Benefits of This Amazing New Product Super energy, vitality, anti-aging antioxidant formula containing acetyl-l-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid, and bioperine. Use Life Extension Complex and you will notice the difference in energy levels and general well-being. Each capsule contains: • Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500mg. • Alpha Lipoic Acid 200mg. • Bioperine™ (aids absorption) 5mg. The 3 main popular and effective ingredients in Life Extension Complex, when combined, work synergistically but are generally sold separately and are expensive. Serving Size : Ingredient Quantity Measure RDA * Serving Size: Take 2 capsules twice a day.

Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) is a cognitive enhancer and neuroprotective agent that protects against a wide range of age-related degenerative changes in the brain and nervous system. ALC is an ester of carnitine that modulates cellular concentrations of free coenzyme A and acetyl-coenzyme A, two compounds integrally involved in numerous cellular functions, including the transfer of fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes for energy production. Here is a summary list of the claimed effects of ACL: ALC or ALCAR reduces brown spots, a universal sign of aging. ALCAR reduces deterioration of brain cells associated with aging. ALCAR reduces risk of Alzheimer's Disease and may slow Progress. ACAR also reduces risk of Parkinson's Disease and may slow progress. Restores NMDA receptors. ALCAR reverses neuroendocrine aging. Restores nerve growth factor function. ALCAR restores mitochodrial activity and cardiolipin to more youthful levels. ALCAR facilitates both the release and synthesis of Acetylcholine. Why Alpha Lipoic Acid is Essential ALA is a vitamin-like compound, first isolated from potatoes. It was designated lipoic acid over 50 years ago, as it was commonly found associated with lipids, or fatty areas of the cell. ALA was subsequently found to be soluble in water and also able to penetrate lipid environments, a property lending considerable versatility to this nutrient. ALA is a nutrient that comes close to being a vitamin. Vitamins are nutrients required for health but, for the most part, produced in insufficient amount (or not at all) by the cells of the body. Under certain conditions of cellular stress, ALA may not be synthesized in sufficient quantities. Thus it could be classified a para-vitamin or conditionally essential nutrient. How does Bioperine™ work? The metabolic process that generates energy at the cellular level in our body is called thermogenesis. While thermogenesis has typically been categorized as a key factor in weight loss, to confine the scope of its function to this aspect alone is incomplete. Thermogenesis plays an integral role in our body's ability to properly utilize the daily foods and nutrients we take in. It sets in motion the mechanisms that lead to digestion and subsequent gastrointestinal absorption. Piperine, in the patented form of Bioperine™ enhances the body's natural thermogenic activity - hence the term Thermonutrient™. This enhancement may be explained as a means of increasing thermal energy sufficient to "power up" mechanisms related to thermogenesis. This in turn results in increased metabolic processes that create a "demand" for "supply" of a broad range of nutrients that contribute to metabolism, i.e. vitamins, minerals, herbals, amino acids, etc. It is as if Bioperine™ activates a metabolic paddle wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood. Based on available research, piperine is unique in its thermonutrient activity. The Advantages of Bioperine™ Bioperine™ is the only s Minimize
