The Science  

High-potency serrapeptase enzymes work to optimize the body’s recovery processes and immune function.*

What is serrapeptasae and what does it do?
Serrapeptase is a is a proteolytic enzyme, which means that it breaks down protein. While enzymes are best known for breaking down food in the gut, they can also break down compounds elsewhere throughout the body. Serrapeptase is one of those enzymes that works well outside the gut. It has the ability to survive the digestive tract and circulate through the body, breaking down unwanted and damaged proteins anywhere it finds them, and helping the immune system and physical recovery.*

What makes the enzymes in SerraGold better?
While serrapeptase was initially discovered in the digestive tracts of Japanese silk worms, the enzymes in SerraGold come from bacteria of the genus Serratia. This means that they’re 100% vegan, and because of that, they do not need enteric coating and are therefore gentle on the stomach.

On top of that, Enzymedica's proprietary Thera-blend™ technology means that the enzymes found in SerraGold will work throughout the entire pH spectrum found in your body. When other brands’ enzyme formulas may fall short, in almost all acidic or alkaline environments, SerraGold will be effective.

Recommended dose: Take 1 capsule daily on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. More may be taken as needed. Consult with a physician prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition.

Supports Healthy Metabolic Factors

Like most people, you’ve most likely heard of, or even take, omega-3 supplements. Scientists are increasingly excited about the newly discovered effects of another family of beneficial fats — omega-7 fatty acids. Omega-7 palmitoleic acid powerfully complements omega-3 fatty acids with cellular-signaling properties that support healthy metabolic factors associated with:

• Superior cardiovascular health1, 2
• A healthy inflammatory response1, 3, 4
• Optimum normal metabolism of glucose and insulin1, 5, 6
• Beneficial management of hunger and satiety7, 8

Scientific studies show that palmitoleic acid promotes healthy levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL for those already in normal range — after just one month of supplementation at 210 mg.9

Further studies have found within normal range, palmitoleic acid can help balance C-reactive protein levels, 10 optimize insulin sensitivity, 1, 10, 11 and regulate hunger-promoting gastric hormones.7, 8

Life Extension®’s omega-7 supplement contains Provinal® — a highly refined anchovy and/or menhaden oil that is non-GMO. Conventional processing methods result in products with only 25% palmitoleic acid. Life Extension®’s Provinal® Purified Omega-7 is concentrated to 50% palmitoleic acid.

So get all the healthy benefits of the next omega. Try PROVINAL® Purified Omega-7 from highly purified fish oil.

Optimized Carnitine provides three advanced forms of carnitine to optimize cellular energy production for a healthy heart, brain, and exercise recovery.

Benefits at a Glance:

• Optimizes cellular energy production and availability
• Promotes brain and hearth health
• Supports youthful exercise recovery

Carnitine is an amino derivative found in nearly every cell of the body that transports fatty acids to the mitochondria to be used as fuel for energy production. These three novel forms of carnitine work synergistically to get your mitochondria to produce cellular energy fast and efficiently. This boost in cellular function helps to combat the age-related decrease in cellular energy, and is essential for your brain, heart, and exercise recovery.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine

This is the form of carnitine that is chiefly involved in moving fat molecules across the mitochondrial membrane.1 It crosses into the brain from the bloodstream and provides additional energy directly to brain cells.

• Brain Function: Most studies of neurodegeneration use the acetyl-carnitine form. Research has demonstrated improvements in memory and learning as well as mental status and cognitive function.2-6
• Mood Support: Acetyl-L-carnitine enhances the release of dopamine (the “feel good” neurotransmitter) from neurons and helps it bind to dopamine receptors.7, 8 Various studies have exhibited its ability to stabilize and improve mood.9, 10

Acetyl-L-Carnitine Arginate

Acetyl-L-Carnitine Arginate (ACA) is molecularly bonded to the amino acid arginine. ACA induces the outgrowth of the tiny but essential nerve cell protrusions called neurites that underpin memory formation and learning.11

Propionyl-L-Carnitine

Research has shown that Propionyl-L-Carnitine (PLC) plays an important role in protecting the function and health of endothelial cells.12-14 It has shown to help correct an imbalance between the production and utilization of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency used throughout the body. This suggests that PLC may optimize cardiac performance by enhancing energy metabolism and increasing ATP levels.15
In addition to protecting vascular cells from damage, PLC optimizes endothelial function by increasing the production of vaso-dilating nitric oxide.16

As a result of its mechanisms of action, PLC can help improve physical performance, male sexual function, and general fatigue.17-19

Optimized Carnitine provides three advanced forms of carnitine combined into a single formula. All three of these powerful forms of carnitine work together to help your body recover quicker from exercise and support your heart, brain, and nervous system health all at the same time!

Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols & Tocotrienols is an all-natural, oral formula that provides a full spectrum vitamin E for potent antioxidant protection. The term "vitamin E" refers to a family of eight related, lipid-soluble, antioxidant compounds widely present in plants. The tocopherol and tocotrienol subfamilies are each composed of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta fractions having unique biological effects. Gamma E Mixed Tocopherols & Tocotrienols contains the complete spectrum of all eight vitamin E tocopherol and tocotrienol forms.

Benefits at a Glance

• Full spectrum vitamin E
• Potent antioxidant protection
• Provides both members of the vitamin E family — tocopherols and tocotrienols
• Provides the optimal amount and ratio of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta sub-families

Vitamin E is a Family of Antioxidant Compounds

The term "vitamin E" refers to a family of eight related, lipid-soluble, antioxidant compounds widely present in plants. The tocopherol and tocotrienol subfamilies are each composed of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta fractions having unique biological effects.

Different ratios of these compounds are found in different parts of a plant. For example, the green parts of a plant contain mostly alpha tocopherol and the seed germ and bran contain mostly tocotrienols.

Along with other nutrients, tocopherols and tocotrienols are concentrated in the bran layers of the rye grain, and are only present at low levels in the flour endosperm. Tocopherols are also present in algae, mint teas, and other foods.1-4

Vitamin E Provides Potent Antioxidant Benefits

As a family of antioxidant compounds, vitamin E is one of the most researched and most important nutrients to consume daily. One or more members of the vitamin E family may:

• Maintain cell membrane integrity and reduce cellular aging5-7
• Act as a free radical scavenger8-11
• Maintain healthy platelet aggregation12-15
• Promote a healthy nervous system and retina of the eye16-19
• Maintain healthy cognitive function20-25
• Enhance immune function26-29

Gamma Tocopherol is Critically Important

Prestigious scientific journals have highlighted gamma tocopherol as one of the most critically important forms of vitamin E for those seeking optimal health benefits. In fact, studies show the combination of alpha- and gamma-tocopherol supplementation appears to be superior to either supplementation alone on biomarkers of oxidative stress and on inflammatory factors.30, 31

Most commercial vitamin E supplements contain little, if any, gamma tocopherol. They instead rely on alpha tocopherol as the primary ingredient. However, it is gamma tocopherol (not the alpha form) that quenches peroxynitrite, the free radical that plays a major role in the development of age-related decline.32

Tocotrienols Support Arteries and Nerves

Tocotrienols have shown superior action in maintaining arterial health.33-36 In 2010, a team of Asian scientists demonstrated that this class of nutrients, which are difficult to obtain in sufficient quantities through dietary sources alone, may provide superior support in maintaining triglyceride levels already within healthy range in aging individuals.

Just 120 mg per day of gamma-delta tocotrienols (provided in 3-4 softgels) induced a 28% decline in triglyceride levels in the blood after just one month. This wonder nutrient is so effective because of its structure of double bonds in the isoprenoid side chain, making it a great scavenger of free radicals.37

Research has shown that tocotrienols display potent neuroprotective properties and in particular alpha-tocotrienol is being touted as the most potent neuroprotective form of vitamin E.38-42
