Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits and green vegetables. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while preventing its oxidation. Vitamin C is a vital co-factor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth.

More vitamin C is contained in the adrenal glands than any other organ in the body and is required at higher levels during times of stress. Physical stresses on the body such as ingestion of heavy metals, cigarette smoking, infections,45 extreme temperatures, and chronic use of certain medications such as aspirin also signal the need for increased intake of vitamin C.

Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits and green vegetables. An important antioxidant, vitamin C protects the body from free radicals and fights oxidative stress, both of which threaten the immune system. In fact, a major immune-supporting activity of vitamin C is boosting glutathione levels in human lymphocytes, cells that make up about 25% of all white blood cells in the blood.

Scientists have determined that the body needs high levels of vitamin C during periods of stress.

Calcium Citrate
300 Capsules

Calcium is the most popular mineral supplement on the market, yet certain calcium compound in tablet form are often poorly absorbed by the digestive systems of older people. The Life Extension Foundation Buyers Club supplies calcium supplements and almost all other mineral only in the form of finely divided mineral powders within capsules that easily disintegrate in the stomach for optimal absorption. Studies have also shown that certain compounds of some minerals are absorbed better than others.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body where it is primarily found in bones and teeth. In bone formation, calcium forms crystals that provide strength to maturing bone. Peak bone mass is usually achieved when people are in their twenties.

Benefits of calcium supplements

Calcium is needed for more than just healthy bones. It is also important for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system. A meta-analysis of  clinical trials demonstrated a significant impact on heart health resulting from increasing calcium intake by 1000 to 2000 mg/day. In addition, recent evidence suggests that increased intake of calcium may help in weight control as well.

Calcium and other minerals are best not taken with fiber, because fiber can interfere with their absorption. There is evidence that calcium supplements and dairy foods may inhibit iron absorption, although it has been very difficult to distinguish between the effects of calcium on iron absorption versus other inhibitory factors such as phytate.

Therefore, if you are iron deficient, it may be best to avoid taking calcium with meals. Calcium supplements are best administered at dinner and/or bedtime. They should always be taken with a full glass of water, juice, or other liquid to enhance solubility. If calcium supplements are taken only once daily they may be best taken in the evening.

Calcium Magnesium Powder
1 kilogram

Calcium/Magnesium Powder is a good source of elemental calcium and magnesium for healthy people. It is best used as a buffering agent, added to acidic vitamins in solution to neutralize their pH. The presence of the acid will ionize the calcium and magnesium, greatly aiding their absorption.

The B vitamins are used in the body individually or in combination with enzymes to help release energy from carbohydrates, fat, and protein. Vitamin B coenzymes are crucial to the metabolic pathways that generate the energy needed by every cell in the body. Because they are codependent in their metabolic activities, a deficiency of any of the B complex vitamins can affect optimal functioning of organ systems throughout the body.

Not all B complex vitamins are the same

Many B-complex products contain equal amounts of each B vitamin; however, the optimal amount of some B vitamins is higher than others. For example, studies have shown that pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) has an ideal daily dose of over 700 mg. Complete B-Complex contains potent, but safe, and different amounts of the B complex vitamins.

Life Extension Multivitamin Mix
490 Caps

Consumers take dietary supplements to obtain concentrated doses of some of the beneficial nutrients (such as folic acid) that are found in fruits and vegetables. Many multivitamins, however, do not provide all the vital plant components that scientists have found are needed to maintain good health. Life Extension Mix is formulated based on published findings showing that consuming lots of fruits and vegetables dramatically lowers the risk of health problems. Life Extension Mix provides concentrations of the fruit and vegetable extracts that researchers have found protect against a wide variety of cellular insults. A Johns Hopkins study found from 1999-2002, only 28% and 32% of American adults met the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines for fruit and vegetable intake, respectively.

Pyridoxamine and Free Radicals

 In addition, vitamin D levels have been boosted to 1000 IU to address a growing body of research that indicates the importance of higher vitamin D levels.

Multivitamins and Antioxidants
The power of cocoa polyphenols

An abundance of new research shows that the unique polyphenols in cocoa provide broad-spectrum benefits to the arterial system. Based on studies showing that cocoa polyphenols are extremely effective in neutralizing free radical activity and have been shown to contain more antioxidant polyphenols than any other food, standardized cocoa polyphenol extract s are contained in Extension Mix formula. Cocoa polyphenols offer the cardiovascular benefits of cocoa without fat or calories and contain the same amount of polyphenols as a 1/4 serving (about 0.5 ounces) of a dark chocolate bar.

Life Extension has upgraded its Life Extension Mix formulation to include 50 mg of pyridoxamine, a potent form of vitamin B6. Pyridoxamine helps block the formation of advanced glycation end (AGE) products, enhances glucose metabolism and consumes toxic free radicals. It is considered to be the most effective anti-AGE and antiaging vitamin.

60 Vegetarian Tablets

To achieve the best possible benefits from dietary supplements, sufficient potencies must be consumed on a daily basis. While Life Extension Mix is used by many individuals, some people prefer not to take nine tablets per day, even though they want the high potencies of vitamins and supplements that Life Extension Mix provides. This has frustrated health conscious individuals who want to recommend a one-per-day supplement to those they care for.

There are studies showing that low potency supplements may not provide significant benefits. On the flip side are nutrients like folic acid for which nutritional benefits result from any dosage taken in supplemental form. The same holds true for micronutrients like zinc, for which mortality reductions correlate with the consumption of relatively small amounts from supplements.

In response to requests for a scientifically based one-per-day supplement, Life Extension has compounded a formula that provides the greatest potencies of nutrients that can be contained in one tablet.

The Life Extension One-Per-Day Tablet provides essential vitamins and nutrients in one tablet, with greater potencies than other leading “one-a-day” supplements.

Vitamin K1 is obtained in the diet primarily from dark leafy vegetables (lettuce, spinach, and broccoli). Unfortunately, vitamin K1 is tightly bound to the chlorophyll in green plants, thus, aging humans are not always able to benefit from ingested K1-containing plants. While vitamin K1 is not absorbed particularly well from food, it is absorbed from supplements, provided that the supplements are taken with meals.

Vitamin K2 (menaquinones) is found in meat, eggs, and dairy products and also made by bacteria in the human gut, which provides a certain amount of the human vitamin K requirement. Human studies show that vitamin K2 is absorbed up to ten times more than K1. Vitamin K2 remains biologically active in the body far longer than K1. For instance, K1 is rapidly cleared by the liver within eight hours, whereas measurable levels of K2 have been detected 72 hours after ingestion.

Super K provides vitamin K1, and two forms of vitamin K2 known as menaquinone-4 and menaquinone-7. The menaquinone-7 form of vitamin K is not metabolized quickly by the liver, thereby making it available to provide a more consistent supply of vitamin K to the body.

An abundance of human clinical data reveals that vitamin K plays a critical role in maintaining healthy bone density by facilitating the transport of calcium from the bloodstream into the bone. Scientists are getting to understand that vitamin K is also required by calcium-regulating proteins in the arteries. Matrix Glaprotein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent protein, and must be carboxylated to function properly; poor vitamin K status results in synthesis of uncarboxylated MGP (ucMGP). Since MGP is a potent local inhibitor of arterial calcification, MGP is important in relation to the health of the entire cardiovascular system. Without adequate vitamin K, calcium in the blood can bind to the arterial wall resulting in calcification. As people age, even a subclinical vitamin K deficiency can pose risks to the vascular system.

The Rotterdam Heart Study, a large-scale, well-controlled clinical trial that tracked 4,800 participants for seven years, revealed that participants who ingested the greatest quantities of vitamin K2 in their diet experienced a better cardiovascular condition than people who ingested the least. High intakes of vitamin K2 also corresponded to less calcium deposition in the aorta, whereas participants who ingested less K2 were more likely to show moderate or severe calcification. Animal studies suggest vitamin K intake not only blocks the progress of further calcium accumulation but also induces 37% regression of preformed arterial calcification.

Tocotrienols with Sesame Lignans
60 Softgels

The term “vitamin E” refers to a family of eight related, lipid-soluble, antioxidant compounds widely distributed in plants. The tocopherol and tocotrienol subfamilies are each composed of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta fractions having unique biological effects. Different ratios of these compounds are found in anatomically different parts of a plant. For example, the green parts of a plant contain mostly alpha-tocopherol and the seed germ and bran contain mostly tocotrienols. Along with other nutrients tocopherols and tocotrienols are concentrated in the bran layers of the rye grain, and are only present at low levels in the flour endosperm. Tocopherols are also present in algae, mint teas, and other food stuff.

When this family of compounds was first discovered and determined to be essential for health, a standardized test for its activity was devised for which the members of the family were rated for their biological activity. In one test, alpha tocopherol scored highest and was rated 100% with all others having lower ratings. In accordance with this rating, alpha-tocopherol was deemed to be the essential compound and was called vitamin E. One International Unit (IU) of vitamin E activity is the activity under this rating of one mg of the plant-derived form of alpha-tocopherol.

Vitamin B12 is provided in foods of animal origin, including dairy products and eggs thus, making vegetarians more susceptible to a dietary deficiency. Likewise, vitamin B12 serum concentrations are reported to be significantly lower in elderly population groups compared to younger groups. It is estimated that 10% to 30% of individuals over the age of 50 have low stomach acid secretion. Therefore they have decreased bioavailability of vitamin B12 from food. To overcome food-bound vitamin B12 malabsorption problems, the Institute of Medicine recommends that vitamin B12 fortified foods (such as fortified ready-to-eat breakfast cereals) or supplements containing vitamin B12 be used to meet much of the requirement. Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, works synergistically with the B vitamin folate to regenerate (methylate) the amino acid methionine, which helps to maintain already healthy homocysteine levels within normal range, which is important for heart health.

Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic and inexpensive form of vitamin B12 that is easily converted in the body to its bio-active forms, methylcobalamin, and cobamamide.

Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits and green vegetables. An important antioxidant, vitamin C protects the body from free radicals and fights oxidative stress, both of which threaten the immune system. In fact, a major immune-supporting activity of vitamin C is boosting glutathione levels in human lympho-cytes, cells that make up about 25% of all white blood cells in the blood.

Scientists have determined that the body needs high levels of vitamin C during periods of stress.

Because humans do not manufacture vitamin C internally, it must be obtained through dietary sources or supplements. Few people realize, however, that vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient that is quickly oxidized and excreted by the body, which limits its efficacy. Until now, those seeking to capture vitamin C’s optimal health benefits have had no choice but to consume it several times throughout the day.

Fortunately, a flavonoid antioxidant known as dihydroquercetin functions as a vitamin C “supercharger.” Studies demonstrate that dihydroquercetin acts to inhibit the oxidation of vitamin C, thereby helping to maintain its concentration and to recycle vitamin C throughout the body. This synergistic relationship between dihydroquercetin and vitamin C greatly enhances the efficacy of both molecules in the body’s organs and tissues.

Vitamin C with Dihydroquercetin was formulated for those seeking to obtain optimal efficacy and antioxidant protection from their vitamin C supplement.

Vitamin D has long provided significant support for healthy bone density. However, scientists have validated the critical role that vitamin D plays in regulating healthy cell division and differentiation, and has profound effects on human immunity. These findings link a deficiency of vitamin D to a host of common age-related problems. As a result of this research and startling evidence of a widespread vitamin D deficiency, prominent nutritional scientists are calling on Americans to increase their vitamin D intake to 1000 IU per day and higher. The current RDA is only 400 IU.

Vitamin D is synthesized in the body from sunlight. But, due to the winter season, weather conditions, and sunscreen blockers, the body’s ability to produce optimal vitamin D levels may be inhibited. In fact, it has been proposed that annual fluctuations in vitamin D levels explain the seasonality of influenza. All of these factors point to the value of taking a daily vitamin D supplement to ensure optimal vitamin D intake.

For those who need to take very high doses of vitamin D3 and are under a physician’s supervision, Life Extension offers a 5000 IU vitamin D3 supplement.
