Default Protandim

Hello,

Just wanted to share something that's been very helpful to me!
Its a supplement called Protandim which I started taking about a month and a half ago. Over the past couple weeks I've seen a fairly dramatic improvement in my symptoms and general well being which has been really awesome.

*admin edit*

Anyway, my hope is that it can help some of you as much as it helped me.

I doubt the stuff is worth the high cost. Products that require Multi Level Marketing / Network Marketing are rarely as good as they claim. They need to be more forthcoming with their research before I would consider spending my money.

Anyway its basically a super antioxidant from what I understand. It's helped me to feel like i'm finally making progress and am generally less overstimulated by the world around me. I'm starting to drive more and actually spend time around more than one or two people. Although I still have a ways to go. I also feel calmer and a little more clear headed (but that might just be because im seeing progress) Either way I think its worth a try

If you want to know more I guess just look it up on pub med or google scholar.**

This product is a mixture of herbal supplements including turmeric, green tea, milk thistle and a couple other things. I’m glad it makes you feel better, but as Mark suggests if you buy this through Life Vantage you pay over a dollar a tablet for ingredients widely available in bulk at health food stores.

Clinical trials have been inconclusive and the company has been involved in at least one product recall and a couple of lawsuits. Not to dissuade folks for using something that is helpful, just passing along some additional information.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
