Turmeric is One Potent Ingredient in Protandim

One potent ingredient in Protandim is TURMERIC or luyang dilaw as known here in the Philippines. Aware of the healthy benefits we get from luyang dilaw, I have been using this to replace soy sauce when cooking adobo. As a supplement, turmeric is also part of the TMT (tanglad-malunggay-turmeric) capsule that we keep at home. When I learned about the benefits of Protandim to our health, primarily when i learned turmeric is part of it, I started taking the TMT capsule. And yes, I think turmeric is working. In an hour after taking the TMT, my blurry vision seem to have disappeared. But then this is just my observation, still have to research further on turmeric.

How I Met Protandim

My husband was invited to present aquaponics to a group of people in Quezon City, where we met Sam & Tita, Linda, Rey and Cory. After the presentation on aquaponics, Sam and Cory talked about "Protandim". Cory is from Mississippi and he's bringing Protandim to the Philippines.

Part of what was presented about Protandim is the below video shown on ABC primetime:


When we got home, we discussed about the breakthrough that looks amazing. Protandim is under the company Life Vantage which is distributing the product via Multi Level Marketing. On our part, more research has to be done on Protandim. Updates will be posted on the next articles.
