Brief Note on Protandim Bait and Switch

Fight Aging!

Do you want to live a longer life in good health? Simple practices can make some difference, such as exercise or calorie restriction. But over the long haul all that really matters is progress in medicine: building new classes of therapy to repair and reverse the known root causes of aging. The sooner these treatments arrive, the more lives will be saved. Find out how to help »

Lifeline Neutraceuticals will be launching their Protandim brand pills fairly soon. This seems to be an appropriate time to remind those interested in supplements that these pills are not the same as the protandim (or CMX-1152) compound tested by Ceremedix and widely discussed in the healthy life extension community.

CereMedix's peptide technology for decreasing age-related deterioration, resulting from accelerating and cumulative oxidative damage has the potential to be of major benefit in this regard. One potential candidate for the healthy life expectancy has already been identified, CMX-1152. This is an orally available, naturally occurring peptide, which has demonstrated improved longevity in mice.

As I noted previously, the Lifeline product doesn't appear to be at all related to CMX-1152.
