Protandim Activates the Antioxidant Defense

Superoxide dismutase, better known as SOD, is an important antioxidant defense in nearly all cells exposed to oxygen. LifeVantage Scientific Advisory Board Member Dr. Joe McCord discovered this enzyme in 1969. SOD is turned on by Nrf2 and is made by most cells to detoxify superoxide, a compound that the immune system deploys to destroy invading microorganisms.

Nrf2 - The Master Regulator
  • Nrf2 fights oxidative stress.
  • Nrf2 helps the body regulate at peak efficiency.

Nrf2, a protein messenger that binds itself to DNA, is the master regulator of the body's aging process and is critical in the fight against oxidative stress.

 

Nrf2 communicates with cells, instructing them to do what they're already designed to do. When activated, Nrf2 enters the nucleus of a cell and up-regulates "survival genes," genes that enable cells to survive in the face of stress from free radicals and other oxidants, and down-regulates other genes that promote inflammation and fibrosis to help the body function at an optimal level.
