Protandim vs TA-65

TA-65 is a supplement made by T.A. Sciences.   Protandim is a Nrf2 activator sold by LifeVantage.  How do they compare?  Lets do a quick summary:

TA-65 *Protandim
Company Profile Privately Held, No Public scrutiny or regulated standards *Public Trade (LFVN), open financials and regulated finances and industry requirements
Science Two Peer Reviewed studies by Dr Raffaele, paid for by the company *9 Peer Reviewed and Published Research on Protandim, 6 of which are independently funded.
Barriers to Market At least 1 patent *4 Patents
Timing I think its only available to be sold by certain doctors. *Timing very good, for anybody to participate
Claims Claims TA-65 turns on the hTERT gene which activates the enzyme telomerase which can lengthen your telomeres. *Claims to be a Nrf2 activator, this affects 500 genes in the DNA to upregulate the surivalgenes, this also generates the bodies response of antioxidant enzymes, lowers inflammation and helps product cancer fighting enzymes.Note: Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) has been found to guard against telomere shortening.
Cost Around $200 per month *$40 last a month, this is one bottle for one person.
3rd Party Media Some.  I did find a CBS News review. *Third party media on NBC, Wallstreet Journal, PBS, ABC Primetime, and dozens of Universities.(Note LifeVantage doesn’t pay for their own media, they rely on the network of distributors to share and promote as they see fit)
Competition There are a lot of telomeres supplements not sure how this one is more effective or not. *No other Nrf2 activators on the market with peer reviewed science.
Ingredient Details Processed Astragalus root.  Not sure about how, its proprietary. *Per Patents, its online, the exact formula of 5 natural herbal extracts.
