Blueberry Extract Capsules
60 vegetarian capsules

When scientists analyze fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant capability, blueberries rank among the highest in their capacity to destroy free radicals.1 Rich in antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and inflammation, blueberry extracts not only help preserve youthful cognitive function, but also help maintain healthy blood flow via several mechanisms, including maintaining already normal LDL levels and endothelial function.

The two most active constituents found in blueberries are anthocyanins and pterostilbene. Blueberry anthocyanins are considered one of nature’s most potent antioxidants. Pterostilbene is the other blueberry constituent that helps maintain healthy lipid and glucose levels that are already within healthy ranges. Through its unique biological effects and antioxidative potential, pterostilbene may help maintain healthy DNA structure.

Scientists have discovered mechanisms to explain how blueberries can improve memory and restore healthy neuronal function to aged brains. The benefits of blueberries on brain function are analogous to those seen with long-term calorie restriction.

Blueberry Extract Capsules contain a combination of highly concentrated wild blueberry extracts (not cultivated). These extracts are standardized to natural compounds that have the highest physiological activity for the health benefits associated with consumption of fresh blueberries.

To augment the benefits of this healthful fruit, a new wild blueberry extract has been added to Blueberry Extract that provides more potent active ingredients than cultivated blueberries. Blueberry Extract now contains AuroraBlue®, which provides the only true wild Alaskan blueberries that grow in a completely natural environment without exposure to any harmful chemicals. This complex of wild fruits belonging to the genus Vaccinium is rich in unique antioxidants (anthocyanins and pterostilbene being the two most active) and possesses nearly 10 times the antioxidant capacity of cultivated berries.

Pomegranate fruit contains polyphenols, tannins, and anthocyanins—all beneficial antioxidants.  Compounds known as punicalagins also found in pomegranate benefit arterial health by virtue of their ability to regulate healthy endothelial function.  A standardized 50 mg extract of cocoa polyphenols in CocoaGold™, including the procyanidins epicatechin and catechin, help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system by keeping the inner lining of blood vessels healthy.  Life Extension members can now assure themselves of a wide spectrum of dietary protection against oxidative stress and its adverse health consequences.

Cognitex with Pregnenolone & NeuroProtection Complex
90 softgels

Protecting brain health is vital if the pursuit of a longer life is to have any meaning. According to current wisdom, some degree of cognitive impairment is all but inevitable as we age.1-6 That is, unless steps are taken to prevent it.

The ideal strategy for preserving brain function begins with preventing factors that may contribute to cognitive decline. Good nutrition—including dietary supplements— and a healthy lifestyle are key. As a first step toward ensuring brain health, keep your blood pressure and weight in check. However, there is much more that can and should be done to protect the aging brain. Nutritional support for the aging brain is of paramount importance.

A powerful blend of nutrients
Cognitex is formulated to take advantage of the latest developments and ingredients for cognitive health. The latest ingredient in the Cognitex formula is uridine-5’-monophosphate, a critical brain nutrient.

Uridine-5’-monophosphate (UMP) is a basic building block of RNA and DNA as well as of phosphatides such as phosphatidylcholine that are critical to optimal brain function and the health of neuronal cell membranes.* Naturally found in the milk of nursing mothers, UMP is essential not only for the growth and development of infant brains, but also for healthy cognitive function in aging adults.13 Dietary supplementation with UMP may increase brain acetylcholine and phosphatide levels, and enhance some cholinergic functions.

The Cognitex formula provides other critical extracts that support healthy brain function, such as blueberry standardized with both anthocyanins and pterostilbene.

Blueberry anthocyanins are considered one of nature’s most potent antioxidants and have demonstrated properties that extend well beyond suppressing free radicals. Pterostilbene, the other blueberry constituent, helps maintain healthy lipid and glucose levels in those already within normal range.8* Importantly, through their unique biological effects; pterostilbene and anthocyanins may help support DNA structure.

A crucial building block in the brain is phosphatidylserine (PS). In fact, brain tissues are especially rich in this nutrient, but aging causes a decline in the PS content of cells throughout the body, which can lead to cognitive decline.* Phosphatidylserine helps the brain use its fuel efficiently. By boosting glucose metabolism and stimulating production of acetylcholine, supplemental phosphatidylserine has been shown to improve the condition of patients experiencing age-associated memory impairment or cognitive decline. Thus, replacing this brain food is essential.

Life Extension’s Cognitex formulas contain a compound that mimics the naturally occurring PS in the brain. SharpPS GOLD® fortified with omega-3 fatty acids delivers PS to the brain to help retard the cognitive degeneration so often seen with advanced age.* These unique nutrients have been extensively studied and may be of tremendous benefit for the aging brain.

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.

          Pomegranate Extract with CocoaGold™
30 vegetarian capsules

Chocolate contains a wide range of antioxidant compounds called polyphenols, including the procyanidins epicatechin and catechin. Research has shown that cocoa contains more antioxidant polyphenols than any other food.

Pomegranate juice is sold in a wide variety of diluted forms. Up until now, it has been difficult for consumers to know how much of a particular brand of pomegranate juice or pomegranate extract they need to approximate amounts used in published studies that have shown dramatic health benefits.

After reviewing the scientific literature, Life Extension determined punicalagins to be the most significant constituent in pomegranate. This research suggests that one should have a daily intake of at least 78 mg of punicalagins for optimal cardiovascular health and 280-375 mg for optimal prostate health.

Taking pomegranate and cocoa extract together in a capsule form is a great way to avoid the sugar commonly found in pomegranate juice and chocolate.

Standardized Lignan Extract
100 Vegetarian Capsules

Lignans are phytonutrients, a class of plant compounds beneficial to human health but not classified as vitamins. Lignans are a normal part of a healthy diet and widely distributed in foods and plants in small amounts. Lignans are found in unrefined grain products, fruits and vegetables and seeds, such as flax and sesame. HMRlignan™ is a lignan sourced from the Norway spruce (Picea abies).

The friendly bacteria in our intestines convert plant lignans into the “human” lignans, primarily enterolactone, that have a weak estrogen-like activity. Estrogens are small molecules responsible for the controlling of many reactions in the body. Lignans may help support normal estrogen levels.  Lignans may also help to maintain a healthy prostate, breast, colon and cardiovascular system.

In addition to its phytoestrogen-like activity, HMRlignan™ is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. In vitro tests show HMRlignan™ to be a strong antioxidant more or equipotent than the standard reference compound, Trolox. HMRlignan™ has also been shown to incorporate into isolated LDL fractions, and to protect from copper-induced LDL oxidation in vitro. An exceptional feature of HMRlignan™ is the capability of the molecule to scavenge up to four peroxyl radicals, one of the most common cellular damaging agents, per one molecule of HMRlignan™. Proprietary research has discovered that enterolactone, and also to some extent HMRlignan™ inhibits the oxidative burst from activated lymphocytes suggesting that they may also promote healthy fluid balance. Concentrations less than one µM of enterolactone appear to be effective in this test.

Since HMRlignan™ is not bound in a food matrix it has a superior bioavailability. Other lignans, such as from flax, are glycosides — bound to sugar molecules — that must first be cleaved in the body before they can be metabolized into the target molecule enterolactone. HMRlignan™ is a pure lignan that is not bound to sugars, thus upon arrival in a healthy intestinal tract, it is more efficiently transformed into enterolactone.
