"Adequate intake of vitamins and minerals is key to optimal health. But,
since it is virtually impossible to eat enough food to get all the
nutrients the body needs on a daily basis, taking multivitamin
supplements is the healthy alternative. That is why Life Extension
developed Life Extension Mix™ back in 1983. However, some people are
averse to swallowing the nine tablets per day recommended to get the
maximum health benefits demonstrated in scientific studies.
For those people, Life Extension has formulated a two-per-day
multivitamin supplement that, although not as comprehensive as the Life
Extension Mix formulas, provides the maximum amount of active
ingredients that can fit into two tablets to confer some health
benefits.
A study published in JAMA demonstrated the health benefits of taking
daily vitamins by pointing out. Most people do not consume an optimal
amount of all vitamins by diet alone. Pending strong evidence of
effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults
to take vitamin supplements. The same JAMA issue, in its scientific
review, reveals that inadequate intake of vitamins B6, B12, E, D, and
folate are associated with less than optimal health.
Other crucial nutrients included in the Two-Per-Day Tablets include
biotin, which may be used as part of your diet to maintain a healthy
blood sugar level in those already within normal range;49 lycopene,50
one of the most effective antioxidant nutrients; and lutein, a
carotenoid that is beneficial to eye health.
With relatively high amounts of folic acid, vitamin D3, zinc, lycopene,
lutein, chromium, selenium, and B-complex vitamins, Life Extension
Two-Per-Day Tablets can stand up to any multivitamin supplement on the
market. In fact, compared to Centrum®, Life Extension Two-Per-Day
Tablets provides about:
8 times more vitamin C
6 times more vitamin E
6 times more lycopene
20 times more lutein
10 times more biotin
37 times more vitamin B6
5 times more selenium
50 times more vitamin B1
50 times more vitamin B12
at least twice as much folic acid, zinc and many other nutrients.
Life Extension Two-Per-Day Tablets are an excellent choice for those
seeking a premium-quality nutrient supplement that far surpasses
off-the-shelf brands."
