Reversing Immune Senescence

As we age, there is a marked decline in immune factors needed to protect against malignancy and infection. This immune deficit can be seen in the reactivation of the virus that causes painful shingles outbreaks in people over 45 years old. A more insidious impact of this immune deficiency is higher rates of cancer, pneumonia, and influenza. In the elderly, even vaccinations can fail because of lack of ability to generate a youthful antibody response.

Dear Member,

As we age, there is a marked decline in immune factors needed to protect against malignancy and infection.

This immune deficit can be seen in the reactivation of the virus that causes painful shingles outbreaks in people over 45 years old.

A more insidious impact of this immune deficiency is higher rates of cancer, pneumonia, and influenza. In the elderly, even vaccinations can fail because of lack of ability to generate a youthful antibody response.

A review of scientific studies on Reishi reveal it possesses bioactive molecules that facilitate age-reversal benefits on the senescent immune system. This explains the ability of Reishi to enhance longevity by protecting against disorders associated with weakened immunity.

What impressed us most was a recent 3-year study of healthy middle-aged mice. Compared to controls, the Reishi-supplemented group lived much longer—an increase measured in human terms would add up to more than 7 years.

Just a small amount each day of standardized Reishi extract is all humans need to emulate this remarkable study. The first article in this special edition of Life Extension Magazine® describes recent findings that demonstrate unique longevity-enhancing properties of Reishi extract.

Annual Super Sale

This is the time when Life Extension® introduces the most exciting discoveries of the year. Our researchers spend countless hours pouring over scientific studies. Their findings are then translated into practical methods that aging humans can easily incorporate into a science-based longevity program.

Our conclusions often shatter the pillars of conventional wisdom, but that is the reason for our existence. We do not accept today's ridiculously shortened life spans. We fight back against the pathological forces of senescence that conspire to rob us of our youth.

This is the 24th consecutive year where we launch the Super Sale that enables members to access advanced nutrient formulas at extra discounted prices.
