PQQ Caps with BioPQQ 20mg (30)

PQQ Caps with BioPQQ®
20 mg 30 vegetarian capsules

Item Catalog Number: 01647

Mitochondria are the cellular energy generators that supply virtually all the power your body requires for a healthy life span. An abundance of published studies underscores the critical importance of the mitochondria to overall health, especially as we age.1-7 Energy-intensive organs like the heart and brain are dense withmitochondria. Until recently, the only natural ways for aging individuals to increase the number of mitochondria in their bodies were long-term calorie restriction or exhaustive physical activity—which are difficult or impractical for most people to implement. PQQ offers a viable alternative.

The enormous amount of energy generated within the mitochondria exposes them to constant free radical activity. The resulting mitochondrial decay is a hallmark of aging. PQQ protects and augments delicate mitochondrial structures to promote youthful cellular function in three distinct ways:

  • Antioxidant power. Like CoQ10, PQQ is a highly potent antioxidant. Its extraordinary molecular stability enables it to facilitate thousands of biochemical reactions in the mitochondriawithout breaking down, for maximum antioxidant and bioenergetic support.8
  • Favorably modulates gene expression. PQQ activates genes that promote formation of new mitochondria9—and beneficially interacts with genes directly involved in mitochondrial health. These same genes also support healthy body weight, normal fat and sugar metabolism, and youthful cellular proliferation.10
  • Mitochondrial defense. Mitochondria possess their own DNA, distinct from the DNA contained in the nucleus. Unfortunately, compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA are relatively unprotected. PQQ’s antioxidant potency and favorable gene expression profile act to support mitochondrial defense.

PQQ is an essential nutrient, meaning that your body cannot make it on its own. A growing body of research indicates that PQQ’s unique nutritional profile supports heart health and cognitive function—alone and in combination with CoQ10.11,12 This comes as no surprise, given how much energy these vital organs need.

Research shows that PQQ supports heart cell function in the presence of free radicals and promotes blood flow in the heart muscle.13 When taken in combination with CoQ10, just 20 mg per day of PQQ has been shown to promote memory, attention, and cognition in maturing individuals.14

Life Extension has identified a purified, highly potent form of PQQ from Japan that is produced through a unique fermentation process. The result is BioPQQ®, the highest quality PQQ available on the market today.

Neuro-Mag™ Magnesium L-Threonate

Neuro-Mag™ Magnesium L-Threonate
90 vegetarian capsules Item Catalog Number: 01603

Half of the older people in the developed world are magnesium deficient.61 Don’t be one of them! Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body.62 In addition to support for cardiovascular and bone health,energy metabolism and mood, researchers are now focusing intensely on magnesium’s benefits for cognitive function.Unfortunately, it is very hard for your body to maintain optimal levels of magnesium in the brain. This problem is of special concern for maturing individuals, as magnesium deficiency increases over time.

Most commercially available magnesium supplements are not readily absorbed into the nervous system. To overcome this obstacle, you can supplement with an innovative form of magnesium called Neuro-Mag™, shown to specifically target the aging brain and nervous system.

In pre-clinical models, L-threonate contained in Neuro-Mag™ boosted magnesium levels in spinal fluid by an impressive 15% compared to no increase with conventional magnesium. Even more compelling, animal models revealed improvements of 18% for short-term memory and 100% for long-term memory using theNeuro-Mag™ form of magnesium.The suggested daily dose of three Neuro-Mag™ Magnesium L-Threonate capsules provides 2,000 mg of magnesium L-threonate. While this supplies a modest 144 mg of elemental magnesium, its superiorabsorption into the bloodstream and nervous system make it a preferred supplemental choice.

NAD+ Cell Regenerator -Formula 100 mg (30)

NAD+ Cell Formula, 100 mg EU
Cell metabolism-, vitality-, and motivation support

For you, if you are interested in helping to maintain healthy cell metabolism

The nutrients in NAD+ Cell Formula can:

  • Contribute to maintaining vitality
  • Fight fatigue
  • Support youthful cell-metabolism
  • Nicotinamide riboside in NAD+ Cell Formula promotes increased levels of NAD+ in aging cells, thereby contributing to maintaining vitality and healthy energy levels.

Product details "NAD+ Cell Formula, 100 mg EU"

Health benefits at a glance:
Many older people are experiencing fatigue and lack of motivation which might be because of an age-related decline in NAD+ levels, which can impair healthy cellular metabolism. The active ingredient in this formula boosts NAD+ which promotes systemic youthful functions and can be found in every cell in the body.

Why it works:
As the body undergoes natural aging, one may experience having less energy and motivation to do different everyday tasks. This may be due to declining levels of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).

NAD+ Cell Formula can promote systemic youthful functions by providing nicotinamide riboside — a patented compound which plays a role in reversing age-related decline of NAD+ levels. Found in every cell in the body, this enzyme plays a role in helping to maintain healthy cell metabolism. With the highly innovative NAD+ Cell Formula, there is finally a product designed to promote higher NAD+enzyme levels for refreshed vitality.

The science behind the product:
Nicotinamide riboside can increase cellular levels of NAD+ in the body. Nicotinamide riboside has been shown to help replenish cellular NAD+ and can:

  • Promote sirtuin (SIRT1 and SIRT3) „longevity“gene activation.
  • Support energy levels and physical performance by enhancing growth and efficiency of mitochondria
  • Regulate metabolism.
  • Support cognitive function during aging by contributing to neuronal health.
  • Support healthy blood sugar levels in those within the normal range by promoting insulin sensitivity.

How to use:
Take one (1) capsule daily with or without food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
Nicotinamide Riboside does not cause flushing.
