Protandim Ingredients (The Real Deal Or Synthetics?)
Green tea extract; we see green tea in many energy drinks these days along with some supplements. Green tea is known for added energy and good for weight loss, used for cancers and has a little value as antioxidant but the list could go on. Green tea does have some antioxidants, but does a good job of stimulating our metabolism. 75mg In Protandim.
Some rare side effects with Green tea for some people may include Stomach upset and constipation. Green tea extracts have been reported to cause liver problems in very rare cases. Most have no problem with it and has been around for hundreds of years.
Bacopa; been known to man for many hundreds of year if not thousands. Benefits from Bacopa are great for an anxiety, along with helping people's memory. 150mg of Bacopa in Protandim ingredients.
Milk Thistle: Overall, silymarin has a good safety record with rare case reports of gastrointestinal disturbances and allergic skin rashes published, and especially with Protandim ingredients the dosage is relatively low, compared to the common therapeutic doses that are 2-3 times as much. It has been used for centuries as a detox and liver tonic. For over 2,000 years Europeans have used Milk Thistle seeds as an herbal treatment for liver disorders
Ashwagandha herb - also known as Indian winter cherry - is a shrub cultivated in India and North America whose roots have been used for thousands of years by Ayurvedic practitioners. The root contains Flavonoids and many active ingredients. Several studies over the past few years have looked into whether this herb has anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-stress, and antioxidant, mind-boosting, immune-enhancing and rejuvenating properties. Historically Ashwagandha root has also been noted to have sex-enhancing properties. Many people notice a relaxing effect within hours of taking a 500 mg pill. 150mg in Protandim.
Turmeric (Curcumin) the medicinal properties of this spice have been slowly revealing themselves over the centuries. Long known for its anti-inflammatory properties, recent research has revealed that turmeric is a natural wonder, proving beneficial in the treatment of many different health conditions from cancer to Alzheimer's disease. Protandim has 150mg.
Protandim Ingredients may offer many health benefits. With the other 5 herbs they all have their own strengths then when combined, I see how this maybe something very special. From what I have read it does unlock an enzyme that fights free radicals like nothing people have every seen before. To the point that they say I would have to eat 365 oranges or drink 87 glasses of red wine to have this same antioxidant defense for my body. That could get ugly (87 glasses wine), right?
It took Dr McCord over 40 years working on Protandim ingredients to get down to these 5 botanicals. He first started with 41 weeded out the ones that were unsafe with other herbs and ingredients. Some herbs that were used didn't add anything positive or was not effective so no reason to included them.
From the studying and findings I have done on Protandim ingredients I would have to say they are all "all natural."
