Protandim pills

Featured Replies

Has anyone ever heard of these 'miracle' pills Protandim, they are supposed to make you look younger yada yada yada. Apparently there are two versions to chose from nrf1 and nrf2. My wife has just decided she wants some, but they cost in the region of 5000฿ for two lots of 30 tablets, I suspect very strongly it is another scam, but is it?

Just another expensive quack product aimed at those who are naive. You are correct in your evaluation! 

Protandim is composed of:

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) extract (225 mg)

Bacopa (Bacopa monnieri) extract (150 mg)

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) root (150 mg)

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) extract (75 mg)

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) extract (75 mg)

 

It is supposedly going to help increase antioxident activity, but 3 separate random control trials found no such effect.

 

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA cracked down on the company which makes it lat year for illegal advertising claims .

Thanks for that Sheryl, very useful information.

Just eat mostly vegetarian without the dairy and little bit of meat and you should age reasonably well. 

 

Obviously processed foods, sugar, alcohol, smoking, unhealthy junk foods are not good for your body and ageing.
