Antiaging Support: Broad Range Suggestions
for Healthy Aging
Aging is influenced by factors including diet, lifestyle,
genetics and the environment. The physical and mental signs
of aging have prompted over 90 million Americans to explore
a number of antiaging products and services. A survey conducted
by The Alliance for Aging Research examined the behaviors
and opinions of baby boomers regarding aging and health. The
results indicated that 67 percent of boomers have made efforts
to eat healthier and 57 percent take vitamins, minerals and
dietary supplements for a variety of age-related concerns.
Our extensive line contains various products for cognitive,
joint, skin, hormone, heart, and macular health, as examples.

in these broad range categories in order to develop some guidelines
