Real life RadAway.... Something seems wrong here though, I don't see don't any explanation for the mechansim of action.

  From the abstract of the paper, the mechanism for radioprotection is the antioxidant properties of this particular mixture of Mg, orthophosphate, and this short peptide. "Mn2+ coordinated by orthophosphate (Pi), metabolites, or peptides acts as a superoxide dismutase (SOD), and these Mn antioxidant complexes are universally accumulated in extremely radiation-resistant cell types across the tree of life." However, the paper is really just studying the chemical properties of the mixture to understand why it works as a better antioxidant than just Mg+Pi
