Vitamin C plus highly-absorbable quercetin for immune support.
Vitamin C benefits are enhanced with quercetin. So we’ve combined vitamin C with our highly-absorbable Bio-Quercetin, which is up to 62x more absorbable than standard quercetin, to help support immune function and cardiovascular health.
What Is Vitamin C?
Our formula combines vitamin C with highly-absorbable Bio-Quercetin that uses fibers from fenugreek seeds to increase bioavailability up to 62x, which in turn helps maintain healthy blood concentrations and enhances vitamin C benefits, including immune support, collagen production and heart health support.
Help manage oxidative stress and inflammation factors to support immune function with Vitamin C and Bio-Quercetin.
Vitamin C and Bio-Quercetin Benefits
- Protects against oxidation with 1,000 mg of vitamin C
- Encourages healthy immune system function with highly-absorbable Bio-Quercetin
- Promotes collagen formation and healthy iron uptake
- Supports cardiovascular health
Vitamin C and Bio-Quercetin
Vitamin C and your health
Immune health. Vitamin C has a well-deserved reputation for immune support: it helps encourage a healthy immune response, so you can have more days feeling your best.
Cardiovascular health. When we think about vitamin C, odds are we don’t consider it for heart health—but maybe we should. Several clinical studies show that vitamin C helps promote healthy circulation, encouraging everything from healthy arterial blood flow to improved blood vessel dilation.
Respiratory health. Vitamin C also supports healthy lung function. In one clinical study, daily vitamin C intake encouraged breathing quality after exercise.8 In another, vitamin C helped maintain healthy breathing when experiencing an immune response to a respiratory challenge.
Clinically Studied for Greater Bioavailability
In a randomized clinical study, researchers compared the formulated Bio-Quercetin to unformulated quercetin. In a randomized clinical study, researchers compared the formulated Bio-Quercetin to unformulated quercetin. They found that the quercetin formulated with fenugreek fibers led to serum levels up to 62 times higher than unformulated quercetin.
Antioxidant protection, immune health and more
Getting enough vitamin C is vitally important for overall health but the human body can’t make it, so you have to get vitamin C through diet or supplements. In fact, some studies have shown that vitamin C supplementation supports certain aspects of cardiovascular health.
Plus, vitamin C’s biological activity is complemented by the health benefits of the flavonoid quercetin. In fact, vitamin C and bioflavonoids are often present together in healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables, notably citrus fruits.
Highly-absorbable quercetin for immune health and more
There’s a long tradition of using quercetin to relieve the effects of seasonal immune challenges. In a randomized clinical trial, quercetin supplementation encouraged a healthy immune response in physically fit older adults.
Another randomized controlled trial found similar results in trained athletes. And in double-blind clinical trials, quercetin promoted a healthy inflammatory response, reduced oxidative stress and helped maintain overall health.

Heart & bone health
Be sure you have a magnesium supplement that gives your body what it needs for hundreds of enzymatic processes and to ensure you maintain a healthy heart, immune system and strong bones.
What Is Magnesium Citrate?
Magnesium is an important mineral for your health, since it’s required for more than 300 biochemical reactions. But many Americans don't get enough magnesium in their diets. Our Magnesium (Citrate) supplement provides 100 mg in each vegetarian capsule.
Promote cardiovascular, immune system, bone health and more with magnesium.
Magnesium (Citrate) Benefits
- Helps maintain normal muscle & nerve function
- Promotes healthy cardiovascular function
- Supports a healthy immune system
- Helps maintain strong, healthy bones
Well-Absorbed Magnesium
Studies suggest the citrate salt of magnesium is well absorbed into the bloodstream. Our Magnesium (Citrate) contains 100 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule for convenient, highly bioavailable magnesium supplementation.
Magnesium is required as a co-factor in hundreds of enzymatic processes within cells. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, encourages healthy heart rhythm, promotes healthy cardiovascular function, supports a healthy immune system and supports strong bones.
Magnesium also helps maintain blood sugar and blood pressure levels already within normal range, and it’s known to be involved in promoting energy metabolism and protein synthesis.
For a healthy cardiovascular system
Magnesium is a major factor in helping relax the smooth muscles within the blood vessels, thereby maintaining healthy peripheral vascular resistance and promoting a healthy cardiovascular system. Magnesium also supports circulating levels of norepinephrine, serotonin signaling and blood vessel dilation.
For healthy bones
Magnesium positively influences the bone mineral matrix and bone repair and rebuilding. Scientific literature documents the need for a wide range of minerals, including calcium and magnesium, that are vital to maintaining strong, healthy bones.
Additional magnesium benefits
Moreover, there is strong evidence that dietary magnesium intake and supplementation supports the metabolic profile. Magnesium has been shown to beneficially support insulin resistance, serum lipid profiles, a healthy inflammatory response, endothelial function, oxidative stress and platelet aggregability.
The typical dose of elemental magnesium is 100 to 300 mg a day. Supplemental doses in the range of 300 mg daily have been shown to help maintain already healthy blood pressure.

Lutein and zeaxanthin for eye health—Standardized for both trans-lutein and trans-zeaxanthin, the marigold extract in our Two-Per-Day formula promotes ocular health and helps inhibit oxidative stress.
Vitamin D for healthy minds and bodies
We all know vitamin D supports bone health. But vitamin D also promotes healthy cell division, supports immune system health and more. Our Two-Per-Day multivitamin delivers 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 with every serving.
Vitamin C for immune health, arterial health and more
Vitamin C is associated with immune system health, an effect that may result from its ability to scavenge free radicals and protect against oxidative stress, as well as its stimulation of the production and function of white blood cells. Additionally, vitamin C is vital in encouraging collagen formation, the connective tissue found throughout healthy arterial walls, skin, bones and teeth. Our Two-Per-Day formula delivers 470 mg of vitamin C per serving.
B vitamins help maintain youthful metabolism
Your body needs B vitamins to release energy stored in carbohydrates, fats and proteins — energy your cells use to carry out their daily functions. But there's more than one “vitamin B.” And because they are metabolically codependent, B vitamins work together to maintain overall health. That's why our formula contains readily metabolized forms of vitamin B1, riboflavin (B2), vitamin B12, vitamin B6 and more.
Bioactive 5-MTHF Folate
Our Two-Per-Day formula contains 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), a form of folate that is up to seven times more bioavailable than folic acid. This is particularly important for those with certain inherited enzyme variants that make folate metabolism less efficient, since 5-MTHF is already in a metabolically active form.
Mixed vitamin E tocopherols
There are four forms of tocopherol vitamin E. Two-Per-Day provides all four. For biomarkers of oxidative stress and promoting a healthy inflammatory response, evidence shows that combining alpha- and gamma-tocopherols is better than taking either nutrient alone. Our formula provides more than 80 mg of mixed alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocopherols.
Bioactive quercetin phytosome
Our Two-Per-Day multivitamin contains 5 mg of quercetin that has been integrated into a phytosome. A phytosome is a phospholipid sphere that encases a botanical compound, aiding in its absorption and making it more bioavailable, so this quercetin is up to 50 times more bioavailable than standard quercetin. Quercetin supports cellular health, endothelial health, healthy immune function and more.
High-potency minerals, antioxidants and extracts
A multivitamin is not complete without the minerals and other nutrients essential to healthy living. Our Two-Per-Day formula provides 10 times more biotin and twice as much zinc as Centrum® Silver® Adults 50+. Our formula also delivers 100 mg of magnesium and 150 mcg of iodine, as well as trace minerals like manganese and boron.
Alpha-lipoic acid—Alpha-lipoic acid is potent support against oxidative stress that promotes metabolic and nerve health and helps protect vitamin C and glutathione against damaging free radicals.
Selenium—Selenium supports heart and brain health, promotes a healthy inflammatory and immune response, and helps quench free radical activity. Our Two-Per-Day formula has three forms of selenium (200 mcg total): SelenoExcell®, Se-methyl L-selenocysteine and sodium selenite.
Apigenin—This powerful botanical bioflavonoid is found in many fruits and vegetables. Apigenin helps boost the body's natural cellular defenses.
Crominex® 3+ biologically active chromium
Chromium helps maintain already-healthy blood sugar levels. Crominex® 3+ is a highly stable and biologically active form of chromium optimized with Capros® amla Indian gooseberry extract to promote endothelial health and PrimaVie® shilajit for supporting cellular energy.
Everyone should be getting the most out of their multivitamin. There's no simpler way to ensure your body is getting the essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients you need to support your health. But not all multivitamins are created equal—so choose our best: Life Extension Two-Per-Day Capsules.

Our selenium once-daily supplement is composed of three forms of selenium, along with vitamin E, to support healthy aging and overall wellness.
What Is Selenium Complex?
Levels of several health-promoting minerals, including selenium, have been shown to be high among some of the world’s longest-living people. But there are different forms of selenium, which our body makes use of in different ways. So our Super Selenium Complex formula contains three distinct forms of selenium, along with vitamin E, for comprehensive support for thyroid health, healthy aging and overall health.
Selenium helps your body fight a key factor that contributes to aging: oxidative damage.
Super Selenium Complex Benefits
- Promotes the body’s healthy aging pathways
- Encourages healthy thyroid & immune function
- Helps protect against oxidative stress, especially for cardiovascular and brain health
Levels of several health-promoting minerals, including selenium, have been shown to be high among some of the world’s longest-living people. Selenium is available in several different forms. Our Super Selenium Complex Provides three forms of selenium, as well as a small amount of vitamin E.
Antioxidant, thyroid & immune support
Selenium is an important factor in protecting your body from oxidative damage. That’s because a group of powerful antioxidant enzymes in the body called glutathione peroxidases require selenium to function. Selenium has also been shown to support normal thyroid and immune function in healthy individuals.
Cardiovascular health, brain health & healthy cell division
Selenium is a vital nutrient for healthy cell division. But its ability to promote a healthy inflammatory response and quench free radicals has led scientists to explore its beneficial effects related to other conditions involving oxidative damage, particularly for heart and brain health.

Stomach digestion supplement to promote health and comfort
Gastro-Ease™ is a stomach digestion supplement that contains zinc L-carnosine plus Pylopass™, a unique ingredient made from a stabilized Lactobacillus reuteri to support your delicate stomach lining.
What Is Gastro Ease?
Your stomach contains hydrochloric acid to help you break down the foods you eat. This acid would damage the delicate lining of your stomach wall if not for a protective coating of mucus. Gastro-Ease™ contains a unique form of zinc as well as Pylopass™, a unique, heat-treated, stabilized form of Lactobacillus reuteri that supports this protective stomach layer.
Studies show that zinc L-carnosine significantly reduces factors associated with gastric discomfort—in just 8 weeks.
Gastro-Ease™ Benefits
- Promotes stomach health and comfort
- Supports a healthy stomach wall at the cellular level
- Protects and maintains the stomach’s mucosal lining
- Helps maintain a healthy stomach environment
Carnosine + Zinc = Zinc L-Carnosine
The trace element zinc promotes stomach health. And when combined with the amino acid-derived carnosine (as zinc L-carnosine), the effects are even more pronounced. This comprehensive approach is just one of the reasons to trust the science-backed nutritional supplement from Life Extension®.
Zinc, a trace element essential for many functions in your body, also promotes stomach health in a variety of ways. And when combined with the amino acid-derived carnosine (as zinc L-carnosine), the effects are even more pronounced. This is because zinc L-carnosine offers a comprehensive approach to protect your stomach lining and promote gastric health.
A unique form of zinc promotes gastric health
Zinc L-carnosine gets delivered directly to the stomach wall, where it sticks much more tightly than either zinc or carnosine alone, so the beneficial effects of both components specifically target the site where protection is most needed. In pre-clinical studies, it also promotes a healthy inflammatory response, supports a healthy stomach wall and environment, and encourages the production of protective mucus. Zinc L-carnosine supplementation also promotes digestive comfort.
Several clinical studies showed that 150 mg daily of zinc L-carnosine significantly reduced factors associated with gastric discomfort in just eight weeks.
Pylopass™ promotes healthy stomach flora balance
Pylopass™ is made from heat-treated L. reuteri bacteria. Even though these bacteria are inert, they still have many health-promoting effects. Pylopass™ promotes healthy stomach flora by selectively binding with a specific strain that can affect the protective mucus layer and the health of your stomach.
Support a healthy and protective stomach lining and promote a balanced stomach environment with Gastro-Ease™!
