Scientific Review
One must use any product externally or internally for at least three months to discern a difference in one's body. People that use these products over a long period of time are nurturing their body in good health. These ingredients are not like taking an aspirin for pain where within 20 minutes you feel the difference, but they are powerful in keeping you in good health. I have taken them over a few years, and my health is outstanding beyond what other people's is for my age.  Prior to taking Life Extension, I was taking some of what is in them for the last 25 years.  Just between you and me I am 65. These products may give you a distinctive difference in your health that you can feel, especially if you have not been taking anything that is preventative medicine which also causes you to live in optimum health. Life Extension will go beyond what other products do that are over the counter and sold through drug stores, etc.<br /><br />It is important to know what the product is doing from the scientific facts, so this review will focus on that for you will be able to discern from that.  The ingredients are listed here and their significance. I was taking several of them separately, so it is really good to buy them all in one product that is of the highest calibur.  You may call the health advisors at Life Extension even if you are buying through Amazon, and they will adivse you and give you more information pertaining to you and what you can expect from the product.  This is true for all their products.  Call 1-800-226-2370. They are well trained to answer all your questions.  There are also doctors available.<br /><br />Some of the most serious consequences of aging occur with the onset of inflammation and mitochondrial energy depletion in our cells.<br /><br />All cells require healthy mitochondrial activity to perform life-sustaining metabolic processes. As mitochondrial function weakens, so does the vitality of organs such as the heart and brain, or in some cases, the entire body.27-32<br /><br />Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer contains a new microencapsulated R-lipoic acid designed to provide optimal restoration of youthful mitochondria energy output, while guarding against the generation of toxic free radicals. R-lipoic acid is more effective than alpha lipoic acid 33-35 commonly sold by commercial supplement companies.<br /><br />Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer contains only the superior "R" form of stabilized lipoic acid along with the most neurologically active form of the critical carnitine amino acid called acetyl-L-carnitine arginate.<br />Low-level systemic inflammation is involved with virtually every undesirable consequence of aging. Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer provides the most potent flavonoid (luteolin) to suppress the type of persistent inflammatory reactions that most often occur as a result of "normal" aging. Anti-glycating nutrients such as high-dose carnosine and benfotiamine serve as a foundation for this advanced anti-aging formula. The new Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer contains 50 mg of pyridoxamine, making it the most comprehensive and cost-effective anti-glycation formulation anywhere.<br /><br />Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer that protects delicate cellular structures and enables cells to perform life-sustaining metabolic processes. Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer is designed to counteract age-related structural and functional changes by providing the following unique ingredients:<br /><br />'Carnosine -- As humans age, their proteins become irreversibly damaged by lethal glycation reactions. Glycation is the cross-linking of proteins and sugar to form non-functioning structures in the body, which can lead to alterations of normal cell function. Carnosine is not only the premier anti-glycating agent, but it also protects neurons against reactive and cytotoxic protein carbonyl species associated with normal aging.<br /><br />'Luteolin -- Unremitting systemic inflammation is involved with virtually every undesirable consequence of aging. Culprits behind chronic inflammatory reactions are pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor alpha. Luteolin is a super-potent plant extract that has been shown to suppress these dangerous inflammatory cytokines.<br /><br />'Benfotiamine -- Benfotiamine blocks multiple destructive biochemical pathways, including AGEs' formation pathway, which is induced by higher than desirable blood glucose levels. Human mortality studies indicate that ideal fasting glucose levels are between 74-85 mg/dL. Yet many aging people have fasting glucose above 90 mg/dL, which is less than optimal.23-25 Benfotiamine can activate glucose metabolism and promote already healthy blood glucose levels. In addition, benfotiamine exhibits direct antioxidative capacity and prevents induction of DNA damage.<br /><br />'Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate -- Aging results in the formation of toxic advanced glycation end products throughout the body. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is the active form of vitamin B6 that has been shown to protect against both lipid and protein glycation reactions.<br /><br />'R-Lipoic Acid -- Destructive free radical activity in the mitochondria plays a major role in the loss of cellular vitality. The microencapsulated Bio-Enhanced® R-lipoic acid facilitates youthful mitochondrial energy output while guarding against free radicals. Two forms of lipoic acid are sold on the supplement market, but R-lipoic acid is far more potent.<br /><br />'Acetyl-L-Carnitine Arginate -- The amino acid L-carnitine is required to transport fats into the mitochondria to be burned for cellular energy. ArginoCarn® Acetyl-L-carnitine arginate is a patented form of carnitine that has been shown in cell cultures to stimulate the growth of neurites.
