Longevinex(R) Found to be Superior to Green Tea Molecule in Independent Human Study

Growing body of evidence shows matrix of polyphenols, as provided in
Longevinex(R), exert greater benefit than resveratrol alone. 150-year
lifespan not far off?

SAN DIMAS, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- While molecular biologists
and news reporters present jaw-dropping evidence that a red wine molecule
called resveratrol may usher in the advent of anti-aging pills, other
researchers report that a matrix of small natural molecules, such as those
in Longevinex(R), exert far greater effects than resveratrol alone. For
example, a recently reported human study found the Longevinex(R) dietary
supplement is superior to green tea.

And while Barbara Walters (ABC News) interviews senior Americans who
are living vibrantly active lives beyond the age of 100, she also
interviews experts who now say small molecules that can influence the
genetic machinery within living cells, concentrated in pill form, may make
it possible for Americans to live 150 healthy years on a regular basis.

An optimal matrix for nutraceuticals would provide molecules found in
grapes, sesame seeds, onions and apple peels which appear to work
additively and synergistically, even exerting a greater effect upon the
human genome than plain resveratrol.

While many of the beneficial effects of these natural molecules appear
to be dose dependent, requiring doses that exceed those found in foods,
there may be diminishing returns when supra-high doses of these molecules
are employed.

For example, one study shows that extreme doses resveratrol may impair
the uptake of folic acid (vitamin B9) by intestinal cells. Folic acid is an
essential nutrient required for repair of DNA gene strands and is utilized
by the body to limit the amount of an undesirable blood protein called
homocysteine.

Optimal health benefits appear to be achieved when consuming an array
of polyphenolic molecules in the range of (100-200 milligrams), as provided
in 2-3 glasses of aged red wine, or in well-designed nutraceuticals like
Longevinex(R), which contain no alcohol. Supra-high dose resveratrol pills
(500 mg or more) have recently been introduced, which may be
counterproductive. For example, Achilles heel tendonitis is now widely
reported when using supra-high dose resveratrol pills.

Late in 2007 Steven R McAnulty, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the
Health, Leisure, and Exercise Science department at Appalachian State
University, in the first successful human study of a resveratrol
supplement, reported that Longevinex(R), but not the primary active
molecule (catechin) in green tea, significantly reduces markers of
oxidation and inflammation among endurance athletes at modest doses. The
results of that study were eventually reported at the Annual Meeting of the
American College of Sports Medicine, Southeast Chapter in February, 2008.
