Life Extension Foundation

The Life Extension Foundation: a brief description of its work, achievements and links to some of  its products.

The Life Extension Foundation was founded in 1980. It is a not-for-profit organization which has been at the forefront of nutritional and natural therapy research and also in the front line of action to counter the FDA's autocratic control over our health. The Foundation has been instrumental in promoting the use of new products in the USA - often clashing with the FDA over their sale here.

It searches around the world for methods to slow and reverse human aging; for therapies to prevent, treat and cure the diseases of aging; and for ways to improve the quality of life at any age.

The Foundation provides its members with information and access to the finest, most advanced therapies in the world to prevent and treat premature aging and the diseases associated with aging. It  maintains a large, comprehensive data base of information, protocols and research findings from physicians and scientists around the world. This data base is being constantly updated by weekly sweeps of the latest medical research findings, feedback from hundreds of innovative physicians and scientists, and from surveys of its membership.

The Life Extension Foundation offers only the highest quality products containing pharmaceutical grade nutrients. The quality control program is unparalleled, using state-of-the-art GMPs, an in-house laboratory where the products are assayed regularly, and spot assays from independent laboratories to guarantee the finest quality control.

Profits from the sale of these products are ploughed back into research and development, as well as into the continuous "watch-dog"  operation safeguarding all of our freedoms from Government intervention into our health choices.
