For 38 consecutive years, Life Extension® has been committed to promoting health and longevity through science and research.

Research Comes First

Life Extension scientists analyze hundreds of new studies weekly for the most advanced research that provides data for formulating its innovative, science-based supplements.

Life Extension’s nutritional supplements contain the same clinical dosages used in published studies.

Rigorous Quality Control From Start to Finish

Life Extension’s quality control standards exceed FDA mandates.

Only the world’s highest-quality raw materials are used. Potency and purity are ensured using advanced analytical methods, such as liquid chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Raw materials must meet U.S. Pharmacopeia and other exacting pharmaceutical assay standards.

Life Extension conducts frequent, detailed, on-site audits of all suppliers. Combined with NSF International registration, this ensures all products are manufactured according to the highest standards. Rigorous testing continues even after finished products are packaged.

Finally, a certificate of analysis—guaranteeing potency, quality, and purity—is available for every single product.

Life Extension has earned GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) registration from NSF International, an independent organization setting manufacturing and testing standards.

It’s our commitment to research and quality that has resulted in the overwhelming majority of our products having a 4 and 5-star (out of five stars) customer rating online.

At LifeExtension.com, you can read thousands of reviews by highly satisfied customers that can be found on each individual product page.

Life Extension Magazine

Every month, Life Extension Magazine reports on the latest research to help you stay healthy longer.

Every article is meticulously referenced so that you can verify the research findings presented. Feel free to call 1-866-864-3027 to speak with a Wellness Specialist if you have questions about our articles.

Funding Innovative Research

Life Extension was initially established solely to support research aimed at radically extending healthy human lifespan.

We published our first newsletter in 1980. What happened is readers were often unable to find the advanced nutrients we reported on.

So we started identifying sources of nutrient extracts and formulating them based on the published scientific literature.

We then used proceeds from supplement sales to fund research projects that go beyond the scope of academic institutions and biomedical companies.

Life Extension has since provided over $185 million to other research organizations to accomplish our original purpose, including projects that seek to delay and reverse aging processes to provide higher-quality lifespans.

Every time you purchase a dietary supplement from us, you help further a host of scientific research initiatives.

Clinical Trials

Life Extension Clinical Research, Inc., engages in pioneering clinical trials with the goal of extending the healthy human lifespan and defeating disease. And you can play a role too! If you’d like to be among the first individuals to potentially benefit from cutting-edge therapies that could improve your health—long before they’re made available to the general public—you may be able to participate in one of our clinical trials. Call 1-866-517-4536 for details.

Summary

Life Extension’s commitment to longevity includes advanced research and science-based supplement formulas, clinical trials, and 24-hour-a-day Wellness Specialists to answer your health-related questions. No other organization is as focused on your health as is Life Extension.
