This explains why some people fail to derive health benefits from dietary supplements The Life Extension Foundation has set world standards for dietary supplement quality-control. These high standards exist because The Foundation is a scientific research organization that tests pharmaceutical-grade supplements in studies to determine their effect on life span and disease prevention. All prices are based on a four bottle purchase. Some of these specially-designed formulas contain ingredients that have been used in Europe and Japan for decades with proven safety and efficacy. This annual winter super-sale enables members to purchase life extension products at below wholesale prices.
Few consumers understand the value of supplements that are assayed for purity and potency.
Many low-cost products on the market do not contain the active ingredients listed on the label. The Life Extension Buyers Club was created to provide pharmaceutical-grade supplements at near wholesale prices to Foundation members. The purity of dietary supplements is critical if you plan to take them for the rest of your life. For example, there are several different manufacturers of coenzyme Q10. The Foundation's CoQ10 is packaged in highly absorbable softgel caps, while most commercial CoQ10 supplements come in the less absorbable dry powder form.
