Facts about Protandim
Protandim is basically an antioxidant supplement formulated through natural extracts, and has a very different approach as compared to the traditional antioxidants towards attacking free radicals. While the traditional anti oxidants attack free radicals and other oxidants directly, Protandim tackles them by enhancing the network of anti oxidant enzymes inside the body.
The Superoxide Dismutase, Gultathione and Catalase enzymes are essential to killing free radicals inside our body, and also help to increase your age and lifespan. Protandim’s ingredients, as mentioned earlier, are naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, which are known to have health properties, and help to increase and energize the body’s antioxidant enzymes. Ingredients in Protandim include:
- Sylmarin which is extracted from Milk thistle is used primarily for improving the function and health of the liver.
- Curcumin, which is an extract of turmeric, is used to control inflammation inside the body and to prevent it.
- Polyphenolics, is an extract of Green tea, and is used to stimulate the metabolism and also to burn extra fat.
- Bacopasides is an adaptogen, that is a naturally occurring herb which helps to increase the body’s resistance to stress, anxiety and fatigue.
- Ashawagandha or Withanodiles is a traditional herb which is usually used in various Ayurvedic medications and therapies.
Protandim also helps to slow down your aging process by curbing the effects of oxidative stress which is caused by free radicals, which are known as destructive molecules and very much harmful for the internal environment of the body. Basically as we age, our body produces more free radicals, but at the same time a less proportionate number of anti oxidants to fight them back, which results in aging and chronic diseases.
Protandim contains anti oxidants which are not at all harmful to your overall health or your body, which are usually found in your normal diet, and helps to supplement them in their natural form. Conventional antioxidants include Vitamin A, C and E.
But before you start consuming Protandim as a regular supplement in your diet, please do consult your doctor, and search online for more information regarding its benefits. While a lot of research has been done the unique techniques through which Protandim helps to develop anti oxidants to fight against free radicals inside your body, it has over the past few months come under a lot of controversy towards its approach. While it is a known fact that the presence of bacteria and viruses is encouraged by a low pH level, they can be eliminated by consuming a more alkaline based diet, which consists of vegetables containing minerals and vitamins, especially Iron.
