Lower cellular energy production is an inevitable part of aging. Carnitine, an amino acid derivative, is found in nearly all cells of the body, promoting the burning of fatty acids for fuel in the mitochondria. Cellular energy production declines as we age. So Life Extension has developed state-of-the-art products that provide optimized, third generation forms of carnitine that help transport fatty acids right to the heart of your energy-producing mitochondria and produce cellular energy faster. This boost in cellular function can help provide a quicker recovery after exercise and less muscle fatigue during exercise. It may also benefit your brain, heart and central nervous system right along with your muscles.

As people age, they become more susceptible to muscle deterioration and a declining immune system. Fortunately, whey protein can have a positive impact on muscle construction and immunity due to its branched-chain amino acid profile (BCAAs) and naturally occurring lactoferrin and immunoglobins.

Like resveratrol, pterostilbene belongs to a class of compounds called phytoalexins, which are naturally produced by plants when under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi.
Pterostilbene is a compound structurally similar to resveratrol and can also be found in grapes, blueberries, and other small fruits, as well as the bark of some trees.

Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that supports cellular health and function. In human cell culture studies, it has been shown to block the manufacture and release of inflammation-causing substances, which can help support a healthy immune response to the seasonally changing environment. It also helps promote a healthy cardiovascular system by preserving endothelial integrity and supporting healthy blood glucose levels for those already within normal range. Optimized Quercetin is a proprietary formulation that sets the «gold standard» for high-quality quercetin derived from a food-source blend.

Standardized Cistanche provides powerful support against immune senescence.
Scientists have discovered that the echinacoside compound found in Cistanche plant extract stimulates the development of naive T cells and leads to a lower amount of memory T cells, thereby creating a more balanced immune response. Cistanche also increases natural killer (NK) cell activity-resulting in a 15% life span increase in animal research.

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 helps maintain healthy DNA structure.

Astaxanthin, the fat-soluble compound that gives salmon its pink color, is a potent antioxidant that is loaded with numerous health benefits. In fact, it’s been shown to help optimize joint, immune, brain, cardiovascular, DNA, and mitochondrial health. It also supports healthy blood sugar levels for those already in the normal range. And astaxanthin crosses the blood-eye barrier, supporting vascular health within the eye84 and protecting the eyes’ sensitive cells. Because of all that, it’s becoming highly valued as a nutritional supplement.

It has been estimated that the DNA in each cell of the body suffers 10,000 oxidative hits per day, leading to the formation of more than 20 different oxidative DNA lesions. Human studies show lifestyle and other environmental influences may profoundly modify outcomes of aging.

Pregnenolone is biochemically a prohormone. It is made directly from cholesterol within the mitochondria of the adrenal glands and, to a lesser degree, the nervous system, with the help of the cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme: p450scc. Pregnenolone is a precursor to various hormones: such as progesterone, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens, and estrogens. So it can help the body maintain normal hormone levels, which in turn helps numerous body functions.

This proprietary French Maritime Pine Bark Extract contains procyanidins, biofiavonoids; and other health-giving molecules that synergistically support the body’s natural defenses against five major processes that characterize premature aging.
