Super Omega-3 EPA/DHA with Sesame Lignans & Olive Fruit Extract

An abundance of scientific research substantiates the wide-ranging health benefits, including promoting a healthy heart, of omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil and monounsaturated fatty acids-polyphenols in olive fruit.1-9

Super Omega-3 from Life Extension® uses a patented EPA/DHA extraction process that results in a pure, stable and easy-to-tolerate fish oil extract. While most fish oil is distilled to decrease contaminants such as mercury and PCBs, the Pure +™ fish oil used in Super Omega-3 is produced with a patented method that purifies the oil with a highly advanced distillation process to reduce pollutants to virtually undetectable levels. The result is an improved fish oil that exceeds the standards set by international rating agencies.

Sesame Lignans Enhance Fish Oil’s In Vivo Effects

The unstable nature of fatty acids like fish oil limits their biological efficacy in the body. Studies show that when sesame lignans are supplemented with fish oil, the beneficial effects are augmented.10

Sesame lignans help guard against lipid peroxidation, thereby extending the stability of DHA in the body. These lignans also direct fatty acids toward pathways which can help with inflammatory reactions. Super Omega-3 provides standardized sesame lignans to enhance the overall benefits of the improved EPA/DHA fish oil blend.

New Higher Potency Standardized Olive Fruit

To emulate a Mediterranean diet, Super Omega-3 provides a standardized olive fruit extract to deliver the polyphenol hydroxytyrosol, a powerful antioxidant that protects normal LDL from oxidation and counters dangerous free radicals.11-14 Research shows that a combination of olive oil and fish oil supplements helps with inflammation better than a placebo or fish oil alone.15 Therefore, Super Omega-3 provides the equivalent polyphenol content of 6 ounces of extra virgin olive oil.

Super Omega-3 provides a new, higher concentration olive fruit extract standardized for hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and oleuropein polyphenols. Research shows the value of oleuropein in favorably altering gene expression, delaying senescence in specialized skin cells, and helping maintain normal platelet activation.

Life Extension’s Super Omega-3 is a fish oil concentrate that contains a full-spectrum blend of synergistic nutrients, providing a product of the utmost quality to produce optimal effects. For those with a sensitive stomach, Super Omega-3 is now also available with enteric coating.

Calorie Restriction Mimetic Formula
60 vegetarian capsules
Item Catalog Number: 01419

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 a select group of nutrients has been discovered that trigger many of the same favorable mechanisms (including more youthful gene expression patterns) as caloric restriction. Among the most promising caloric restriction mimics and enhancers are resveratrol, pterostilbene, quercetin, and grape seed polyphenols, along with black tea extract. These nutrients have been shown to generate many of the same effects in the body as caloric restriction, without significant dietary modification.1-8 In particular, they help mimic caloric restriction’s favorable impact on genes that influence the aging process.1-8

Calorie Restriction Mimetic Formula includes resveratrol, pterostilbene, quercetin, grape seed polyphenols, and black tea extract to provide even broader spectrum gene expression support in one nutritional compound.

This supplement should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary.

Cognitex is formulated to take advantage of the latest developments and ingredients for cognitive health. The latest ingredient in the Cognitex formula is uridine-5’-monophosphate, a critical brain nutrient.13

Uridine-5’-monophosphate (UMP) is a basic building block of RNA and DNA as well as of phosphatides such as phosphatidylcholine that are critical to optimal brain function and the health of neuronal cell membranes. Naturally found in the milk of nursing mothers, UMP is essential not only for the growth and development of infant brains, but also for healthy cognitive function in aging adults.14,15 Dietary supplementation with UMP may increase brain acetylcholine and phosphatide levels, and enhance some cholinergic functions.16

The Cognitex formula provides other critical extracts that support healthy brain function, such as blueberry standardized with both anthocyanins and pterostilbene.

Blueberry anthocyanins are considered one of nature’s most potent antioxidants and have demonstrated properties that extend well beyond suppressing free radicals.17,18 Pterostilbene, the other blueberry constituent, helps maintain healthy lipid and glucose levels in those already within normal range.19 Importantly, through their unique biological effects, pterostilbene and anthocyanins may help support DNA structure.20

A crucial building block in the brain is phosphatidyl-serine (PS). In fact, brain tissues are especially rich in this nutrient. However, aging causes a decline in the PS content of cells throughout the body including brain cells, which can lead to cognitive decline. Phosphatidylserine helps the brain use its fuel efficiently. By boosting glucose metabolism and stimulating production of acetylcholine, supplemental phosphatidylserine has been shown to improve the condition of patients experiencing age-associated memory impairment or cognitive decline.10,12 Thus, replacing this brain food is essential.

Cognitex contains a compound that mimics the naturally occurring PS in the brain. Sharp-PS® Gold fortified with omega-3 fatty acids delivers PS to the brain to help retard the cognitive degeneration so often seen with advanced age. These unique nutrients have been extensively studied and may be of tremendous benefit for the aging brain.12

The brain is a highly active organ that produces high levels of free radicals. These free radicals can bombard the fatty membranes of neurons and other brain cells causing premature loss of function. Cognitex contains a number of phytonutrient-based antioxidants that work best in a lipid (fat) rich environment like the brain.

While antioxidant nutrients provide essential free radical protection, many have limited capacity once they have spared an electron to balance a free radical. Cognitex contains a novel rosemary extract that is rich in carnosic acid, which provides multi-step protection against free radicals in a process called the carnosic acid cascade.21 At each step of free radical interaction a new compound is formed, which in turn is a powerful antioxidant in itself.

Nutritional support for the brain is challenging as a barrier called the blood-

Ultra Natural Prostate Formula contains the most scientifically substantiated nutrients to help protect the prostate gland and maintain its healthy function.  The formula contains standardized lignans from flax and Norway spruce trees. These lignans convert to enterolactone in the intestine that is then absorbed into the bloodstream where it provides significant biological effects. Enterolactone has demonstrated antiestrogen and anti-DHT effects that are of particular importance for the aging prostate gland.1-3

The other active ingredients in Ultra Natural Prostate Formula are:

• Saw palmetto extract. A number of normal biological events in aging men affect prostate function and structure. Saw palmetto has been shown to interfere with DHT activity in the prostate, inhibit the alpha-adrenergic receptor activity (to support normal urinary flow), and help control inflammatory actions in the prostate gland.4,5 DeepExtract™ extraction technology ensures the most desirable and complete bioactive profile of saw palmetto available. (DeepExtract™ is a patented, ultra high pressure CO2 extraction technology that recovers the high molecular weight compounds such as naturally occurring carotenoids that are left behind by typical low pressure CO2 extractions. This state-of-the-art extraction technology insures the most desirable and complete bioactive extract profile available that most closely reflects the composition of premium, mature saw palmetto berries.)
• Pumpkin seed oil.  Using an advanced supercritical CO2 extraction process, Ultra Natural Prostate with 5-LOXIN® and Standardized Lignans now provides a more potent pumpkin seed oil that is standardized to 85% fatty acids. This new extract provides another rich source of fatty acids to complete those found in saw palmetto.  The majority of high quality pumpkin seed oil supplements on the market only use cold-pressed oil, not a CO2 extract.
• 5-LOXIN® boswellia extract. Published studies show that normal aging and poor diet cause levels of a dangerous enzyme (5-lipoxygenase) to increase, which can affect prostate cells. 5-LOXIN® is a patented extract from the boswellia plant that has been shown to suppress 5-lipoxygenase in addition to other proinflammatory factors.6-10
• Nettle root extract (Urtica dioica). Testosterone converts to estrogen at higher rates as men age. Prostate cells are sensitive to estrogen’s growth stimulatory effects. Nettle root helps support prostate cells against the excess estrogen levels.11
• Pygeum. Normal aging results in levels of certain prostaglandins increasing in the prostate gland. Pygeum africanum extract helps suppress these prostaglandins, keeping the prostate gland placid and promoting prostate comfort.12
• Beta-sitosterol. The most biologically active constituent of pygeum is beta-sitosterol. Beta-sitosterol from other plant sources is included in this prostate support formula.13
• Cernitin®. This European pollen extract has been shown to relax smooth muscle tone of the urethra, counteract DHT, and help regulate inflammatory reactions.14-18
• Boron. In addition to helping protect bones, this mineral has been shown to slow elevation of prostate-s
