L-Arginine Plus vs Protandim
I’m often asked this question. I suppose there are many products that claim to ‘work’.. so lets compare L-Arginine Plus and Protandim.
Both products cost about the same amount.
L-Arginine Plus is a secret formula not disclosed. Protandim has 3 patents with a the formula publicly declared.
L-Arginine Plus is made by a privately held company, LifeVantage who makes Protandim is publicly traded, with full financial disclosure.
Protandim (the product not ingredients) has 7 peer reviewed and published studies, with dozens more under the works by 3rd party universities and labratories, L-Arginine Plus’s (the product) has none, however studies on its proprietary ingredients have been published.
Some L-Arginine Plus ingredients have received official warnings, including those with diabetis and those who have had a heart attack, Protandim’s ingredients have none. ( to be fair, I think L-Arginine Plus is generally safe, with some unique exceptions, however there is contrast on product risk here in terms of the comparison)
L-Arginine Plus’s focus seems to be on Cardio Health only, while Protandim addresses a list of conditions all very related to oxidative stress.
SUMMARY: Generally L-Arginine Plus seems to be a good product, reasonably priced, but doesn’t compare the scope and research quality of Protandim. However, those consumers with specific cardio issues, might find it worthy to add to their routine (in addition to Protanim) L-Arginine Plus, which is likely helpful, but L-Arginine Plus alone will not replace Protandim since its much more comprehensive.
