Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress is essentially an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidants. - Dr Ananya Mandal, MD

Antioxidants help our bodies fight free radicals. But our bodies, over time, stop combating them as well. And so the free radicals start to break down our cells and cause aging.

What are the effects of Oxidative Stress on our bodies?

Oxidative stress leads to many pathophysiological conditions in the body. Some of these include neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, gene mutations and cancers, chronic fatigue syndrome, fragile X syndrome, heart and blood vessel disorders, atherosclerosis, heart failure, heart attack and inflammatory diseases. - Dr Ananya Mandal, MD

So the more antioxidants that we have in our system, the less likely we are to develop, or maintain symptoms of these diseases.

So how can we get more anioxidants?

Astaxanthin is touted to be a super antioxidant. But is there a way to get even stronger antioxidants? Some say that the Nrf2 and Nrf1 activators can reprogram our bodies to make our own antioxidants.

It's said that the Nrf2 and Nrf1 activators can create a 1,000,000:1 antioxidant levels versus standard antioxidants like blueberries which only do 1:1. Combining the Nrf2 activator for the antioxidants, and the Nrf1 activator to increase mitochondria production, our bodies start to eradicate the free radicals in our bodies. We start to see our oxidative stress levels being decreased by up to 40% according to some studies.

But where can we find such a supplement?

LifeVantage has created the proprietary supplement called Protandim. Dr. Mchord developed this supplement and with the help of LifeVantage, is now marketing it all over the world. For a few years, it was in stores like GNC. But the little blue bottle doesn't adequately tell the story of the power of the little yellow pill inside. So the company decided to take it to network marketing as a way to get the story out.

No claims are allowed to be made about cures, treatments, or diagnosis. We are only allowed to talk about it's potent power to fight oxidative stress in our bodies. This has even been given to pets (dogs and horses) with amazing results on a case-by-case basis.
