Choroby naczyniowo-mózgowe, wliczając w to udar mózgu, są trzecią z głównych przyczyn śmierci w Stanach Zjednoczonych i najczęstszym powodem kalectwa wśród starszych Amerykanów. Schorzenia te występują, kiedy naczynia krwionośne, dostarczające mózgowi utlenioną krew, są uszkodzone lub ich funkcje są osłabione. Poważnie ograniczony przepływ krwi, pozbawiający nawet na krótko mózg wystarczającej ilości tlenu, może doprowadzić do udaru.

PQQ. Generate Fresh Mitochondria with PQQ
In 1983, Life Extension® introduced a relatively little-known compound called coenzyme Q10. Our review of the literature back then had unearthed data confirming its power to boost the health and energy output of the mitochondria. Today, scientists recognize mitochondrial dysfunction as a key biomarker of aging. To take one instance, researchers have recorded evidence of 50% more mitochondrial damage in the brain cells of humans over 70 compared to middle-aged individuals.

Preserving and Restoring Brain Function part 2
While various factors threaten us with “brain drain” as we age, the good news is that modern science has identified nutrients that can slow or even reverse the progression of this once-inevitable decline. These supplements offer a smart option for maintaining brain health throughout life.

Preserving and Restoring Brain Function part 1
Protecting brain health is vital if the pursuit of a longer life is to have any meaning. According to current wisdom, some degree of cognitive impairment is all but inevitable as we age. That is, unless steps are taken to prevent it. Scientists in Texas recently noted, “As life expectancy increases worldwide, pandemics of cognitive impairment and dementia are emerging as major public health problems.”

Newly Discovered Anti-Aging Effects of Ginkgo Biloba
A review of the current scientific literature might suggest that ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is the ultimate natural product—a veritable fountain of youth. Not only can it improve memory and help relieve the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, but recent evidence also suggests that it can improve mental health in healthy older adults and has uses in treating conditions as various as diabetic retinopathy, intermittent claudication, erectile dysfunction, ulcers, and arthritis.

Depression. New Human Study Confirms Potent Antidepressant Effects of SAMe
Life Extension® introduced SAMe (S-adenosylmethinone) in 1997. Back then it was enormously popular in Europe, but unknown in the United States. The National Institute of Mental Health decided to fund a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that would evaluate SAMe as an additive therapy in those suffering major depression who were resistant to FDA-approved drugs. Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital gave patients 800 mg of SAMe twice daily along with a...

The Lancet Reports Extremely Positive Data on Green Tea
As medical researchers continue to uncover the health benefits of green tea, one might think that these discoveries are of recent origin. In fact, the Western world’s growing interest in green tea’s disease-preventive effects tends to overshadow what Asian cultures have known for thousands of years: that green tea is one of nature’s most potent agents in protecting the body against a host of illnesses, thus offering real hope to those seeking to live longer, disease-free lives.

Green Tea
Scientific research on the health benefits of green tea is expanding exponentially, with more than 1,500 articles published in prestigious journals over the last five years alone. While green tea's medicinal properties have been described for more than 1,000 years, one of its most timely benefits may be supporting weight management by increasing metabolism and promoting fat burning.

Discovering Coffee's Unique Health Benefits
Every morning, many of us sip our coffee with no real thought given to the beans behind the brew. But coffee beans are extra-ordinarily complex fruits containing over 1,000 compounds - only a handful of which have ever been individually investigated by scientists. Not only is coffee packed with antioxidants, but it is the greatest source of antioxidants in the American diet.

How Resveratrol Combats Leading Causes of Death
In 1997, the first scientific paper on resveratrol was published showing that this polyphenol could prevent cancer in experimental models.1 Since then, researchers have documented resveratrol’s ability to favorably modulate multiple processes associated with degenerative disease, from atherosclerosis to obesity.

Lipoic Acid Reverses Mitochondrial Decay
It is estimated that 85% of the oxygen contained in every breath you take is consumed by the mitochondria within each cell of your body.1 The decay of these energy-producing powerhouses in turn lies at the core of most age-related pathologies.
