What's a good basic program?

Life Extension Mix is the foundation of a nutritional supplementation program. Taking Life Extension Mix is an easy way to get the nutrients you need in one product, with the exception of calcium. We recommend Calcium Citrate with vitamin D. Men, and women under thirty-five years of age need 1000 mg calcium, women over thirty-five need 1500 mg calcium. Consider Life Extension Mix plus calcium as a basic nutritional regimen.

How do I take Life Extension Mix?

Life Extension Mix is available in powder, tablet or capsule form. Take three teaspoons of Life Extension Mix powder per day, one with each meal. If you prefer tablets, nine tablets per day are recommended, three with each meal. Fourteen capsules per day is the recommended dose of Life Extension Mix Capsules. A convenient way to take the capsules is by taking five with breakfast, four with lunch and five with dinner.

Why is it necessary to take fourteen capsules but only nine tablets of Life Extension Mix per day?

Life Extension Mix tablets are larger than the capsules and more tightly packed. A day's supply of Life Extension Mix can be compressed into nine tablets. If you have problems swallowing pills, you may wish to order Life Extension Mix Capsules.

What's the difference between Life Extension Mix and Life Extension Mix with Niacin? Which one should I take?

Life Extension Mix formula contains 75 mg niacin per daily dose, which means you'll be getting 25 mg with each meal. Life Extension Mix with Niacin, however, contains 750 mg niacin per daily dose, which is 250 mg per meal - ten times as much as the regular formula. Extra niacin is generally used by people with high cholesterol, as niacin helps to lower cholesterol. This high level of niacin creates what is called a niacin flush, a harmless sensation of warmth, heat and tingling accompanied by a temporary reddening of the skin that can last an hour or more. The niacin flush is usually not experienced by people who chose the regular formula Life Extension Mix.

High levels of niacin such as those in Life Extension Mix with Niacin, should be used with caution by those having liver disease. Consult your physician if you have an elevation of liver enzymes or enlargement of the liver.

The following statements, describe the work and character of the main suppliers of the nutritional products, sold by Integrated Bodytherapy Institute and its website www.bodytherapy.us

What scientific break-throughs has your suppliers made?

Research supported by The Life Extension Foundation has documented the value of antioxidants in extending life span and in protecting cells against ischemia (lack of blood flow). Ischemia is the leading cause of disability and death. Ischemia can be caused by the blockage of a coronary artery, which can lead to a heart attack, or a cerebral artery, which can lead to a stroke. Accident victims often die from ischemia. The Life Extension Foundation is the world's leader in preventing cellular damage and death from ischemia. The Foundation supports a full time research facility that has broken all world records in protecting against ischemia-induced free radical damage. Look at the Foundation's track record.

What is your suppliers track record in recommending wellness and Life Extension Therapies?

The Life Extension Foundation was the first organization to defy the FDA by promoting the use of antioxidants to prevent diseases. The Foundation was the first organization to promote the use of low dose aspirin to prevent atherosclerosis and heart attacks. The Foundation was the first organization to recommend against the use of iron in dietary supplements because of evidence that iron causes massive free radical damage leading to cancer, atherosclerosis and a host of other diseases. The Foundation was the first organization to inform Americans about the "miracle nutrient" coenzyme Q10, about the anti-cancer carotenoids lycopene, lutein, and xanthophyl, and about the most effective anti-aging therapy in the world, Melatonin. And the Foundation was the first organization to introduce Americans to European "smart drugs" like piracetam, centrophenoxine, and DHEA. View the Foundation's track record.

What are your suppliers quality control standards?

The Life Extension Foundation maintains the highest quality control standards by only recommending products that contain pharmaceutical grade nutrients. The purity of your supplements is critical if you plan to take them for the rest of your life. Many discount products use low grade vitamin C imported from China that contains traces of arsenic, lead, and iron. Since the FDA does not believe anyone should take more than 100 mg a day of vitamin C, the FDA permits the importation of this contaminated vitamin C. Life Extensionists take 3,000 to 20,000 mg of vitamin C a day, so it is crucial that they use pharmaceutical grade vitamin C that has gone through 18 purification steps to remove contaminants.

Since the FDA does not properly regulate dietary supplement manufacturing, the Foundation employs an independent quality control expert to verify that only pharmaceutical quality nutrients are used. No other organization employs an independent quality control expert to oversee production. The reason you take a particular nutrient is because of published research indicating specific health benefits. In these studies, only pharmaceutical grade materials are used. If you expect to obtain the same health benefits, you need to take the same pharmaceutical grade nutrients used in these scientific studies.

Why are are your suppliers nutrient formulas more advanced than other nutrient formulas?

The unique ingredients included in The Foundation's products are five to ten years ahead of the products sold by commercial vitamin companies. The Foundation analyzes thousands of scientific studies every week to make sure its disease preventing formulas include the most advanced life extending ingredients in the world. The Foundation interacts with the world's foremost antiaging researchers in order to obtain inside information about antiaging breakthroughs before these findings are published. As stated earlier, The Life Extension Foundation operates the most advanced anti-ischemia laboratory in the world, where antioxidant nutrients, hormones, and drugs are used to prevent free radical induced cellular damage.

The most popular multinutrient formula offered to Foundation members is Life Extension Mix. This 90 ingredient, super potent antioxidant formula is light years ahead of any of multivitamin supplement on the market. Since 1983, Life Extension Mix has been reformulated 16 times to take advantage of scientific breakthroughs uncovered by The Foundation. In 1985, the anticancer carotenoids lycopene and xanthophyll were added to Life Extension Mix. In1995, Life Extension Mix was reformulated to include even more potent extracts of lycopene and xanthophyll, along with a 22 to 1 broccoli concentrate and numerous other disease preventing enhancements. Life Extension Mix costs members less than other multinutrient formulas, which do not contain disease fighting nutrients such as lycopene, xanthophyl (lutein extract), and broccoli
