PROTANDIM is a mixture of 5 herbal supplements, which help to regulate the body’s own production of antioxidants. Protandim was found useful in preventing and treating of about 126 diseases and medical conditions, from tinnitus to aging, from hemorrhoids to cancer. Protandim helps to reduce the oxidative stress, which is an important contributor to cancer development. Protandim suppresses tumor formation, due to inducing the oxidative stress, cell proliferation, and inflammation.
Protandim activates the body’s natural ability to reduce age-related symptoms on the cellular level.
PROTANDIM is scientifically proven to reduce oxidative stress and there are over 14 clinical journals published that. It can be found at PubMed an online library of scientific journals and other research papers.
Oxidative stress is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the ability of the body to detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidants.
Oxidative stress have been caused many pathophysiological conditions:
One capsule of Protandim (675 mg) consists of the following:
Bacopa monnieri (Brahmi) might increase certain brain chemicals that are involved in thinking, learning, and memory.

- Gene mutations and cancers
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Fragile X syndrome
- Heart and blood vessel disorders, heart failure, and heart attack

- Flavonoid complex Silymarin is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, which in the liver acts as detoxifier; silymarin increases level of antioxidant enzyme and stimulates synthesis of protein in liver that promotes producing new liver cells instead damaged cells. Silymarin inhibits the synthesis of mediators of inflammation, which is beneficial in treating psoriasis. Silymarin is found as successful medicine in treating alcohol-related liver disease. New researches discovered also cancer-fighting properties of silymarin, which inhibits the proliferation of blood vessels, and accordingly inhibits feeding the tumor’s cells. [3]
- Linoleic acid (Omega-6) that promotes biosynthesis of the prostaglandins, which are responsible for the regulation of the human metabolism.
- Sterols (including sitosterols), which are anti-ageing and moisturizing agents.
- Mucilage, which is universally moistener mucous membranes, even it don't come into contact with them (reflex effect).
- Proteins, as a nutrients, and is the rich source of the natural vitamin E.
