Three years ago, The Life Extension Foundation introduced the gamma tocopherol form of vitamin E to better protect brain cells against oxidative damage. A new report reveals that gamma tocopherol is superior to alpha tocopherol in inhibiting the growth of a human prostate cancer cell line, and the scientists conducting the study suggest that gamma tocopherol be evaluated as a potential chemopreventive agent.1 A review of the published evidence indicates that both gamma and alpha vitamin E may afford protection against the development of prostate cancer. The Life Extension Foundation continues to closely monitor new developments in the area of prostate cancer prevention and treatment, as this has become an epidemic problem in aging men. What happens before many heart attacks is that C-reactive protein induces atherosclerotic plaque on the arterial wall to burst open like popcorn, blocking a coronary artery, and causing the heart attack. Aspirin specifically suppresses C-reactive protein.
Many members take low-dose aspirin to inhibit abnormal blood clot formation inside of arteries.
The newer studies show that aspirin may also protect against heart attack by suppressing C-reactive protein. Aspirin may protect in ways that supplements do not. There are now almost 15,000 published studies about melatonin and DHEA in the scientific literature. Most of these studies verify what we already know, but a recent study shed some new light on the anti-aging benefits these hormones may produce. It is a well known fact that old age results in reduced physical activity and diminished movement.
