Minerals

 Life Extension is a global authority on health, wellness and nutrition as well as a provider of scientific information on anti-aging therapies. We supply only the highest quality nutritional supplements, including minerals, herbs, hormones and vitamins.

Minerals, along with vitamins, are considered essential; in other words, they must be obtained from the diet on a regular basis so that the body’s vital functions may take place. Most multinutrient supplements contain minerals; however, many individuals will want to add greater amounts to their daily regimen depending upon their dietary intake. Calcium, for example, is a mineral that is needed in higher amounts by most people than most multivitamins or the diet provides. Other minerals, including magnesium, zinc, potassium, selenium, chromium, boron, and copper may be needed in increased amounts depending upon specific health concerns.

There is a $5.95 flat rate shipping charge on any size order of Life Extension Products. The shipping charge will be adjusted accordingly when we process your order.

Bone Restore
150 Capsules

Maintaining strong, healthy bones is a cornerstone to successful aging. Unfortunately, even health-conscious adults often fail to consume enough calcium, vitamin D, and other nutrients shown to protect against age-related loss of bone mineral density.

Throughout life, cells known as osteoblasts construct bone matrix and fill it with calcium. At the same time, cells called osteoclasts work just as busily to tear down and reabsorb the bone. This fine balance is regulated by many factors, including systemic hormones and cytokines. Bone mass reaches its peak by the middle of the third decade of life and plateaus for about ten years, during which time bone turnover is constant, with bone formation approximately equaling bone resorption.

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, extreme temperatures, and chronic use of certain medications such as aspirin also signal the need for increased intake of vitamin C.

Calcium Carbonate Powder
1 kilogram

Calcium carbonate is an inexpensive supplement, which is an effective source of calcium for many people, but not for those with inadequate stomach acid or other absorption problems. Since older people often have such problems, this product is not recommended as a calcium source for those over 50. However, calcium carbonate is a very good buffering agent to be added to acidic vitamins in solution in order to neutralize their pH and make them more palatable with fewer side effects.

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.

Super Alpha-Lipoic Acid
250 mg 60 Capsules

Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant used in Europe to promote liver and nerve health, and confer protective benefits against oxidative processes. Alpha-lipoic acid has been called the “universal” antioxidant because it boosts glutathione levels in cells and has potent antioxidant actions.

Research has strongly implicated cellular oxidative damage caused by free radicals as a cause of many degenerative problems. What makes alpha-lipoic acid so effective as an antioxidant is that it works on both water and fat-soluble free radicals, which are the cause of damaging oxidative processes.

Alpha-lipoic acid also plays a critical role in energy production within the cell’s mitochondria, as proven in rat studies.

Besides boosting glutathione levels in cells, alpha-lipoic acid has potent antioxidant action in almost all the tissues of the body, and is a co-factor for some of the key enzymes (alpha keto acid dehydrogenases) involved in generating energy from food and oxygen in mitochondria.
