The Life Extension Foundation (LEF) is a non-profit research-based foundation headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, established by co-founders Saul Kent and William Faloon in 1980.[1][2][3] Its primary purpose is to fund research and disseminate information on life extension, preventive medicine, anti-aging and optimal health, with a focus on hormonal and nutritional supplementation, deriving much of its income from the sale of vitamins and supplements.
[edit] Activities
The LEF publishes a magazine monthly entitled Life Extension that discusses health research and the use of dietary supplements.[4] Part of the organization’s profits from the sale of supplements and membership dues is used to fund independent research aimed at discovering new therapies for slowing and reversing the aging process. Life Extension has provided financial support to help fund research on cryogenics and anti-aging. The LEF is also a consumer advocacy organization that promotes public access to health products and information.
