Step right up, getcher Fountain of Youth pills right here, get them while they last, they're going like hot cakes here!

Can you combine it with Viagra and that anti-premature E pill...just wondering...research purposes for a friend.

[Thommas]

Hmmm.

But will Medicare cover it? If it prolongs life, it would be self defeating for the Government prescription plan..

[fso301]

So why is this being broadcast as a medical breakthrough before it's been tried out on mice?

[Lathspell]

I think you can combine it, yes. Check out their FAQ at protandim.com

Disclaimer: I have no interest, financial or otherwise, in Protandim. My physician wife saw Primetime last night and thought the segment on Protandim was very interesting.

Ill news is an ill guest.

I bet there are alot of empty PC chairs right now. In fact, is that the shuffling of old feet and the squeak of wheel chairs I hear?

Living for 150 years would be murder on the Social security system, and just about any other underfunded saving plan.

[Lathspell]

It has been successfully tested on mice.

[Lathspell]

Lol...I loved that line, as you can tell!

[Mr. Mojo]

....the ingredients in Protandim lowered the test subject's level of oxidative stress.

Lotta effective antioxidants out there.

[Lathspell]

Mmmmmmm . . . Single malt scotch!

Great, now retirement age will be 1000.

Do you know how badly something like this could screw up society if people stopped dying?

Who gets the pills first? who is worthy to live longer?

Social security? yeah right.

massive changes would be necessary to accomadate millions of people living beyond what we do today. Lifespans have been inscreasing slowly. Sudden inscrease will create many problems.

And a new wave of spam is born.

It's amazing how behind the 8 ball the media is. This information has been available over 25 years.

A healthy diet, nonsmoking and exercise with proper supplementation will give you the same result as this so called youth pill.

This pill will never get results because the only people who will use it are people who have abused themselves and are looking for a quick fix.

[CDHart]

I went to www.protandim.com -- it's $49.95 for a 30-day supply -- might be worth trying?

Don't worry, this is just another scam.

My physician wife saw Primetime last night and thought the segment on Protandim was very interesting.

I'm neither a physician nor a wife, and I thought it was interesting, too. There's nothing new about linking aging with free radicals, but this does seem to be an especially effective antioxidant mix. The research looked kosher.

[dartuser]

Isnt broccoli one of them ?

[chaosagent]

Tests on both mice and humans have already shown that it revs up the body's manufacture of those enzymes
