When scientists study longevity, they consider many factors, one of which is oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is an excess of free radicals. Many people don't understand free radicals, they only know they are bad and that antioxidants fight them. However, understanding the chemistry of free radicals gives an important perspective on aging. According to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, atoms and molecules are most stable when there is a pair of electrons circulating in their outer orbit. When a molecule or atom loses one of the electrons, it becomes a free radical and its quest becomes finding another molecule or atom to hook up with. Any substance or molecule that rips electrons away from another molecule is known as an oxidizing agent.

He stated that free radicals can damage tissues, cell membranes and DNA - disrupting our genetic information - which may lead to the initiation of certain health conditions. Free radicals can also oxidize the fats that make up the cell wall membrane and the membrane covering the nucleus of the cell, which can lead to cellular dysfunction and serious damage to the immune system and major organs.

However, cells aren't left defenseless in the battle against free radical damage. They are protected by antioxidants and enzymes that can neutralize free radicals. One of the key substances in cellular protection is glutathione.

Results of a peer-reviewed study, conducted by scientists at the University of Colorado Denver and Ochsner Medical Center and published online in the journal "Free Radical Biology and Medicine," demonstrated that the synergistic impact of the active ingredients used in the formation of Protandim dramatically increases the body's production of glutathione, as well as increases important antioxidant enzymes.

Dr. Joe McCord said, "The results of this study may change how we view aging and the factors that impact healthy aging. Notably, glutathione was increased more than 300 percent with Protandim. In addition to the findings on glutathione, the study also shows that Protandim delivers an antioxidant benefit to the body that exceeds those provided by vitamins E and C."

McCord added, "Contrary to popular belief, our bodies don't actually rely upon the intake of vitamins, such as C and E to maintain proper antioxidant balance; rather we utilize a complex network of antioxidant enzymes to maintain health and protect against oxidative stress. Protandim reduces oxidative stress by enhancing the body's entire network of antioxidant enzymes."

Scientists are well aware of the dangers caused by oxidative stress to the body and are eager to study the only product that has been clinically proven to make such a measurable difference. The science behind Protandim is unparalleled and it offers the promise of proven health benefits to anyone who takes the supplement.
