Life Extension

A History of Discovery

For more than 40 years, we’ve been motivated by the belief that there’s a healthier life available to us all, if we seek it. This is what inspires us to keep pushing the limits of nutritional science. From introducing a new standard of protocols for blood screening to our industry-first recommendation of low-dose aspirin for heart health, working for a healthier tomorrow is hardwired into our DNA.
