With health claims bombarding consumers on a daily basis, choosing which dietary supplements to take can be a truly daunting task. That is why Life Extension publishes a list of the Top Ten most important life-extending nutrients, drugs, and hormones based on a careful review of the scientific literature.

When compiling our list of the top ten most important steps for achieving ultimate health, the primary factor we consider is the preponderance of scientific evidence that substantiates the health benefits of a particular nutrient. Next, we examine the cost-to-benefit ratio, which means that more expensive choices are ruled out in favor of lower cost items with a similar degree of effectiveness. Finally, convenience also plays a very important part. We want to make sure we provide you with the maximum potency available in the fewest possible capsules, tablets, etc.

Life Extension provides this Top Ten list as a basic guide to assist you in creating your own supplement plan. However, as a member, we encourage you to call our toll-free advisor line at 1-800-226-2370 and speak with one of our knowledgeable health counselors, including nutritionists, a nurse practitioner, and naturopathic doctors, who will be happy to work with you in developing a personalized supplement regimen based on your individual health profile.
