In our fast-paced, fast-food world, we do not always get the nutrition we need from the foods we eat. Life Extension Mix with Extra Niacin is a good way to insure we are getting the nutrients we need to keep healthy. It provides key compounds found in vegetables and antioxidants found in fruits that are often lost in food production and processing.
Life Extension Mix contains 92 unique vegetable, fruit, and herbal extracts along with high-potency amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and special antioxidants. It supplies the most powerful antioxidants, including water and fat soluble vitamin C, the ideal form of alpha vitamin E, and plant extracts that help protect against cellular DNA damage.
Other ingredients enhance beneficial DNA methylation patterns, and help maintain glycemic control and healthy levels of LDL in those already within normal range. Life Extension uses standardized herbal extracts to ensure their products contain the highest level of biological activity.
Cocoa polyphenols support endothelial function by maintaining healthy nitric oxide levels and also suppress dangerous inflammatory factors, which may reduce cardiovascular risks.* Green tea extract protects against LDL oxidation, neuronal oxidation, and a host of other structural and functional age related changes.
Luteolin has the ability to inhibit oxidative damage to cellular DNA and suppresses excess levels of dangerous inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 and interleukin 1B.
Broccoli is touted as one of the most important vegetables to help maintain healthy DNA. Broccoli contains several active constituents, with sulphoraphane being the most significant because of its unique detoxification and DNA protecting effects.
D-glucarate is a botanical extract found in grapefruit, apples, oranges, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. D-glucarate effectively supports a detoxification process that helps to remove DNA toxins from the body.
Lutein has been shown to help maintain critical pigments in the eye macula, while the carotenoid alpha-carotene has demonstrated antioxidant activity far greater than beta-carotene. Lycopene has shown potent effects in helping to maintain healthy DNA structure. Lycopene also protects against LDL oxidation, and aids in maintaining a healthy prostate.
Life Extension Mix is fortified with fruit extracts such as bilberry, grape seed, grape skin, and citrus bioflavonoids to provide healthy circulation throughout the body and maintain healthy DNA.* Life Extension Mix has a customized blend of fruits such as blackberry, cranberry, elderberry, cherry, plums and persimmon and studies indicate they provide multiple favorable effects in the body.
Pomegranate extract standardized to provide the punicalagins and other polyphenols found in up to 2.6 ounces of pomegranate juice. Wild blueberry extract, concentrated and standardized, has been added to provide optimal benefits.
Olive polyphenols have been the subject of numerous studies pointing toward their benefits in many different areas, including helping to protect against LDL oxidation, suppressing free radicals, and stabilizing cell membranes.
Sesame lignans enhance the effects of vitamin E. Benefits include increasing human tissue levels of vitamin E by facilitating carrier proteins in the liver to deliver nutrients to cells throughout the body. Sesame lignans increase the anti-inflammatory index of fish oils and help maintain healthy cholesterol/LDL levels in those already within normal range.*
Pyridoxal 5-phosphate helps protect against glycation reactions, a toxic process by which sugars bind to proteins to form nonfunctional structures in the body.
Vitamin D3 is critical for maintaining bone density. Vitamin E has been shown to promote healthy DNA better than other forms. N-acetyl-cysteine suppresses free radicals inside the cells and maintains healthy glutathione levels. Taurine may protect against free radicals between cells and supports eye health.
Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer; however, the FDA has determined that this evidence is not conclusive. Zinc is often poorly absorbed, but Life Extension Mix™ provides two of the most bioavailable forms of zinc.
Boron is not only needed to maintain healthy bone density, but may also help promote healthy prostate cell development. Chromium, along with magnesium and biotin, are nutrients required to maintain healthy blood sugar levels in those already within normal range.
Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps maintain healthy blood sugar and blood pressure levels in those already within normal range, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.
Maintaining high levels of acetylcholine in the brain by consuming choline helps correct mild memory problems associated with aging and helps protect against age-associated mental decline.
