As a Reiki Master/Teacher and Practitioner, I am always open to learning new ways to enhance my clients’ health. As part of that process, I’ve recently learned quite a bit about “free radicals” and “oxidative stress”.

What are free radicals, and what does oxidative stress mean? Free radicals are “rogue” molecules within your body that are caused by everyday normal activities like breathing and eating, as well as external factors such as pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke, and physical and emotional stress. These free radicals contribute to the cellular deterioration that is the cause of aging and many deadly diseases (see below for a partial list). The damage caused by free radicals is known as oxidative stress. What can you do to combat the effects of oxidative stress?

When you’re young, your body fights free radicals effectively by producing its own antioxidants, those molecules that are able to safely eliminate free radical molecules before damage is done. But as you grow older, your body produces less antioxidants to fight the battles of aging and disease. Unfortunately, antioxidant-rich foods and supplements can’t keep up with free radicals. That’s why I’m so excited to have discovered an herbal supplement called Protandim.

What is Protandim? It’s the only supplement on the market clinically proven to reduce oxidative stress by an average of 40%, slowing down the cell aging process to the level of a 20 year-old.* It is not a conventional antioxidant supplement; instead, it triggers your body’s cells to produce its own natural defenses, boosting the body’s production of antioxidant enzymes at the cellular level and eliminating free radicals at the amazing rate of one million per second! No foods or vitamins can do that!

PBS’s Healing Quest, the only television series focused entirely on the latest in integrative health and natural approaches to wellness, has an interesting segment on Protandim you can view here.

I’d be happy to answer any questions you have about Protandim, and to meet with you personally to review this amazing product.
