After a series of comprehensive research studies and a governmental research initiative, a respected team of radiation biologists and antioxidant scientists at Premier Micronutrient Corporation has developed BioShield-Radiation® - a patented micronutrient formulation specifically designed to address oxidative stress produced by ionizing radiation.

Now offered for the first time direct to the public via the new http://www.bioshieldpill.com website and the only product of its kind on the market, BioShield-Radiation® contains a unique, proprietary combination of dietary and endogenous antioxidants which have each exhibited radiation protection capabilities. Completely safe and maximally effective in decreasing oxidative stress as demonstrated in numerous scientific studies, BioShield-Radiation® is recommended for:

- Patients undergoing medical or dental x-ray procedures, including CT, nuclear, mammography, and fluoroscopy

- Anyone regularly exposed to elevated levels of ionizing radiation such as healthcare, aviation, military and nuclear power plant personnel, as well as people living in high radon homes and environments

- Frequent fliers (on average, the amount of cosmic radiation roughly doubles with every 6500-foot increase in altitude)

In addition to being offered direct to the public, BioShield-Radiation® is now available for purchase by hospitals, imaging centers, physician practices and dental facilities as well.

Genesis of BioShield Radiation

The U.S. Pentagon's search for ways to protect its personnel from the adverse effects of radiation they might encounter led them to Premier Micronutrient Corporation (http://www.mypmcinside.com), co-founded by Dr. Kedar Prasad, the first person to receive a Ph.D. in radiation biology in the United States. Because of the company's unparalleled expertise in antioxidant science, it was encouraged to develop an approach to radiation protection on a biologic basis that entailed close research collaboration with the Department of Defense and NASA and which - among other important applications - ultimately led to the development of the BioShield-Radiation® pill.
