Discovering Scientific Breakthroughs, Developing Novel Treatment Protocols
For 33 years, the Life Extension Foundation (LEF) of Fort Lauderdale, FL, has been a leader in funding and reporting the latest anti-aging research and integrative health therapies. LEF has donated more than $100 million to anti-aging and disease prevention studies. A trailblazer in the $28 billion U.S. dietary supplement industry, the Life Extension Foundation Buyers Club, a separate corporation, offers consumers a full range of premium-quality vitamins, minerals and hormones as well as unique, specially made formulas.
Company History
Since its inception in 1980, LEF has been at the forefront of discovering new scientific breakthroughs for use in developing novel disease prevention and treatment protocols to improve the quality of life and human life span. Funded through private contributions, membership dues and royalties from product sales by the Life Extension Foundation Buyers Club, LEF has become the largest organization of its kind in the world.
Future Goals
LEF will continue to fund scientific and medical research, report new discoveries, as well as disseminate innovative findings concerning the diseases that threaten many of us, such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
