Longevinex® capsules exceed recently published Good Manufacturing Practices for Dietary Supplements; is still only resveratrol supplement proven to activate Sirtuin 1 DNA-repair survival gene. San Dimas, CA (PRWEB) July 18, 2007 -- Consumers are hearing a lot about resveratrol pills these days and they need not wait till 2012, when resveratrol is scheduled to be approved as a drug. Longevinex® (long-jev-in-ex) has recently been singled out for publicity in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Men's Health, Women's World, National Public Radio, NBC and CBS News because it is the sole resveratrol (rez-vair-ah-trawl) supplement selected for use by laboratory researchers themselves and has demonstrated ability to activate the Sirtuin 1 DNA-repair survival gene equivalent to research-grade resveratrol. Still today, three years after the introduction of Longevinex®, no other resveratrol supplement has been shown to activate the Sirtuin 1 gene nor to demonstrate it retains better than 96% of resveratrol over a two-year shelf life. Resveratrol vulnerable to degradation
Resveratrol is vulnerable to degradation and molecular rearrangement (from trans to cis resveratrol) from exposure to ultraviolet light, heat and oxygen. Special encapsulation procedures are required to prevent this. Longevinex® parallels the quality of research-grade resveratrol, which is sealed in an opaque, airtight vial that is stored frozen to ensure quality. Longevinex® resveratrol capsules are sealed in an airtight environment (internal nitrogen bubble) and never exposed to light or heat, similar to the way resveratrol is preserved in a bottle of red wine. (Patent applied for) Wine bottlers know their product turns to vinegar if there is crack in the cork. For centuries wine has been known to have unusual medicinal properties not provided in grape juice. This is because the fermentation of wine extracts resveratrol to a 1000-fold greater concentration than grape juice and then the dark corked bottle, stored in a cool place, preserves its most precious ingredient, resveratrol. Resveratrol extolled
Resveratrol has been historically extolled by researchers as the molecule that molecularly mimics a low-calorie diet and is responsible for better cardiovascular health among French red wine drinkers (The French Paradox). In animal studies resveratrol has been shown to inhibit an enzyme called fatty acid synthase that converts sugar to fat. "This may be a primary reason why the French are so lean despite their high-calorie diet," says Sardi. Furthermore, resveratrol remarkably preconditions the heart and brain to prevent injury to tissues in the event of a heart attack or stroke, as demonstrated in animal experiments. Recently researchers found that a low concentration of resveratrol eradicates beta amyloid plaque from the brain of animals. Beta amyloid is believed to be responsible for memory loss in the latter years of life. Resveratrol is also an enzyme inhibitor. For example, it inhibits monoamine oxidase, an enzyme that causes mental depression; inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2 inhibitor), an enzyme involved in inflammation; and inhibits telomerase, the enzyme responsible for shortening the end caps (telomeres) of chromosomes. Resveratrol also stifles the spread of disease by its ability to inhibit adhesion of bacteria, blood clots and tumor cells to the wall of blood vessels, as demonstrated in laboratory experiments. Dietary supplement quality
Dietary supplements are of notorious sub-standard quality with experts claiming one in four products are mislabeled and may not even contain the ingredients listed on the label. The problem is more marked in resveratrol supplements. "Longevinex submitted 17 brands of resveratrol supplements for independent lab testing which revealed many brands provided no resveratrol whatsoever and others far less than the label indicated," says Bill Sardi, president of Longevinex.
Longevinex® exceeds newly issued Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) for dietary supplements. Since the contents in Longevinex capsules are suspended in rice bran oil, which acts as a preservative for polyphenols like resveratrol and quercetin, its liquid contents must be placed in a sealed capsule. While GMPs only call for testing of raw materials, Longevinex goes one step further and tests finished goods and does not rely upon test data provided by raw material suppliers in foreign countries. "The raw materials used in Longevinex capsules are quarantined for days to test for contamination, pesticides and heavy metals, prior to production, and then once encapsulated, are re-quarantined and re-tested for contamination and the presence of trans resveratrol," says Sardi. Longevinex employs three antioxidants
Longevinex® provides three powerful mineral-chelating antioxidants in its formula (resveratrol, quercetin and IP6 rice bran), comparable to the three antioxidants in red wine (resveratrol, quercetin, catechin). IP6 rice bran was chosen as a substitute for catechin because it is a stronger antioxidant, uniquely reduces oxygen-induced free radical formation by lowering the oxygen-carrying potential of red blood cells, and blocks crystallization of calcium in the body, says Sardi. Subjective responses
Subjectively, many Longevinex users claim this supplement has given them greater stamina, improved circulation (Viagra-like effects), more youthful-looking skin, better mental clarity and some even report their grey hair has turned dark again. (These subjective responses cannot be said to occur among all users.) Longevinex® has been carefully formulated around a central theory of aging which is explained at the www.longevinex.com website. ###
