Public service campaigns are encouraging people to eat more fruits and vegetables to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Despite years of media publicity, 85 percent of Americans are not even eating the minimum recommendation of five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Those who do report eating some produce often fail to consume the yellow and purple colored plants that are critical components of such a program. Life Extension Mix™ contains 93 unique vegetable, fruit, and herbal extracts along with high-potency amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and special antioxidants. The Life Extension Mix formula is fortified with botanical extracts that help maintain healthy cells via physiological processes separate from traditional antioxidants. Consumption of these types of plants is being recommended based on research emanating from the world's most prestigious medical centers. The Life Extension Mix has been reformulated to include higher potency extracts and new, updated ingredients. “Next Generation” Pomegranate Fruit Extract. Many products on the market contain pomegranate standardized to ellagic acid – a potent antioxidant. However, subsequent research has shown that ellagic is not the most biologically active and absorbable polyphenol in pomegranate. Punicalagins are the new “shining star.” The ellagic-acid based extract in Life Extension Mix has now been replaced by a high potency punicalagin-based extract. Higher Potency Green Tea. The new Life Extension mix now has the highest potency green tea available with higher levels of the important EGCG. The new Life Extension Mix provides 325 mg of a decaffeinated green tea extract that is standardized to contain 98% (318.5 mg) of polyphenols and 45% (146.25 mg) of Epigallocatechin gallate EGCG) which scientists attribute to green tea's health benefits. The amount of polyphenols (including EGCG) in Life Extension Mix is equivalent to drinking about 3-6 cups of green tea per day. “Next Generation” Chromium. Life Extension Mix now contains a superior and biologically active trivalent chromium complex, a unique food form bio-organic water soluble matrix. It has shown to reduce blood-glucose levels by 33% compared to control. Chromium helps insulin metabolize fat, turn protein into muscle, and convert sugar into energy. Chromium, along with magnesium and biotin, are nutrients required to maintain healthy blood sugar levels in those already within normal range. Life Extension Mix provides 500 mcg of chromium. A review of studies showing the benefits of chromium supplementation reveals that doses exceeding 200 milligrams per day are required for optimal effects.32,33 Higher Potency Magnesium. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. The Life Extension Mix now provides 100% of the Daily Value. |
