The Life Extension company should be called "Life Reduction" due to the maltodextrin content in many of its supplements. Maltodextrin causes diabetes and destroys the gut microbiome, predisposing people to Salmonella poisoning and other intestinal bacterial infections. Maltodextrin causes blood sugar spikes much more than regular table sugar. I found maltodextrin was in at least 18 of the Life Extension supplements that I bought, raising my HgA1c significantly and putting me in the hospital with a severe Salmonella infection. I have not consumed sugar in 30 years, so it was clearly the maltodextrin that did that. Elevating your blood sugar with maltodextrin puts you at risk for ANY infection, including COVID.
Tip for consumers:
Do not buy your supplements from this company, unless you want diabetes, gut issues, and a reduced lifespan. No other supplement company that I have ever used has maltodextrin. Just google "Maltodextrin Risks" and read for yourself.
Products used:
Dopa-Mind, Cognitex Elite, Blueberry Extract, PS Caps, PEA Disconfort Relief, Resveratrol, Only trace Minerals, Autophagy Renew, Herbal Sleep PM, Super K Elite, SOD Booster, Prebiotic Cheewable, NK Cell Activator, Muscle strength and Restore Formula powder, and Neuro-Mag Tropical Punch Flavor (powder). There are most likely several others.

I'm loss for words of how this company treated me and insulted me. What was a normal supplement...
Purchased NAC and it has a bad smell. Asked to send product back for another product as it is...
