As we age night vision plummets—with deadly consequences. Falling down accounts for 70% of accidental deaths in older people, and dim-lighting conditions are often to blame. The good news is that researchers have discovered a plant extract that can improve night vision in just 30 minutes.

Molecules called ceramides are essential to preserving young-looking skin. It’s the reason why cosmetic companies invest millions to perfect topical ceramide formulas. New research reveals the power of oral ceramides to combat a range of age-related diseases. Find out how they can improve your cholesterol levels, enhance glucose control—even combat colon cancer.

Back in 1983, Life Extension® strongly advised aging people to take aspirin each day. The FDA responded by threatening criminal charges. A new Oxford University analysis conclusively shows that low-dose aspirin slashes overall cancer death risk by 20%. The result of FDA censorship is that millions of Americans died needlessly of cancer and vascular diseases.

Your body releases the hormone cortisol in response to stress. Excess cortisol from chronic stress is linked to everything from diabetes to bone loss, weight gain, and sleepless nights. A low-cost supplement called rhodiola combats cortisol’s lethal effects.

Conventional medicine’s preferred treatments for arthritis fail to provide safe, long-term relief. One problem is they do not neutralize the many pro-inflammatory molecules that attack aging joints. New data indicate that in combination with hyaluronic acid and astaxanthin, low-dose krill oil specifically targets these joint-damaging molecules. In one clinical trial, over 60% of arthritis sufferers were pain-free in less than three months!

Nearly one-third of American adults struggle with chronic insomnia, yet few are aware of the magnitude by which it increases risk for serious disease. Find out how a proprietary nutritional compound widely used in Europe can safely induce relaxation and restful sleep patterns.

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Optic nerve damage is preceded by increased intraocular pressure. Up to 50% of people with elevated intraocular pressure remain undiagnosed. A nutrient compound developed in Europe has been shown to reduce intraocular pressure by 24% when used alone… and by 40% when combined with conventional therapy.

Scientists long ago documented the ability of HDL to cleanse aging arteries of atherosclerotic plaque. Only recently, however, has the critical role of a little-known enzyme been discovered that protects HDL functionality in the aged. The assuring news is that nutrients used by most Life Extension® members significantly increase blood levels of this HDL-enhancing enzyme.

As mainstream oncology misguidedly focuses on toxic, single-agent treatments, a wealth of compelling data puts curcumin at the forefront of multimodal cancer prevention.

A year ago Life Extension® posed the question, "Do consumers really want healthy foods?" The answer was a resounding Yes! Even though these cruciferous vegetable recipes cost more than glucose-spiking commercial soups, initial sales were six times greater than projected. Here we offer the rationale behind our pain-staking efforts to make recently improved versions of Cruciferous Vegetable and Asian Cruciferous Vegetable soups.

Aged people suffer up to 95% damaged mitochondria compared to almost none in a 5-year old. To combat the horrific effects of mitochondrial insufficiency, from cancer to heart failure, it is critical to maintain youthful mitochondrial function and structure. In an unprecedented advance, a nutrient called PQQ triggers mitochondrial biogenesis—the growth of new mitochondria in aging cells!

One American dies every hour from melanoma. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma claimed over 20,000 US lives in 2010. Yet FDA barriers are delaying approval of innovative approaches that could have saved these fellow human beings. While technological advances are routine in virtually all disciplines, clinical medicine is the exception. It has devolved into a bureaucratic monstrosity that suffocates innovation while rewarding the politically well connected. How much longer will Americans tolerate a system that is a proven failure?

The deadly effects of even slightly elevated glucose are fatally misunderstood. The result is that record numbers suffer diabetic-like complications without knowing their blood sugar levels are too high! While mainstream doctors acknowledge Life Extension®’s four-decade crusade, they are failing to protect their patients against this hidden epidemic. Find out how easy it is to optimize your blood glucose and slash degenerative disease risk.
