Peer-Reviewed Research

Protandim Studies

LifeVantage is deeply rooted in science. Science is at the heart of everything we do. Our flagship product, Protandim®, the Nrf2 Synergizer®, has been validated by peer-reviewed studies conducted in the laboratories of respected universities such as The Ohio State University, LSU and the University of Colorado Denver. The results of these studies have been published in mainstream medical journals such as “Free Radical Biology & Medicine” and “Enzyme Research.” Below are summaries of these peer-reviewed studies:
