My 2-Week Protandim Experiment

A few weeks ago a college friend invited me to an info meeting about something called Protandim. I never heard of it and didn’t go because I was busy. But I still placed an order with her mostly to help a friend with her new business venture.

Protandim costs $40 a bottle and is branded as an “anti-aging supplement”. You tell me what women wouldn’t go for that? It’s all natural ingredients that reduce the oxidative stress levels in your body. According to their website:

“A single daily caplet of Protandim creates a cascade of your body’s natural catalytic antioxidants that are able to destroy millions of free radicals per second, on a continuous basis – 24/7. “

I took my first pill two weeks ago on August 5th. Here are a list of the noticeable differences:

• Ear problem almost gone - late July I started having a constant pulsing wave sound in my ear. The doctor said it was fluid in my ear. I tried ear candles, drops, hot pads, hair dryer. Still, it was there and loud, waking me in the middle of the night and not letting me get to sleep. It’s now about 95% gone!
• More energy – this was the first thing I noticed, which is like pure gold to a new mom. Months of sleepless nights left me incredibly tired, super crabby, horribly forgetful, and uninspired. The energy I felt wasn’t that hyper-I-had-too-much-coffee buzz. My creativity was back. My designs were great. I remembered what I did that morning.
• Clearer complexion – Because of all those sleepless nights, my skin was taking a beating. Mother nature was having a laugh giving me wrinkles and pimples at the same time. I actually looked for an anti-wrinkle-zit cream at Target. The wrinkles are still there but the bags under my eyes are smaller and the pimples gone. I even have a glow.
• Deeper sleep – This one is tricky because of the ear problem which plagued me for a couple weeks. Perhaps the sleep was deeper because by time I fell asleep I was insanely tired. For the past two nights with my ears much better I managed 8 solid hours of undisturbed sleep. Pure bliss.

Needless to say, I ordered another month’s supply. My husband has also been taking it and claims he hasn’t noticed any difference. Pushed a little harder, he has felt similar changes but credits a change in lifestyle. The first things friends say is “Perhaps it’s in your head?” Even if it is, I don’t care!

IMPORTANT: I don’t sell Protandim and am not trying increase my friend’s sales. I’m sure she’ll do fine without my help. I’m sharing this because all the information I found on the web was written by someone who sells the product which makes it hard to credit. I don’t sell it. I’m not getting any kick-backs or freebies.

I plan to do another update after a few more weeks to see if I noticed any other effects. Or if the ones I’m currently feeling are still there. So please check back.

Also, if you tried Protandim and aren’t selling it, I’d love to hear about your experience. Did it work for you?
