The Life Extension anti-aging supplementation program begins with a comprehensive regimen of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. The vast majority of daily multi-vitamin/mineral formulas conform to nutritional guidelines propagated by the federal government and thus fail to offer adequate nutritional support. "Instead of trying to determine what amount of nutrients will maximize health, the government instead has determined the minimal level of nutrition required to prevent overt disease,” says Dr. Miller, author of the Life Extension Revolution. Moreover, most one-per-day formulas use cheaper, synthetic vitamins and poorly absorbed mineral salts. Therefore, a true high-potency, pharmaceutical-grade multi-vitamin/mineral formula that promotes health and fights disease may supply nutrients in amounts that are 10-50 times those in the government’s inadequate recommendations. Rounding out a daily nutritional foundation are antioxidants such as gamma tocopherol, omega-3 fatty acids such as those contained in EPA/DHA formulas, carnosine to minimize glycation, bone-building nutrients such as calcium and magnesium, and vitamin K. Much overlooked, vitamin K directs calcium into the bones and away from blood vessel walls and other organs, adding to the body’s defenses against both osteoporosis and heart disease. Step two is enhancing brain power with nutrients such as ginkgo biloba, acetyl-L-carnitine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and DMAE. Step three entails testing hormone levels and, if needed, beginning a program to restore youthful levels of crucial hormones such as DHEA, testosterone, estrogen(s), and progesterone. Finally, step four proactively corrects reversible risk factors, with specific nutrients for lowering dangerous homocysteine and reducing inflammation and cholesterol as necessary. |
