I was taking MONA VIE infused with glucosamine for a while for its antioxidant benefits, but I feel like my body got used to it. I wasn't feeling a difference between taking it and not taking it. My chiropractor, Dennis Colonello, D.C., of Peak Wellness in Beverly Hills turned me onto Protandim (the ONLY thing clinically proven to reduce free radical damage). Protandim is not an antioxidant supplement. It helps your body produce its own antioxidants with thousands of times more antioxidant power than any food or conventional supplement.
Our bodies benefit from the vitamins and minerals found in foods known to be rich in antioxidants such as oranges, dark chocolate and red wine. We are told that if we eat these foods, and other foods like them, we’ll receive tremendous antioxidant rewards. To achieve maximum health, you need sources beyond your food to fill in the gaps.
Surprisingly, scientific studies show that your body can’t possibly ingest enough antioxidants to eliminate the number of free radicals your body makes every day. You would need to eat ridiculous amounts of foods rich in antioxidants (32 pounds of strawberries, 31 pounds of raspberries, 15 pounds of dark chocolate per day for example), to achieve the antioxidant power you get from one Protandim caplet each day. How cool is that?!
Aging factors can be measured accurately by the amount of TBARS (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances) found in the blood. In clinical trials with men and women, young and old, the blood samples consistently demonstrated that after 30 days, taking one caplet a day, test subjects realized a 40 percent average decrease in TBARS - the progressive aging rate of a 20 year old! Woo hoo!!!!
When you take Protandim, you trigger what your body already knows how to do, only better. You ‘tell’ your body to increase production of its own two antioxidant enzymes, which helps prevent free radical damage to your cells thousands of times more effectively than any conventional antioxidant therapy. Healthier cells mean a healthier immune system, and decreased chance of disease as you age.

So! Having said all of that... I'm definitley going to continue eating dark chocolate everyday  and enjoying red wine on occasion. I'll take Protandim to take care of my body's antioxidant needs.
