"When Saul Kent and I established the Life Extension Foundation in 1980, we had no idea what we were in for. As young men, our objective was to raise public awareness about the fact that pathological aging need not be an inevitable consequence of human maturation. We were convinced that if the public could be enlightened about the importance of anti-aging research, greater resources would be devoted to finding ways to significantly extend the healthy human life span.

"Back in 1980, few scientists believed that anything could be done to prevent the degenerative effects inflicted by aging. To counter this misconception, Saul and I pointed to then-current scientific studies showing that it was possible to prevent some age-related diseases and to slow the aging process itself, at least in animals. We argued that if enough funds were committed to research, therapies to retard human aging could be developed that would result in the greatest revolution in medical history."

Why Choose their Supplements?

Life Extension sells pharmaceutical-grade and pharmaceutical-potency ingredients from such suppliers as Roche and BASF.

They follow Good Manufacturing Practices, which set specific criteria for essential aspects of the manufacturing process such as cleanliness, record retention, and waste disposal. Not all supplement companies comply with these practices, as under current law, dietary supplement manufacturers are exempt from GMP. Because compliance is expensive, many companies are unwilling to conform to the requirements voluntarily. Life Extension’'s commitment to excellence demands that it meets all GMP criteria.

When you purchase products from the Life Extension, you have assurance that you are getting what you pay for. To ensure such high quality, Life Extension operates a top-notch testing facility. Many companies avoid analyzing their products for purity and potency so they can fatten the bottom line. By contrast, Life Extension contributed to a $2.5 million laboratory that is the best among supplement companies.

With 2,500 square feet of space and the latest in technology, the laboratory is committed to ensuring that all of the raw materials used in its products meet exacting standards. The lab also does extensive testing of supplements during the manufacturing process to ensure that they conform to specified criteria, and follows this up with further analysis of the finished product. This results in a Certificate of Analysis for every product that Life Extension sells and will send to you at your request.

Their supplement sales help fund anti-aging research through contributions to the Life Extension Foundation, a non-profit organization founded in 1980 that seeks to radically extend the health human lifespan by funding scientific research and developing medical therapies to prevent and treat aging and age-related disease. Since 1997, this member-based organization has provided over $21 million in anti-aging and cutting-edge medical research conducted by scientist at some of the most well-respected institutions in the United States---the University of California at Riverside, the National Institute of Aging, and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, to name a few.
