Cholin
CDP Choline Caps - CDP-choline stands for cytidine-5-diphosphocholine. This unique form of choline readily passes through the blood-brain barrier directly into the brain tissue. Once past the BBB, CDP-choline activates the synthesis of critical components in cell membranes, boosts levels of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, and enhances cerebral energy metabolism.

ChronoForte
A molecular attack on aging - The new frontier. Getting older is a challenge, but it is the diseases of aging that people fear most. Modern medicine has done little to prevent the underlying disorders that accelerate the aging process and bring about the vulnerability, pain and suffering that we connect with growing old. Newly identified mechanisms of aging have shed light on natural therapies that may counteract biochemical changes that result in degenerative disease. The following is a summary of these new findings:
1. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) is a dangerous chemical messenger that incites the immune system to attack healthy tissues throughout the body. Elevated TNF-a causes systemic inflammatory cascade that may result in painful arthritis along with lethal neurological or vascular complications. Increases in TNF-a play a role in the catabolic wasting effect seen in cancer and pathological aging. Nettle leaf extract has shown a potent inhibitory affect against TNF-a.
2. Scientists have developed a better molecular understanding as to how carnitine and lipoic acid promote youthful cellular levels of glutathione, sustain mitochondrial energy production and protect against immune dysfunction. Acetyl-L-carnitine and alpha lipoic acid are popular supplements Foundation members take to maintain healthy cellular function throughout the body.
3. The process of glycation is a fundamental cause of many aging-related diseases including the neurologic, vascular and eye disorders so common in the elderly. In fact, glycation is a major factor in aging itself. An amino acid called carnosine specifically interferes with the glycation process. For the first time, carnosine is available to Americans at affordable prices.
4. Immune impairment makes aging humans vulnerable to infectious disease and cancer. A well-designed study found that seniors taking zinc and selenium had significantly fewer infections over a two year period, but that vitamin supplementation alone did not have a major effect. In this study, the zinc and selenium supplement cut the number of infections by nearly two thirds compared to placebo.
ChronoForte-a shield against time Based on the accumulating body of research showing specific mechanisms by which the diseases of aging can be prevented, The Life Extension Buyers Club has formulated a product called ChronoForte that provides the following in six capsules daily:
* Acetyl-L-carnitine HCL 2000 mg
* Alpha Lipoic acid 300 mg
* Carnosine 1000 mg
* Nettle leaf extract 1000 mg
* Zinc 15 mg
* Selenium 100 mcg
* Biotin 3000 mcg
A 180 capsule bottle of ChronoForte will last for 30 days based on the recommended dose of three capsules, twice a day. It is important to note that in order to benefit from carnosine, it requires that six capsules a day of ChronoForte be taken. The reason for this is that the body automatically metabolizes lower amounts of carnosine into an inert substance, but the body cannot neutralize the amount of carnosine (1000 mg) contained in six capsules of ChronoForte.

CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid
CLA - Conjugated linoleic acid has potent antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-catabolic actions, as well as powerful immune system enhancement effects. The effect of CLA is more powerful than any other fatty acid in modulating tumor development. At the time LEF launched CLA , numerous studies had already been published on CLA's powerful anti-cancer effects, as well as its potent antioxidant properties. In fact, the antioxidant effects of CLA were shown to be twice as potent as beta-carotene! Even more significant is the fact that only relatively small amounts of CLA are required to achieve its wondeful effects. ...

Coenzym Q10
ENHANCED COENZYME Q-10 WITH BREWERS YEAST
Research in Europe has shown that the daily oral administration of CoQ10 and dry brewer's yeast works better than taking CoQ10 alone. The combination of CoQ10 and brewer's yeast improves the absorbability of CoQ10 in rats by supplying the amino acids, fatty substances and enzymes that favor CoQ10 absorption. It also increases the activity of mitochondrial enzymes in rats, especially after exercise, thus improving energy metabolism and reducing fatigue. And, the combination of CoQ10 and brewer's yeast protects the myocardium (heart muscle) in rats from toxic effects of anoxia (oxygen deprivation).
The addition of brewer's yeast significantly improves the delivery of CoQ10 to the cells and therefore enhances the beneficial properties of CoQ10. Despite these findings about brewer's yeast and CoQ10, we recommend CoQ10 softgels in place of this dry powder CoQ10.

Curcumin
Curcumin is a potent antioxidant extract from the spice turmeric that has a wide range of health benefits with specific antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and cholesterol-lowering effects. It is also highly recommended for hepatitis C patients.

DHEA
Adaquate hormone levels can help us maintain vigor and stave-off degenerative disease. What is striking is that the hormone DHEA has been shown to act as an antidepressant in aging humans. But DHEA does a lot more than make aging humans feel better. Published studies show low serum levels of DHEA make people more vulnerable to Atherosclerosis, immune dysfunction, muscle wasting, memora loss, senility, osteoporosis, low energy and certain cancers. In short, some impressive scientific substantiation exists to show that low serum DHEA is a predisposing factor to aging-relating disease. Low DHEA can be corrected by taking oral DHEA supplements. One study showed that DHEA supplementation resulted in well-being for both men (67%) and women (84%). Increases in lean body mass and muscle strength were also reported.

DMAE
DMAE is an acetylcholine precursor that is chemically similar to choline. DMAE has been shown to cross the blood brain barrier faster than choline and studies have indicated that DMAE can reduce the buildup of lipofuscin (cellular garbage) in brain cells.
The ideal way of taking DMAE is in the drug Centrophenoxine, which combines DMAE with a synergistic chemical called p-chlorophenoxy-acetate. Centrophenoxine is sold throughout Europe to boost cognitive function in the aged, but is not sold in the United States.
Suggested use of this product is:
The suggested dose is one to five capsules a day, depending on individual tolerance.

Folic Acid
FOLIC ACID Plus Vitamin B12
Folic acid produces many health benefits. The Journal of the American Medical Association says that folic acid can prevent atherosclerosis caused by hyperhomocysteinemia.
Folic acid is a member of the B complex and is often deficient in the diet. Folic acid helps protect the chromosomes, is needed for the utilization of sugar and amino acids, promotes healthier skin and helps protect against intestinal parasites and food poisoning. The United States RDA of 400 mcgs is less than what is needed for optimal health. Studies show that folic acid in high doses can protect from cardiovascular disease. The nutritional claim that folic acid can prevent spida bifida from developing in the fetus if taken by pregnant women has been approved for use by dietary supplement companies by the FDA.
Folic acid should be taken with vitamin B12 to prevent the folic acid from masking a B12 deficiency. The Life Extension Buyers Club offers only folic acid capsules that contain vitamin B12. Many elderly people suffering from neurological impairment find that B12 supplementation greatly improves their cognitive function. Published studies show that Vitamin B12 in supplement form absorbs better in elderly people than vitamin B12 that is bound to food. Those taking folic acid powder should add vitamin B12 powder to their daily folic acid powder supplement.
Supplement Facts: Serving size 1 capsule - Folic acid (Roche) 800 mcg - Vitamin B12 (Roche) 300 mcg - Other ingredients: rice, flour, gelatin and water.
Directions: One capsule daily or as directed by a health professional. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

Glucosamine
Glucosamine is used extensively in Europe to treat osteoarthritis. Glucosamine provides the raw material for chondrocytes to regenerte cartilage. A glucosamine deficiency caused by aging and/or trauma is often a major factor leading to osteoarthritis. In nine European studies , oral administration of glucosamine produced major reductions in joint pain, tenderness and swelling. We are selling glucosamine as glucosamine sulfate produced by Source Naturals.
