Independent thinking starts with an informed question.

A chapter in Amarante’s history

How we explored
Life Extension.

Our interest in Life Extension and the longevity movement helped shape how we ask questions about ingredients, product quality and scientific evidence. Our educational voice remains independent of product promotion.

Our research process

We looked beyond the packaging.

We spent months reviewing Life Extension’s philosophy, ingredients, manufacturing approach, quality practices and scientific publications before trying its products.

“Determined to stay healthy, we researched extensively to find products that fit seamlessly into our lifestyle and were backed by solid scientific research.”

A reflection on our personal research process, not independent verification of any manufacturer’s products.

From admiration to informed evaluation

Our approach today

01

Understand the ingredient

Consider what the nutrient does, what evidence exists, and which outcomes were actually studied.

02

Verify the product

Examine formulation, dose, independent testing, applicable Canadian product authorization and safety information.

03

Disclose relationships

If Amarante later has a commercial relationship with Life Extension or another supplier, that relationship should be disclosed clearly before any product recommendation.

About Bill Faloon and the Life Extension movement

Bill Faloon and Saul Kent co-founded the Life Extension Foundation in 1980. Their work helped spark our curiosity about longevity science, nutrition and emerging research.

Interest in extending healthy life is not the same as proof that a particular supplement extends human lifespan. We distinguish the history of a research movement from the evidence for each individual product.

An important distinction: Interest in a company or its philosophy is not an endorsement of every product. Any future commercial relationships will be disclosed clearly.
