Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc., Denver, CO, has introduced Protandim, an anti-aging supplement. According to the company, this supplement allows the body to produce more of its own natural antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). The company also claims that Protandim has the proven ability to decrease oxidation by as much as 60% in humans in the first 30 days of intake, and this percentage is expected to increase further after prolonged supplementation. Protandim is currently undergoing human trials at the Webb-Waring Institute of Cancer, Aging and Antioxidant Research.
