Optimized Resveratrol with Pterostilbene: http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements ... lbene.html

In addition, Life Extension has added pterostilbene, which researchers have found works in a synergistic fashion with resveratrol to activate one’s “longevity genes.”

CoQ10 and shilajit(some of you may remember that "Reverse" product I posted about over at Regrowth that contained shilajit. I also noticed Swanson's is now selling it): http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2009/ss2 ... ogy_01.htm

For centuries, Ayurvedic practitioners relied on a curious substance called shilajit to treat or prevent a host of health problems. Culled from ancient biomass high in the Himalayas, shilajit was prized for its evident power to restore energy, increase fertility, enhance immunity, and safeguard memory against the effects of aging.
What is Shilajit?

Modern science has confirmed that shilajit is in fact an adaptogen and a super-vitalizer.1-3 Adaptogens are substances that provide broad-spectrum protection throughout the body by helping it adapt to internal and external stressors. Recent research indicates that shilajit achieves these benefits through highly specific effects that restore and sustain cellular energy, particularly through enhanced production of ATP, the vital molecular power source we need to survive.

The latest studies reveal an even more remarkable finding: When shilajit is combined with CoQ10, cellular energy gains increase dramatically. Together they optimize mitochondrial energy levels, activating a super-vitalization of our mitochondria’s ability to convert food into energy. This adaptogenic combination not only radically ramps up available energy — it enhances mitochondrial health, a vital factor in preventing aging at the cellular level.

Eligen B12: http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements ... n-B12.html

Eligen® B12 is designed to overcome these hurdles with a patented rapid absorption system that delivers a peak concentration of B12 into the bloodstream within just 30 minutes — a staggering improvement over the 6.8 hour absorption time of standard B12 tablets.1 This enhanced bioavailability ensures optimum B12 blood levels.

Using cutting-edge technology, Eligen® B12 utilizes a special carrier known as SNAC {sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl) amino] caprylate} to facilitate the delivery of B12 molecules through passive transport. The carrier changes the permeability and fluidity of the gastric epithelium, making it more permeable to vitamin B12, which leads to significantly higher absorption rates.

And in case you didn't know..when you become a member that money(and a bit more) is "given back" in the form of supplement purchases. "A year's membership fee is $75 for US residents (US $82 for Canada and US$110 for international). When you renew your 1-year membership, you will receive $95 in Product Credit to be used at your convenience toward the purchase of your choice of nutritional supplements"

The more years..the more $. The special deals are also nice throughout the year..especially since you can get their products at Iherb etc for about the same price otherwise. One thing of theirs I've added for the winter season is their Vit C with Dihydroquercetin.

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 maintain its concentration and recycle vitamin C throughout the body.49,50

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 a vitamin C supplement.

And of course the magazine is excellent..although most if not all eventually ends up on their website.


And I wish I could paid for posting all that

They also have a "Healthy Hair Spray".

http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements ... Spray.html

Healthy Hair is a topical spray formula developed in Europe, to be used on the hair and scalp daily to encourage healthy hair growth cycles in men and women.1 For existing hair, this formula may lengthen the amount of time that the hair stays in the hair follicle. Included in Healthy Hair are natural plant extracts which help stimulate circulation to the scalp. Enhanced blood flow to the scalp may improve the delivery of oxygen and nutrients.

Healthy Hair is made with key plant compounds to help encourage robust hair health:

* Esculin, isolated from Aesculus hippocastanum (Horse chestnut), is a coumarin derivative.
* Ximenynic acid (XA), found in a variety of plants including Ximenia africana and Santalum album, is a diunsaturated fatty acid.
* Lauric acid, an n-dodecanoic fatty acid present in Serenoa repens (saw palmetto).

Working together, these bioactive compounds and fatty acids help nourish and invigorate the hair and scalp. This European patented formula produced significant increases in the number of hairs in the anagen (active growth) phase compared to placebo and baseline. Participants using the placebo saw more hair density loss during the study compared to those using this formula.

At least they've moved beyond Dr. P's stuff...but it's odd with all the research they do that they can't come up with something better. At least get the alcohol out of this product
