LifeVantage Study Reveals Synergistic Effects Of Protandim Nrf2 Synergizer And TrueScience Liquid Collagen
LifeVantage Corporation (NASDAQ:LFVN), a leading health and wellness company with products designed to activate optimal health processes, today announced that Company scientists have completed a study on the impact Protandim® Nrf2 Synergizer® and TrueScience® Liquid Collagen have on cellular health. The study results showed that when combined, the products work together to help cells accurately respond to stress levels and recover more quickly, supporting the body's immune function.
"When cells are stressed they send out signals asking for help from the immune system," explained Lisa Barnes, Vice President of Research & Development. "However, even after the stressor is eliminated, it can be common for this signaling to continue, causing the immune system to waste precious energy trying to fix a problem that no longer exists. This unchecked cycle can lead to significant health concerns. The synergistic benefits of Protandim® Nrf2 Synergizer® and TrueScience® Liquid Collagen, help break this repetitive stress cycle by reducing unnecessary signaling, allowing cells to get back to their optimal function, which in this case is producing collagen."
Barnes continued, "The study shows why people are seeing such incredible results with these two products. Together, they create a potent combination that drives cellular rebalance, helping to ensure cells are functioning properly. It's like sending your cells to a day at the spa, like the effect people are trying to achieve with ice plunges or cryotherapy. It's amazing how these two products work with your body to support its natural functions."
"The results of this study are further proof that LifeVantage's unique emphasis on activation provides the optimal approach to health and wellness," said Steve Fife, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "Our products are clearly differentiated and have demonstrated their effectiveness in amplifying the body's natural processes to improve health starting at the cellular level. The science behind our products is one of the pillars of LifeVantage's competitive strength and supports the compelling business opportunity we offer for entrepreneurial minded individuals."
Scientific Investigation Spurred by the Consumer Experience
The study was designed after consumers provided significant anecdotal evidence about unexpected, positive results in gut health, joint health, along with improvements in overall energy and clarity. To understand why, Barnes and team devised a study in three parts: a dose-finding study, a gene expression study to verify dose timing and concentration, and a global gene expression study using RNA sequencing.
Specifically, the study looked at the products' influence on fibroblasts. Found throughout the body, fibroblasts produce and organize components of the skin that act as the scaffold or support for the skin through proteins, including collagen, elastin, and laminin. Fibroblasts not only produce collagen and other proteins that make up the extracellular matrix for the skin, but they also perform the same function for other organs, such as the intestines, spleen, brain, lung, liver, kidney, and blood vessels.
The gene expression study showed 13,195 genes distributed over 18,671 cellular pathways were influenced in the fibroblasts. Around 21% (2,786 genes) were significantly up, or downregulated either by Protandim Nrf2 Synergizer®, TrueScience® Liquid Collagen, or a combination of the two. Of the 2,786 genes measured, the combination of the two products synergistically influenced 2,439 genes (p<0.05), of which 418 genes (17%) were significantly up- (195 genes) or downregulated (223 genes).
