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.

Buffered Vitamin C Powder 454 gram

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress.1-8 Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while preventing its oxidation.9,10 Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth.4-6 A major immune-supporting activity of vitamin C is boosting glutathione levels in human lymphocytes,38 cells that make up about 25% of all white cells in the blood.

More vitamin C is contained in the adrenal glands than any other organ in the body and is required at higher levels during times of stress.11-14 Physical stresses on the body such as ingestion of heavy metals,15-20 cigarette smoking,21-24 immune impairment,25-31 extreme temperatures,31-36 and chronic use of certain medications such as aspirin also signal the need for increased intake of vitamin C.37

Vitamin C Powder contains four buffering minerals, in addition to ascorbic acid. When mixed with water, this product produces a reduced-acid solution that is non-irritating to the stomach and intestinal lining. The minerals also make it a more pleasant-tasting and healthful drink. The substances used in this product make it effervesce for a short while when it is mixed with water.

Energy Renew (30)
Reduce general fatigue and maintain energy levels

• Maintain energy levels
• Support vital body activities affected by energy metabolism
• Minimize fatigue-related decline associated with aging

Common complaints about fatigue include low energy, unrefreshed sleep, head or muscle discomfort and weakness. Stimulants such as caffeine offer only short-term relief with possible health consequences.

RiboGen™, a proprietary extract of the French oak tree (Quercus robur), provides unique bioactive polyphenol compounds called roburins. Evidence suggests that roburins support ribosomes, which are the small molecular factories in the cell that create proteins in the body.

Oak wood extract is now being hailed for its ability to support ribosomal biogenesis, the body’s natural way of restoring ailing ribosomes. Researchers found that a regimen with oak wood extract upregulated important genes involved in ribosomal biogenesis.

In a human study, researchers found that RiboGen™ provided the following benefits:

18% reduction in weakness and exhaustion.
44% reduction in unrefreshing sleep.
33% reduction in head discomfort.
51% reduction in joint discomfort.
63% reduction in muscle discomfort.
RiboGen™ French Oak Wood Extract

This product is the ideal option for those who would like to target complaints of general fatigue at the subcellular level throughout the body, including:

Roburins And Chronic Fatigue
The clinical impact of roburin-rich oak wood extract was made evident by a second important human study, this one conducted among patients with known chronic fatigue syndrome. In the study, adults with at least five primary chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms were treated with 200 mg/day of Robuvit® oak wood extract for a minimum of six months.3 A control group that did not use the supplement was also established among patients with the same chronic fatigue symptoms. The scientists found that oak wood extract was productive in alleviating many of the most troubling symptoms of chronic fatigue.

Among those who used the oak wood extract, there were significant reductions for a multitude of key symptoms of chronic fatigue, including:

18% reduction in weakness and exhaustion,
44% reduction in unrefreshing sleep,
29% reduction in short-term memory impairment,
63% reduction in muscle pain,
51% reduction in joint pain,
33% reduction in headaches, and
47% reduction in tender lymph nodes in the armpit and neck.3
Additionally, impressive reductions from baseline were also found in most secondary symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, including:

51% reduction in sensitivity to noise, foods, medications, and chemicals,
38% reduction in dizziness,
58% reduction in depression,
49% reduction in mood swings,
40% reduction in weight fluctuation,
24% reduction in alcohol intolerance,
39% reduction in allergies, and
29% reduction in visual disturbances.
There were no significant changes from baseline in all of these parameters for the patient group not taking the oak wood extract

Cran-Max® Cranberry Whole Fruit Concentrate

Cran - Max contains concentrated cranberry made from the complete cranberry using a unique process, with no added sugar. Each capsule of this product contains powerful polyphenols, organic acids and antioxidants that provide the same benefits as drinking cranberry juice cocktail minus calories. An advantage of Life Extension’s Cran-Max® is that it only requires once a day dosing.

The anatomy of the female urinary tract differs greatly from men, resulting in the need for additional nutritional support for women. A wealth of published studies indicates that cranberry polyphenols may help to support a healthy urinary tract.63-67

Cranberries have been known for decades to promote a healthy urinary tract. Clinical research demonstrates that cranberries’ proanthocyanidins are powerful antioxidants that can reduce oxidative stress.72 A double-blind comparison study confirms that Cran-Max® helps support a healthy urinary tract.73 Each Life Extension Cran-Max® capsule contains 500 mg of cranberry concentrate to promote urinary tract health.66,74-84 Each Cran-Max® capsule also contains:

The synergistic, complete spectrum activity of the entire cranberry whole fruit

Beef Hydrolyzed Collagen

Obs! Kommer i januar 2018 - forhåndsbestillinger for forhandlere er mulig
Beef Hydrolyzed Collagen is the unique combination of amino acids in concentrated levels that can promote healing and conditioning over other proteins especially for bone and joint health care. This low molecular weight protein is easily digested for healthy enrichment in minutes after ingestion. It will not congeal because it has been hydrolyzed for quick assimilation and improved hydration to the connective tissue. Collagen is important to nitrogen balance, now considered an anti-aging product as it supports age related cartilage damage, and collagen loss. The ranchers in the areas of Cordoba, Rosario and Mendoza traditionally raise their cattle in herds that graze freely on the natural grasslands. What we have found through rigorous testing standards by outside laboratories is that we never find insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, steroids, antibiotics or hormones in our collagen or gelatin. GLG has been producing the world’s finest quality collagen and gelatin since our inception in 1922. Our book titled Gelatin in Nutrition and Medicine was originally published in 1945 and today is still viewed as the fundamental source of truth on gelatin and collagen. Our passion endures in our continued research on the role of collagen in human diseases such as Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis. We continually study the current and potential future benefits collagen produces for cartilage, tendons, and yes, bones. Currently, we are conducting an advanced research study on how collagen can benefit bone density. Science says that up to 30% of all the protein in the body is collagen and up to 70% of the proteins in the connective tissues are composed of collagen. Collagen is the precursor of gelatin and, at Great Lakes Gelatin®; we extract collgen first and then form gelatin through congealing processes. Both have the same health benefits. Our Gelatin and Collagen Hydrolysate are all Type l. Don’t let that be misleading to your use Type I, II or III are all found in different molecular weights in tissue. However, once the body ingests any one of the types, it will break down into the least common denominator known as peptides and polypeptides. This is done by the enzymatic action of the stomach. We find no scientific proof that Type III is better than Type I. Traditionally, gelatin is used in the food and pharmaceutical industry to make desserts, soft gel capsules, gummy bears, etc. Our research and development team is proud of the advances they have made in perfecting our Collagen Hydrolysate, which is 95% bioavailable to the human body.
