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

I don't know, seems a little steep to me for an herbal remedy. Don't like these things as a rule. But my wife is very big on antioxidants. So we're personally going to give it try. Don't have a clue how we're going to evaluate it though. The website makes no promise that you'll feel better if you go on it. So how would you know?

Incidentally, I understand why some people might think this is a scam. I think they're wrong, but I understand why they would say that. I'm no biochemist myself, but as I understand it, there isn't much debate any longer that free radicals are bad for us and/or that anti-oxidants neutralize them. Nor is there much question that ingestion of antioxidants is a pretty inefficient way to increase the their levels in our bodies. McCord seems to be a legitimate researcher, and this approach seems to be promising.

I manage a healthfood store and would not buy this unless they send me a sample. That's a lot for an anti-oxidant. There are a lot of really good quality products out there for less. Plus juicing helps a lot. I've seen this fanfare with pharma drugs and all other things that seem to tell the American people that they can sit on their butts and not do anything. No pill is a miracle. I don't sell diet pills because most of them don't work and don't work because people want a fast way out. That's why GNC, the fake healthfood store, is so popular. Whenever I ask people what their doctor said, it turns out that their doctor tells them to eat salmon and salad and exercise but they don't want to!
