhancing Antioxidant Enzyme Activity and Reducing C-Reactive Protein Levels":

An antioxidant-promoting composition that increases antioxidant defense potential in a subject is disclosed comprising Bacopa monniera extract; milk thistle extract, ashwagandha powder, green tea extract, Gotu kola powder, Ginko biloba leaf extract; Aloe vera powder; turmeric extract; and N-acetyl cysteine.

The antioxidant-promoting composition of the invention safely induces cellular antioxidant potential to achieve an overall net decrease in oxidative stress without the undesirable side-effects associated with the individual components of the antioxidant-promoting composition. Also disclosed is a method for reducing the undesirable side-effects of free radicals in a subject by administering to a subject in need of such antioxidants an effective amount of antioxidant-promoting composition of the invention.

About Protandim®

Protandim® is a clinically proven supplement that provides substantial benefits for healthy aging. This patented indirect antioxidant therapy works in a very different way than conventional foods such as red wine, oranges, blueberries or other popular antioxidant supplements. Unlike those types of 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. 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.

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 approximately 20 scientific studies at leading universities and research facilities. The nature and stages of the studies vary, as some of the testing is at a preliminary stage, while other studies using Protandim® are currently in progress.
