Making smart health choices begins with demanding excellence. You should know that we never accept anything less than the absolute best: our quality control standards actually exceed FDA mandates. Furthermore, Life Extension has earned GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) registration from NSF International — an independent organization that provides product manufacturing and testing standards for public health and the environment. We source only the best raw materials for our nutritional supplements. We only do business with the world’s most reputable suppliers, and all raw materials are carefully processed to preserve chemical complexity. So you know that what’s on our product label is what’s in your supplement. Nothing more … and certainly nothing less … goes into your body. Our innovative formulas are based on the latest research, but also something more … our passionate belief in a clinically validated, scientific approach to better nutrition. It’s been the bedrock of our business for over 35 years. And our accumulated body of knowledge makes it possible for us to develop unique formulations you won’t find anywhere else on the market. Simply put, unequaled experience leads to unmatched products. We are consistently recognized for our outstanding purity and quality by ConsumerLab, an organization that provides information that helps consumers as well as health-care professionals identify the best quality health and nutrition products. We test our raw materials using US Pharmacopeia and other exacting standards. And we consistently seek out better state-of-the-art methods and procedures. This constant pursuit of the latest scientific processes puts our products light years ahead of everyone else. We don’t just police ourselves, either. We often conduct reviews and evaluate the management procedures of outside providers, including both new and existing suppliers of raw materials destined for use in Life Extension nutritional supplements. At Life Extension, quality control continues even after our products are produced and packaged. We listen to our customers’ feedback, and if we see an opportunity to improve a product or formula, we do so. All consumers are welcome to request a Certificate of Analysis for any of our products. These documents contain the results of rigorous quality control testing which show that our products meet specifications and contain the exact ingredients stated on our labels. Life Extension introduced melatonin to America as an effective anti-aging therapy. After several books were published praising the multiple benefits of this natural hormone, virtually every health food store in the United States began selling it three years later in 1995 Life Extension revealed the crucial importance of monitoring blood levels for fibrinogen, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Since then, numerous studies have confirmed high levels of fibrinogen as a risk factor — just like high cholesterol levels. Life Extension conducted original research using carotid ultrasound tests to show that taking high doses of antioxidants over an extended period of time may provide some protection against atherosclerosis. Life Extension introduced a form of coenzyme Q10 —ubiquinol — that is far better absorbed into the bloodstream compared to commercial ubiquinone CoQ10 supplements, facilitating greater cellular energy production. Life Extension stressed the benefits of pomegranate, resveratrol, and quercetin in enhancing a little-recognized blood enzyme called PON-1 (paraoxonase-1). PON-1 levels decrease with age, which leads to a decline in the cardio-protective effect of HDL (good cholesterol). Pomegranate has been shown to elevate PON-1 activity and promote activity in the gene that governs PON-1 production. Optimized levels of PON-1 have demonstrated the ability to block lipid peroxidation, and may serve as a potent defense against heart disease, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, and certain cancers. To help support healthy blood pressure, Life Extension formulated a product featuring oleuropein, a compound found in the olive leaf, which has been shown to favorably modulate arterial resistance or stiffness. Life Extension created a specialized formula that supports adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation. Found in every cell, the AMPK enzyme serves as the body’s master regulating switch. Studies show that increased AMPK activity revitalizes aging cells, promotes mitochondrial production, and even supports healthy lipid and blood glucose levels already within normal range.
