The Protandim Family
LifeVantage is a company using science to approach health differently – we are focused on understanding the major scientific theories of aging and addressing the root causes to be able to take a proactive approach to increasing healthspan.
We specialize in Nutrigenomics – using Nutrients to affect gene expression. Put simply, we use nutrients to tell our bodies how to help themselves.
It all started almost half a century ago, when science proved that our bodies have built in abilities to keep themselves healthy. Two decades ago, a discovery proved that we could tap into those abilities by communicating with our genes through nutrients.
Give Your Cells a Fighting Chance
The discovery that started it all. One of the leading theories of aging is the oxidative stress theory. It is based on the fact that our cells are constantly bombarded by free radicals (we call the subsequent damage “oxidative stress”). Our bodies naturally produce antioxidants to fight oxidative stress, but our antioxidant production begins to decline in our early twenties. Protandim Nrf2 Synergizer was sculpted to activate the Nrf2 pathway, a pathway responsible for antioxidant production. With peer-reviewed studies conducted by the likes of Harvard, Ohio State, the American Journal of Physiology and many more, Protandim Nrf2 Synergizer has been shown to reduce oxidative stress by 40% in just 30 days.*
Take the Power Back
After Protandim Nrf2 Synergizer, we turned our focus to the mitochondrial theory of aging. It is based on the fact that our mitochondria are literally powering everything in our bodies, from our heartbeat to our brain cells and all those ab crunches you may or may not be doing (no judgement here). Unfortunately, our mitochondria decline over time or when stressed. So, we set out to see if we could activate the NRF1 pathway, a pathway responsible for mitochondrial health. After years of research, we launched Protandim® NRF1 Synergizer. Scientifically formulated to help your cells support mitochondrial function.*
Beyond NAD
Recently, scientists have been sharing the immense importance of proteins called sirtuins. Studies are showing sirtuin activity comes with a cascade of health benefits. Including supporting a healthy vascular system, maintaining cholesterol levels already in the healthy range, supporting the body’s healthy inflammatory response, supporting joint health, heightening mental focus, improving mood, motivation, energy, and much more. However sirtuin activity declines as we age (≃60%).
Researchers have discovered that sirtuin activity can be increased through drastic caloric restriction (reducing calories by 40-60%). A typical caloric restriction diet can increase sirtuin activity 94%. Obviously this drastic approach runs the risk of nutrient deficiency and is not recommended without medical supervision.
So, with the knowledge that sirtuin activation requires the molecule NAD, we went to work. Protandim® NAD Synergizer was specifically formulated to target NAD, and has been shown to double sirtuin activity in 24 hours, supporting increased health, focus, energy, mental clarity, and mood.
