In 2003, the Life Extension Foundation® introduced a standardized extract of resveratrol, a natural compound shown to favorably alter genes implicated in the aging process—many of the same genes that respond to calorie restriction or CR. In 2009, we introduced pterostilbene, a compound whose effects were found to work in synergy with resveratrol to activate… Continue Reading
Scientists have intensely focused on finding out how calorie restriction so radically extends life span. In response to reduced calorie intake, beneficial “youth” genes are activated while detrimental “senescence” genes are disabled. These favorable gene expression changes play a critical role in the ability of calorie restriction to slow aging. The good news is that… Continue Reading
Scientists have identified specific biological mechanisms that cause aging people to gain weight … no matter how little they eat. The problem was that there was no way to circumvent the underlying factors that cause excess body fat … until now! As you are about to learn, gaining control over your body’s command signals is… Continue Reading
