Life Extension Life Extension Mix Tablets 240

Every daily dose of Life Extension Mix™ gives you an extensive array of
nutrients.

Bioactive quercetin phytosome

Life Extension Mix™ contains 5 mg of quercetin that has been integrated
into a phytosome, a phospholipid sphere that encases a botanical compound,
aiding in its absorption and making it more bioavailable; this quercetin
phytosome is up to 50 times more bioavailable than standard quercetin.¹ Quercetin promotes healthy immune function and supports
cardiovascular and endothelial health.^2,3 It also helps inhibit
oxidative and inflammatory factors to support immune health.^4,5

Delphinidins

Found in dark red fruits, delphinidins are potent anthocyanin compounds
that activate the production of nitric oxide, supporting endothelial
health, promoting vascular relaxation and helping maintain already-healthy
blood pressure.^6-9 Anthocyanins can also help inhibit
inflammatory factors and glycation to support immune health, protect DNA
structure and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels already within the
normal range.^10-15 Our formula features delphinidins from maqui
berry extract.¹⁶

Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate

Glycation is a normal part of the aging process that can affect your
health.^17-20 To help inhibit glycation, each daily dose of Life
Extension Mix™ provides 100 mg of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate, a metabolically
active B6 that has been shown to help inhibit glycation reactions.^21,22

Standardized pomegranate extract

Our pomegranate extract is standardized to provide punicalagins specific to
this fruit. These potent polyphenols have a wide range of health benefits:
They help maintain blood pressure already within the normal range, promote
healthy endothelial function, inhibit oxidative stress, positively
influence a host of markers for metabolic and cardiovascular health and
promote a healthy inflammatory response.^23-34

Blueberry extracts

Life Extension Mix™ features a wild blueberry extract packed with active
blueberry constituents. Blueberry anthocyanins help inhibit free radicals,
while blueberry’s other active constituents promote healthy lipid and
glucose levels for those already within the normal range.^35,36
Even more exciting: these blueberry constituents may help protect DNA
structure and promote healthy cellular proliferation.^37-39 In
clinical studies, blueberries have been shown to inhibit inflammatory
factors and have antioxidant benefits to support a healthy immune system
and encourage healthy cognitive function.^40-43

Standardized green tea extract

Green tea is packed with polyphenol compounds, the most important of which
is epigallocatechin-3-gallate (ECG). A daily dose of Life Extension Mix
contains 325 mg of a decaffeinated green tea extract standardized to
provide 98% of the active polyphenols that scientists believe are
responsible for green tea’s multiple health benefits. Green tea has been
shown to help protect against oxidation, support healthy cellular
proliferation, promote cardiovascular and metabolic health, maintain
healthy DNA structure and protect nerve cells.^44-62

Standardized vegetable extracts

Life Extension Mix™ offers a wide array of vegetable extracts, including a
concentrated broccoli mixture with standardized extracts of sulforaphane
and glucosinolates, which are believed to have detoxifying properties,
promote healthy DNA and protect from oxidative stress, among many other
health benefits.^63-66

Life Extension Mix™ also contains lutein and lycopene. Lutein, an
antioxidant extracted from marigold and also found in leafy greens such as
kale and spinach, has been shown to help maintain critical pigments in the
macula to support eye health.⁶⁷ Lycopene from
tomatoes helps maintain healthy DNA and cell proliferation and protect
against LDL oxidation.^68-71

Standardized fruit extracts

In addition to our standardized pomegranate and wild blueberry extracts,
Life Extension Mix™ also features luteolin, a flavonoid shown to protect
against oxidation and help inhibit inflammatory factors to support immune
health.^72-74 Our formula also provides fruit extracts such as
bilberry, grape seed and citrus packed with potent antioxidants to promote
visual acuity, a healthy inflammatory response and healthy blood
circulation.^75-77

Our proprietary formula is fortified with tart cherry for its antioxidant
benefits for cardiovascular and brain health, as well as muscle support.^78-84 It also includes a customized blend of blackberry,
cranberry, plum, elderberry, persimmon, cherry and other fruits which
studies indicate provide multiple favorable effects on the body.

Numerous studies have pointed toward the many benefits of olive
polyphenols, and Life Extension Mix™ contains an olive extract standardized
to provide polyphenols like hydroxytyrosol that have been shown to help
inhibit LDL oxidation and protect against oxidative damage to support
cardiovascular health.^85,86

Sesame seed lignan extract

Life Extension Mix™ provides 10 mg of a sesame seed lignan extract to
promote healthy levels of gamma tocopherol along with many other
health-promoting properties.^87-89 Sesame seed lignans also
protect lipids from oxidation, help support metabolic health, help maintain
already-normal cholesterol/LDL levels and enhance the beneficial effects of
fish oils.^90-95

Nutrients to maintain metabolic and cardiovascular health

Life Extension Mix™ contains 500 mcg of Crominex® 3+, the most advanced
chromium complex, as well as highly absorbable forms of magnesium and
biotin to maintain healthy glucose metabolism, beneficially impact lipid
levels and promote cardiovascular health.^96-104

High-potency vitamin D3

Evidence shows that many people are not supplementing with enough vitamin
D, a critical nutrient for maintaining strong bone density and healthy
muscle, promoting cardiovascular health and healthy glucose metabolism,
supporting the immune system and more.^105-108 Currently, most
experts in the field believe that intakes between 1,000 and 4,000 IU for
adults will lead to a healthier blood level of vitamin D; however, some
individuals may require higher doses to achieve a target blood level of
50-80 ng/mL for 25-hydroxyvitamin D.¹⁰⁹

Each daily dose of Life Extension Mix™ provides 2,000 IU of vitamin D3.
What’s more, this formula contains only 500 IU of preformed vitamin A.
Preformed vitamin A may interfere with some of the actions of vitamin D
(but this has not been shown to be the case with beta-carotene), yet most
multivitamins contain between 5,000 and 25,000 IU of preformed vitamin A.

Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G)

Life Extension Mix™ contains 1.25 mg of C3G to support eye health. Found in
blackberries and black currants, this potent compound promotes healthy
levels of rhodopsin, a compound that absorbs light in the retina, and
enhances night vision.¹¹⁰

In a clinical study, just 50 mg of a berry extract concentrate containing
C3G helped aging, healthy individuals see better in the darkness after 30
minutes.¹¹¹ C3G, which is highly bioavailable, also has potent
antioxidant properties and supports endothelial cell health.^112-115

5-MTHF (5-methyltetrahydrofolate)

Folate helps maintain homocysteine levels within the normal range, which is
associated with cardiovascular health and supports cognitive function. One
dose of our formula contains 400 mcg of the 5-MTHF form of folate, which is
up to seven times more bioactive than ordinary folic acid.¹¹⁶

Selenium and apigenin

Life Extension Mix™ contains three potent forms of selenium (SelenoExcell®,
Se-methyl-selenocysteine and sodium selenite) a trace mineral with powerful
antioxidant properties to support healthy cellular division, heart and
brain health, as well as thyroid function.^117,118

Also included is apigenin, a powerful bioflavonoid found in many vegetables
and fruits, with lots of beneficial effects to protect the body from
oxidative damage, promote healthy inflammatory response and help maintain
already-healthy blood pressure and cell division.^119-122
