Damaging Impact of Excess Insulin
With age, cells become insulin resistant and lose their ability to efficiently process glucose. Two plant extracts have been shown to slash after-meal insulin by 56% and after-meal glucose by 15% in human trials.
Reduce Risk of Arterial Stiffness
Arterial stiffness occurs when arteries lose youthful suppleness. This loss of arterial elasticity is a powerful predictor of mortality. Human studies show that vitamins D and K inhibit arterial calcification and stiffening.

New Hypertension Guidelines
The American Heart Association’s revised blood-pressure guidelines now agree with what Life Extension® has recommended for 30 years. The cost in shortened lives caused by the establishment’s delay in recognising optimal blood pressure is enormous. Published findings confirm that keeping one’s blood pressure on the low end of the reference range confers significant protection against degenerative conditions.
