How is Protandim^® different from other antioxidant supplements?
Protandim is not an antioxidant supplement. The unique phytonutrients in Protandim signal the genes in your cells to produce special antioxidant enzymes which provide thousands of times more antioxidant power than any food or conventional supplements.* Unlike "consumable" antioxidants from food or supplements, which are used up on a one-to-one basis, each antioxidant enzyme produced in the cells neutralizes thousands of free radicals before expiring.*

Can I buy the ingredients separately and get the same benefits?
Protandim is made up of extracts of its five main ingredients blended into a very specific formulation. A recent study has confirmed that the precise synergy of the blend is what makes Protandim many times more effective than the ingredients taken individually.* In addition, many of the ingredients are extracted from the botanical source you might purchase in a health food store.

If I take Protandim, should I stop taking vitamins and antioxidant supplements?
Vitamin supplements, such as vitamins C and E, help sustain healthy bodily functions. But these popular antioxidants do not effectively fight the free radicals that promote oxidative stress, aging and some health conditions. Protandim is proven effective in providing your body with thousands of times more antioxidant power than conventional supplements.*

Does Protandim reverse the effects of aging?
Protandim is not sold as a "fountain of youth pill." The aging process, and cellular aging in particular, has a significant relationship to oxidative stress, and Protandim has been shown to reduce oxidative stress and slow the rate of cell aging in a human clinical study.*

Is one study enough to claim the benefits of Protandim?
Yes. When clinical studies are conducted, researchers are required to conduct a "power analysis" to determine the minimum number of patients required to show the effectiveness of a drug treatment or intervention. For Protandim, a power analysis was conducted to determine the sample size for a human study. The result of the power analysis for Protandim showed that a human study including at least 13 patients would give statistically significant results. While the Protandim clinical study with 29 patients is sufficient to demonstrate the effectiveness from a scientific perspective, additional studies are underway to validate the initial results as well as provide additional benefits relating to specific health conditions.
