Protandim – what is it? Why all the fuss?
Protandim has been around for a few years but it is only in the last couple of years that it’s power has really been understood. Currently there are over 20 universities studying Protandim.
Protandim is a combination of 5 herbs. Herbs that are now recognized to be very powerful on their own, ie.,
- bacopa,
- ashwagandha,
- milk thistle,
- tumeric
- green tea.
However, these same herbs have been used for 1000s of years in different old medicine modalities.
Each of these herbs has many species. Each herb has been well studied. Each herb has a number of benefits to the body in and of themselves.
BUT together they form an incredible impact that effects us at the DNA level!!!
These herbs turn on what is now recognized as the genetic “survival pathways”. Your DNA consists of about 25,000 genes. It is now recognized that your genes are off/on switches. Unfortunately our survival genes are getting turned off because of:
- drugs,
- poor nutrient,
- low pH,
- deficiency in glutathione, magnesium and other nutrients
- oxidative stress and inflammation
BUT research is showing that Protandim turns these “survival pathways” back on again. These pathways include: endogenous anti-oxidants (made inside of each cell); anti-inflammatory pathways; and anti-fibrosis pathways.
More specifically, Protandim increases your glutathione (the body’s most powerful anti-oxidant) 300 times more within a month’s period!!!
Glutathione is hugely important in every cell of your body and for a huge number of functions. For more information on glutathione, click here.
Protandim also increases other endogenous anti-oxidants like Super Oxide Dismutase and Catalase.
Recent research has also shown that Protandim eliminates cancer cells by turning on apoptosis (preprogrammed death) at the genetic level of the cancer cell.
Recent research also shows that Protandim is an anti-aging formula for several different reasons.
1) most anti-oxidants are considered anti-aging because they reduce free radicals which cause accelerated aging.
2) Protandim increases glutathione which does the following:
- a) decreases free radicals millions of times more effectively than food or supplement ingested anti-oxidants
- b) glutathione is also the only molecule known to promote growth of teleomeres – lots of anti-oxidants protect teleomeres from further breakdown but glutathione is the only one that promotes growth of new ones
