I have never had an issue with orders until my last one I sent a quick email with the issue at hand and immediately they made it right. No arguments no hoops to jump through.

Why am I being surveyed now?
July 27, 2024

I ordered some items. The order is in transit, so until I receive the order, I have no opinion

Supplements are overrated because of the fillers. I buy elsewhere because of this when I can.

Hi Kenneth, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback! Please note that we use ingredients that have scientific validation for dosage, safety, and effectiveness. Excipients (fillers) play a vital role in the production of dietary supplements. They may assist with achieving uniform density for accurate dosing, evenly dispersing the active ingredient in a pill, protecting active ingredients from rapid inactivation due to heat or moisture, promoting proper disintegration or dissolution of a pill, or sustaining the release of active ingredients into the body over time. In addition to our internal review of the literature for inactive ingredients, all the excipients used in our products meet GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) criteria. GRAS ingredients have undergone extensive testing to ensure safety. Most importantly, they are used in minimal amounts to enhance the quality or the manufacturing process of our products.

Purchased NAC and it has a bad smell. Asked to send product back for another product as it is either a bad product or defected. Was told no. Was going to send the bottle back for replacement. Will never do business with them. At the end of the day many have the same product and all a company had is there level of customer service. Go with Source of Life vitamins. Source of Life has reputable manufacturing in USA AND they have always had excellent customer service. The only reason I went to Life Extension is because my uncle told me about them. My uncle said he is going to Source of Life now. All for a 9 dollar bottle. Penny wise. Pound foolish.

After years of being on medications for BPH, I decided to try an alternate route. Research led me to Ultra Prostate Formula from LifeExtensions. It worked as well as the meds, but without the side effects. BUT...But...But... I had to stop using it because the softgels often leaked, leaving me with a bottle full of oily mess. Now I'm back on medications, and am extremely reluctant to try any of their other products. BTW, I'm 86 years old, a retired editor and writer. My last job was as editor of a peer-review clinical surgery journal.

Terrible customer service
March 6, 2023

I have been putting off doing this because I really like the supplements but the customer service is non existent. I ordered a supplement the end of January. It never came to my house. I tried numerous, I mean numerous times to contact this company for a replacement with no avail. I sent emails, called and even did a live chat, which was useless because they told me to call their number for a replacement. I couldn't even get through. This is so unacceptable when you have a company that alot of people use, the customer should be first priority!

A Long-time Customer
September 2, 2022

I am a 91-year-old man who had 4 sibling brothers who all died in their sixties or early seventies. I have used Life Extension products for twenty-five plus years and am told by my doctors that I am in excellent health. I plan to live to be well over 100 and attribute my good health, in good part, to Life Extension. I have also acquired a very good knowledge of how to stay healthy by reading the monthly magazine published by Life Extension.

The Life Extension company should be called "Life Reduction" due to the maltodextrin content in many of its supplements. Maltodextrin causes diabetes and destroys the gut microbiome, predisposing people to Salmonella poisoning and other intestinal bacterial infections. Maltodextrin causes blood sugar spikes much more than regular table sugar. I found maltodextrin was in at least 18 of the Life Extension supplements that I bought, raising my HgA1c significantly and putting me in the hospital with a severe Salmonella infection. I have not consumed sugar in 30 years, so it was clearly the maltodextrin that did that. Elevating your blood sugar with maltodextrin puts you at risk for ANY infection, including COVID.

LE supplements are a great value. The supplements are clearly researched and affordably priced for the quality of ingredients. If you have questions, they have staff available to answer them. I just recently used the lab work packages and the savings were phenomenal when using the annual sale. Even without the sale I would have saved hundreds of dollars! The work is performed by a major lab company so getting the blood draw is not an issue.

I would highly recommend Life Extension.

Life Extension is the only vitamin, supplement, skin care product I know that regularly publishes the science and research behind subjects like health regularly but also how their products are founded on scientific research and development principles. Everything I've tried from them is backed by science. Products are shipped well packaged. Another strong reason I prefer LE is that everything you need can be found on a single, well organized website. You owe it to yourself to at least visit their website. Unlike other online "distribution centers", the LE website doesn't list a thousand products, just the ones they sell and the ones I like. This company is in it for the long haul. Occasionally a product name will change but usually because its formulation has been improved and the product has been given a new name. I also highly recommend their skin care and anti-aging products. They use additives like hyaluronic acid and retinol but keep the cost manageable so you can afford to use them for the long term.

Nearly every product I have tried from this company produces no results. Most recently, I tried their Benfotiamine when I couldn't get my preferred brand and all that it did is confirm for me that the brand I had been taking was performing exceptionally well and the Life Extension product was doing absolutely nothing. I had always suspected this but now I'm convinced. I won't buy their products again. Its also hard to find any information about their products from outside sources - they know well how to monopolize search engine results. Just another company with no integrity.

I read an article to help brain and blood circulation so I wanted to purchase it. It's called NitroVasc Boost (Berry) CA, 30 stick pack. AFTER I purchased it a warning came up that there is lead in it. NOT GOOD. They should not put that in and at least tell me before I purchase it.

According to them i have every ailment under the sun and I should be dead. I took the blood panel test several times, after speaking to the doctors and tabulating the cost of all the supplements I had to buy, i decided I would be better of taking a vacation to Vietnam, which i did and i lost weight, felt better and did not have to swallow a dozen tablets. Don't get me wrong i don't mind buying supplements but their magazine comes up with some new crap every month and their supplements are full with fillers and they are not the cheapest.

Last of all several years ago they stated Metaformin was bad for health, then they run several pages stating its the best thing since white bread and that even healthy people could benefit from it. Now that was the final nail on the coffin for me, a supplement company promoting a diabetic drug that is far from good.

Dubious marketing standards always trying to sell you something. A few years ago they stated metformin was bad then they write an article stating that everyone even healthy people should consider taking this dangerous drug.

Their supplements are full of bad additives and they pose as nice non profit organization to give you the impression that they are not after your money.

I don't mind them making money but when they say A then go to claim B is better and put substances in their products they know are not good it makes you wonder.

Purebulk.com is a far better place to shop, better prices and pure products

I've been a Life Extension member for over 6 years Shipment is very fast. What I especially like about Life Extension is its annual blood test sale, the informative monthly magazine with its latest health news and the fact you can health advisors for free to discuss your health issues or to review your blood work.

Good site for overall knowledge about anti-aging medicine and they do carry a wide range of supplements. I personally haven't used their supplements before but I have heard good things about this company from other anti-aging doctors. Their magazine is also worthwhile reading if you decide to get that subscription.
