Too many people are dying today as a result of medical ignorance and apathy. The Life Extension Foundation is breaking down the bureaucratic barriers that deny human beings access to validated life-saving therapies.

A year's membership fee is $75 for US residents (US $82 for Canada and US$110 for international). When you renew your 1-year membership, you will receive $95 in Product Credit to be used at your convenience toward the purchase of your choice of nutritional supplements.^†

If you join the Life Extension Foundation today, you’ll receive:

The 1,665-page reference book called Disease Prevention and Treatment. This hardcover fourth edition reveals what doctors are NOT doing to save the lives of their patients and contains novel approaches to prevent and treat 134 medical disorders. The cover price is $49.95, but is sent free to new Life Extension members. Life Extension magazine…an over 100-page monthly publication filled with medical research findings, scientific reports, and practical guidance about using nutritional supplements and hormones to slow aging. Life Extension magazine provides a continuous stream of knowledge about the practical application of new discoveries that enables readers to protect their precious health. Access to a toll-free phone line where members can speak with health advisors and medical doctors about their nutrition and health concerns. These advisors can also help members design a personalized health maintenance program that includes anti-aging supplements and hormones. The Life Extension Product Directory…a comprehensive listing of the most important vitamins, anti-aging supplements, and hormones aging humans should take to maintain or regain their health. An incredible 25-50% discount on nutritional supplements, vitamins and mail-order blood testing services — your savings can greatly exceed your membership dues. All members receive additional exciting benefits and discounts on products and services, including discounts on prescription drugs, offered by select partner companies, such as Hertz, Bally’s and Royal Resorts. Members can earn additional benefits based on their product purchase history through the Life Extension Foundation Buyers Club.

Where Does Your Money Go?

Funding Scientific Research on Anti-Aging Therapies And More

Every time you purchase a product from Life Extension you support valuable research. Research supported by The Foundation has documented the value of various anti-aging supplements and hormones in preventing and reversing cell damage caused by oxidation. This type of research is leading to the ability to save the lives of millions of people who would otherwise die, and to improve the quality of life of all of us as we grow older.

The Life Extension Foundation also funds a scientific program dedicated to the development of new medical uses for advanced low temperature technologies. Fundamental breakthroughs in cryobiology and ice control made by Foundation-funded scientists are leading to remarkable new methods of cryopreserving cells, tissues and organs for transplantation. Over the next 10-20 years, the use of cryo-preserved tissues for the treatment of aging will revolutionize the practice of medicine.

The long-term goal of LEF's low temperature research program is the development of perfected human suspended animation, which will enable physicians to transport dying patients through time for treatment by the super-advanced medical scientists of the future.

The heart of LEF's efforts to extend the healthy human life span is its unique research programs to identify, measure, and develop advanced, new therapies to slow, reverse and, ultimately, eliminate the across-the-board deterioration characteristic of the aging process in humans. Today, aging is the underlying cause of most deaths in the United States and other developed countries. The control of human aging will reduce and, eventually, enable us to remain healthy and vigorous at any age, and allow us to live in good health for centuries.

The Foundation has funded an innovative high-tech research program, which aims to pin-point the genetic and biochemical changes associated with aging. Our objective is to use these data to develop a validated method to measure aging over short periods of time. This method will then be used to screen and evaluate (in highly rapid fashion) the safety and effectiveness of vast numbers of therapies with antiaging potential.

The Foundation has funded lifespan studies in mice to determine the effects on aging and life span of potential antiaging therapies. These studies are being conducted by experimental gerontologists at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, the University of California in Riverside, and the University of Arkansas in Little Rock. The studies have been designed to test the anti-aging potential of vitamins and hormones now being used by life extensionists to counteract biochemical processes proposed (by gerontologists) as primary causes of aging. Some of these mechanisms of aging include oxidative stress (induced by free radicals), declining energy production (mitochondrial disorder), glycosylation (pathological binding of protein and glucose molecules), and loss of methylation capacity (required for DNA maintenance and repair enzymatic actions).

As soon as The Foundation's revolutionary research programs lead to the discovery of authentic antiaging therapies, we seek to incorporate these therapies into clinical medicine and in the nutritional supplements we make available to you as quickly as possible.

Why High Quality In Supplements Is Critical

Understanding Nutritional Supplements

If you take high doses of nutrient supplements over an extended period of time, it is critical that the nutrients contained in these supplements be of the highest purity. The Life Extension Buyers Club has access to a state of the art laboratory where trained chemists conduct assays of its products.

While the primary goal of The Life Extension Foundation is to support research aimed at extending the healthy human life span, we have also assumed the obligation of helping our members to achieve optimal health. In taking on this responsibility, it's hard to ignore the fact that some companies sell fraudulent products.

When members buy products from the Life Extension Buyers Club, they have assurance that the quality of the product is backed by the organization's commitment to achieving an indefinitely extended life span. Members receive significant discounts that enable them to purchase top quality nutritional supplements at prices below those charged by most other companies.

How Members Save Money On Their Supplements
