WHAT ARE YOU CAPABLE OF?
Let’s find out. Any biohacker knows that to truly take control of your body’s output, you need to first control what is input – beginning with what nutrients it receives. This is why Nutrigenomics are a fundamental part of the biohacker’s arsenal. And why they are our passion.
BIOHACK YOUR HEALTHSPAN!
When Big Pharma told an entire industry to zig, we zagged. Now we’re using a groundbreaking new science called Nutrigenomics to help people biohack a healthier life. By studying the effects of nutrients and natural compounds on our genes, we’re creating scientifically-backed products that support cognitive health and promote healthy aging on the cellular level.
Our Nutrigenomic products support the body’s natural cellular function by targeting the main biochemical effects of aging, issues like oxidative stress, natural mitochondrial deterioration and more. By awakening your body’s ability to rejuvenate itself on a massive scale — whether by up-regulating your genes’ ability to produce their own antioxidants, your cells‘ ability to produce mitochondria, or your guts’ ability to regulate bacteria — we’re helping you stay on top of the aging process while delivering the mental clarity and overall well-being you need every day to get the absolute most out of life.
“The first person to live to be 1,000 years old is certainly alive today… whether they realize it or not, barring accidents and suicide, most people now 40 years or younger can expect to live for centuries.”
Aubrey De Grey – Famed Cambridge University Geneticist
We agree with leading researchers that extending human life is inevitable. However, we believe that in order to truly enjoy extreme longevity, we need to biohack our healthspan.
This isn’t a future breakthrough — we have proof it’s happening now.
A recent study conducted by the Intervention Testing Program funded by the National Institute on Aging* discovered that Protandim® extended the median lifespan of male mice by 7%. It’s also been shown to reduce oxidative stress in humans by 40% in 30 days. We’re changing the view on aging.
Looking for evidence? As scientists, so are we — and we’ve got mounds of it. When your products work, the scientific community takes notice and comes to their own conclusions. Our products are tested in peer-reviewed published studies from laboratories across the nation.
WELCOME TO LIFEVANTAGE!!
Better health, better lives, and a better world. We’re using groundbreaking science, and a new approach to entrepreneurship to make life a little better for everyone.
THE FUTURE OF HEALTH! NOW!!
LifeVantage specializes in a new science called Nutrigenomics; researching, testing, and creating products to address the biochemical effects of aging, with the ultimate goal of biohacking the human body to live longer – much, MUCH longer.
In plain English – we agree with leading researchers that extending human life is inevitable, but we believe in order to enjoy that increased lifespan, we need to lengthen our healthspan. This science doesn’t just help you feel good, it lets you enjoy life—which also helps you feel good.
OXIDATIVELY SPEAKING…
One of the main biochemical effects of aging is oxidative stress. Which causes your cells to start wearing down. We’re reversing the process. In fact, in a recent study, the National Institute of Aging found that in male mice Nrf2 was the only supplement scientifically proven to increase lifespan by 7 percent. Not to boast, (well maybe a little) but we are pretty proud of that.
CELL-POWERED LONGEVITY
But we didn’t stop there. The second biochemical effect of aging is mitochondrial decline. Basically your cells lose power. You need that power so that your organs can work efficiently, you can think clearly, and your body can act when it is called upon. When your cells have the power to do their thing, you feel better and you live longer. We’re boosting mitochondrial production so you can keep that cellular energy for as long as possible. Allowing you to keep doing your thing, whatever that thing is.
MAKE THE MOST OUT OF LIFE
We believe working to extend life comes with a responsibility to make that life worth living. And in that, physical and financial health go hand in hand. We’re giving people both with groundbreaking products and the best entrepreneurial vehicle around. No lattes or ping-pong, just the freedom to work on your own terms. Sharing products you’ve had a personal experience with.
The way I look at it:
WWI: USA def. Germany
WWII: USA def. Germany
World Cup: Why would anything change?

How cool would it be to work in an office made entirely out of Lego bricks? While we’re not quite there yet, Hamburg, Germany-based creative studio NPIRE is a lot closer than most offices.
For the last year, employees at NPIRE slowly built a colorful wall of Legos to divide their kitchen space from the hallway. The finished product is the coolest piece of office furniture you’ve ever seen.
According to NPIRE, they used around 55,000 individual Lego bricks to build the wall. It took them almost a full year to finish building it.
“I really like this piece because in general the Berlin Wall has so much history and social attachment to all the different conflicts that have happened in Berlin and in Germany as a whole. In most places they don’t have a wall for graffiti and someone expressing themselves. I really like this one because personally there’s so much detail, it’s very abstract, but you can see what’s going on, you see the different areas, people holding prized possessions. It catches your eye, makes you want to stare at it and take it all in.” – John Linari Matthew Tucker / BuzzFeed
Listen to Dana:
“I think I particularly like this piece because of the scale and the juxtaposition with the surroundings. It’s a really nice balance of chaos and simplicity – the colours are really enjoyable.” – Dana Reynolds Matthew Tucker / BuzzFeed
“I must say that this is the first time I’ve seen this – I’ve been here three or four times in this part of Berlin, and this is the first time I recognise this painting, and I like it because of the idea that someone else is pushing your thumb up. I guess it reminds me of the Soviet Union somehow. That’s why I like it.” – Gianmarco Trapani Matthew Tucker / BuzzFeed
“I like this because it looks like there is a woman trying to keep out all the armies and violence from the planet. You can see how outside this planet there is a spreading rainbow and some roots of trees, and some guys that are partying, they are happy.” – Nicolò Matthew Tucker / BuzzFeed
“I really like this work of art by Peter Russell because the colours are very beautiful, there’s a lot to see, it’s really full, so it catches your eye. Everything on this wall has symbolism that really speaks to me, which makes it very interesting to look at and also the way it is painted is very beautiful. It’s nice that you need to have time to look at it – you have to look longer at it to understand what it means, and what the artist means with it.” – Hanneleen and friends Matthew Tucker / BuzzFeed
“This piece of art seems so incongruous with everything, because you’ve got the history of the Berlin Wall, where you’re entering either the American or Russian sector. I just love that they decide to go with the Japanese sector instead. It’s completely out of place, and for that purpose I absolutely love it. Me with my Russian hat, being in Germany, looking at the Japanese sector. I just love how it all comes together.” – Andrew Allan
“I think this art stands out because it’s predominantly black, which the rest of them aren’t, the rest are trying to be very colourful. It’s remarkably different. The black is fitting, as the days of the Berlin Wall depict a very depressing atmosphere etc, [and] with Tokyo and New York it shows international influences in Berlin. All that combined, along with the depiction of the Berlin TV Tower and the big rotating Mercedes symbol, brings it all together quite nicely.” – Andrew
“I like this piece because it signifies freedom, so humans are able to overcome any type of obstacle and get to the final goal, and it’s colourful.” Matthew Tucker / BuzzFeed
“We like this one because it’s very colourful and it’s a gloomy day, and because it reminds us of the Spanish painter Picasso.” – the Fernandez family Matthew Tucker / BuzzFeed
“I like the dove because it’s on the Berlin Wall, which represents sort of the peace when it was brought down, and then you’ve got the chain instead of the branches [the dove] normally holds, which represents the breaking of the peace. It’s a bit more symbolic than just the branches.” – Melissa Bowen Matthew Tucker / BuzzFeed
Listen to Laura’s friend translate her into English:
“She says that she likes the controversy of it because it reflects modern times, especially the shock, as the people are dressed like really important people from the parliament, government people, and that makes it even more of a shock.” – Laura’s friend Matthew Tucker / BuzzFeed
