Anti-Age/Energy Formula Claims Info

Directions: Take two Anti-age/Energy capsule daily with 8 oz. of water and with a meal (60 cnt = 1 month supply). Note this patented formula is somewhat acidic and may cause heartburn in <5% of users. If you experience heartburn please drink one more full glass of water and the problem will resolve. If you are taking the Anti-age/Energy formula, the Antioxidant formula and the Multivitamin formula, (our recommendation) we suggest taking the supplements as follows:
1 MVI;1 Antioxidant;1 Anti-age in the AM and 2MVI, 1 Antioxidant and 1 Anti-age in the PM If you cannot remember your evening dose, it is okay to take it all at once, however it is best if you can space out the dosing.

Ingredients: (two capsules contains)
%Daily Value

Alpha Lipoic acid 150 mg *

Co-enzyme Q-10 90 mg *

L-Glutathione 60 mg *

* Daily value not established

Claims:

1.Enhances mitochondrial function and thereby improves efficiency of adenosine triphosphate production (ATP) (Energy production)^1,2,3

2.Preliminary data demonstrates repair of mitochondrial DNA deletions (MtDNA del). Specifically, repairs the common aging deletion (MtDNA del⁴⁹⁷⁷ in humans) and (MtDNA del⁴⁸³⁴ in rats)^4,5

3.Acetyl-L-Carnitine and Alpha Lipoic Acid reverse age related hearing loss in rats⁶

4.In higher doses, ie three-four pills per day, there can be improvement in patients with Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders^{7,8,9,10,11,12,13}
5. This supplement functions to slow some of the processes of aging^{14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21}
