Life Extension Two Per Day 120 tablets

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 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.”1 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; lycopene, 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
5 times more selenium
37 times more vitamin B6
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.
