LifePak Elements is primarily formulated to help set a healthy foundation for you to build upon, while LifePak is formulated to help provide advanced nutrient levels. LifePak provides additional phytonutrients from grape seed extract, olive leaf extract, alpha lipoic acid, quercetin, and resveratrol, and is a more comprehensive formula, including higher concentrations of important key nutrients and a higher SCS certification level. Another difference is that LifePak Elements is a powder that you mix into water, while LifePak is delivered in capsules. If you have difficulty swallowing capsules, you may prefer LifePak Elements.
