Description
Sure, it's a site where you can buy vitamins and supplements, but LEF.org (Life Extension Foundation) is so much more than an online product catalog. The first thing you should know is that LEF is a non-profit organization dedicated to slowing down the aging process and prolonging healthy lives. To that end, it researches degenerative diseases and develops potential anti-aging therapies. Its medical and scientific boards are made up of experts in both mainstream and alternative medicine. The organization is very careful not to make any warrantees, nor to suggest that their products should replace regular medical care, but it does suggest natural alternatives that its studies have shown to be beneficial. You can read their findings and suggested products for a specific disease or condition by searching on its Health Concerns Selector. By simply entering a health condition in its search engine, the site will show you not only the LEF information but also a wide assortment of papers written on the subject.
One thing that catches your eye on the main page is the plethora of interesting articles; it offers both breaking news stories on health and disease research and archived articles on a myriad of topics. Another feature is its list of most popular products by subject. On its Products page, you can search by categories such as: anti-aging, multi-nutrient formulas, weight management and sports and endurance. Some products are restricted in certain countries, so be sure to check on its Shipping page for the details.
