SPECIAL HEALTH REPORT
How You Can
LIVE Healthier Longer
Information is power … especially when it comes to your personal
health. Life Extension was formed in 1980 to enable consumers to
know and understand their options to live longer and better. Life
Extension founders were fascinated by the fact that some
individuals live a long life with few medical problems, yet most
people expire prematurely. They wanted to find out what caused
people to die too young. This yearning provided tremendous
incentive to form a non-profit organization to educate the public
about how to protect against the diseases of aging. Co-founder Bill
Faloon explains it this way:
“When Saul Kent and I established the Life Extension Foundation
back in 1980, our objective was to raise public awareness that
pathological aging need not be an inevitable consequence of human
maturation.
“Back then, few scientists believed that anything could be done to
prevent the degenerative effects inflicted by aging. To counter
this misconception, Saul and I pointed to then-current scientific
studies showing that it was possible to prevent some age-related
diseases and to slow the aging process itself. We argued that if
enough funds were committed to research, therapies to retard human
aging could be developed that would result in the greatest
revolution in medical history.

“What we were ridiculed about back then is now accepted as
scientific fact — that humans can take steps to significantly
reduce the deleterious effects of normal aging.1 Dozens of
companies have raised billions of dollars to develop validated
anti- aging drugs. Anti-aging doctors have formed and joined their
own medical associations. The federal government now recommends
some of the healthy lifestyle changes, supplements, and drugs that
we advocated in the 1980s.2 Perhaps most notably, the news media
has recognized the science behind our revolutionary objectives, and
prestigious publications such as Scientific American have dedicated
special issues to reporting what people can do to stave off
aging.
“Membership in the Life Extension Foundation is all about having
the knowledge, services and supplements to live life in a more
healthy way.”
Our business is to keep you healthy. Life Extension is the global
leader in anti-aging and optimal health. In fact, we’re always at
the forefront of medical research, seeking ways to prolong youth,
health, and life. Since our inception we have invested over $100
million in groundbreaking research in regenerative medicine and in
therapies and technologies that could lead to lifesaving cures for
age-related diseases.
DiscOvEriEs that bEnEfit many
Life Extension is frequently years ahead of the medical
establishment in uncovering and reporting scientific insights. This
brief summary will give you just a glimpse of some of the things
we’ve brought to light.
• 1983: Introduced coQ10 to the U.S. as an anti-aging nutrient that
significantly boosts cardiac energy output.
• 1983: Recommended the use of low-dose aspirin therapy on a daily
basis to prevent vascular disease.
• 1988: Introduced phosphatidylserine to improve memory and slow
brain aging.
• 1992: Introduced melatonin to the American public based on
overwhelming evidence that this natural hormone is an effective
anti-aging therapy.
• 1997: Introduced a European discovery called same
(s-adenosyl-methionine) that safely alleviated depression,
arthritis, and certain liver disorders.
• 2004: Reported that optimal glucose levels should be lower than
current guidelines to reduce heart attack risk by 40%. Soon after,
national standards for the upper-scale limit of blood glucose were
lowered.
• 2007: Showed that low blood levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA
and DHA are independent risk factors for heart attack and
angina.
• 2010: Introduced PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone), a compound shown
to promote the growth of new mitochondria in aging cells.
• 2011: Introduced magnesium-L-threonate, a better absorbed form of
magnesium that specifi- cally targets the aging brain and nervous
system to enhance memory and cognitive function.
