Positioning Statement
You try to eat a variety of healthy foods, but you never quite manage
to consume all the whole grains, vegetables, fruits, calcium-rich foods,
and lean proteins that make up a well-balanced diet. It’s time to
balance yourself with LifePak. This exceptional nutritional supplement
provides your body with a variety of micronutrients, phytonutrients,
and antioxidants—compounds essential to optimal health. Scientifically
formulated to support longevity and wellness, it supplies a
comprehensive array of vitamins and minerals to fill the nutrient gaps
your daily diet may leave. When taken with MarineOmega, LifePak
provides a nutritional foundation for a life full of vitality and energy
and free of debilitating conditions associated with nutritional deficiencies
and low antioxidant levels.*
Concept
Enjoying excellent health and staying healthy throughout one’s life-span
begins with eating right. There is a growing mountain of scientific
evidence demonstrating the direct correlation of poor nutrition with
many degenerative conditions that were previously thought unrelated.
As each new clinical report is published, people are reminded of the
importance of eating a healthy diet. A growing number are turning to
more healthy food selections and sources, yet our modern lifestyles
often make it difficult to consume recommended levels of key nutrients
that are essential to our health and well-being. Dietary surveys
continue to confirm a sad fact—the overwhelming majority of people
do not consume optimal levels of key nutrients by diet alone.
Data from the USDA’s most recent national survey released in 2007
(NHANES 2002) showed that most people do not meet even the
most basic recommendations for nutrient intake. Another report
released by the Centers for Disease Control in 2007 indicates that
most individuals consume fruits and vegetables far below the recommended
intake. A study published in the Journal of the American
Medical Association (JAMA) in 2002 reported that low levels
of key nutrients such as the antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E may
increase the risk of several health conditions. Furthermore, the researchers
concluded that, “It appears prudent for all adults to take
vitamin and mineral supplements.”
Making a better effort to consume whole, fresh foods in the right
proportions is an excellent start to improving one’s nutritional health
status. But a nutritional foundation for optimal health and wellness
should include a comprehensive dietary supplement program. A
supplement program can fill the nutrient gaps and act as insurance
against nutritional deficiencies, which studies show to be common
in even the best of diets.
LifePak’s Proven Science—The Measurable Difference
There are more than 200,000 published studies on the antioxidants
in LifePak and nearly 800,000 published studies on its comprehensive
list of 59+ ingredients. Furthermore, LifePak has been
subjected to several clinical studies that have demonstrated specific
antioxidant and cardiovascular benefits from regular and consistent
use of LifePak. Pharmanex’s extensive testing procedures and quality
control processes guarantee a highly efficacious product.*
LifePak Addresses Specific Health Needs with Comprehensive
Formulas in One Product
LifePak consists of individual product formulas scientifically combined
into one convenient product. Each sachet contains one vitamin
capsule, one phytonutrient capsule, and two mineral capsules.
Corrects Nutritional Deficiencies
LifePak improves the foundation of your daily health by supplying the
body with more than 20 essential vitamins and minerals for optimal
health and energy. The 2005 USDA diet guidelines point to some
persistent nutrient deficiencies (vitamins B12 and D for elderly, iron
for pregnancy, etc.) and the USDA has issued the following recommendation:
“…efforts are warranted to promote increased dietary
intakes of vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and fiber

Balances Bone Nutrition
Bone health is a growing concern globally, especially for women.
LifePak provides key bone nutrients in clinically significant amounts to
strengthen and maintain bone health. Bone minerals including highly
absorbable calcium (500 mg) and magnesium (250 mg) are included
in LifePak as the building blocks of bone health. LifePak provides
vitamin D to regulate calcium and magnesium bone metabolism and
vitamin K to help transport calcium to bones. Magnesium and boron
work synergistically for maximum efficacy.*
Balances Immune Support
Vitamins A, C, and E, carotenoids, vitamin B6, and zinc help to bolster
the immune system and give your body the nutrients it needs
to perform optimally. LifePak contains optimal levels of these nutrients
to support the normal function of the immune system and
keep the body healthy. LifePak has been formulated to provide the
nutrients missing from diets that fail to include five to seven servings
of fruits and vegetables.*
Supports Blood Sugar Metabolism
LifePak helps maintain normal blood sugar levels, glucose tolerance,
and insulin metabolism by supplying the body with optimum
amounts of chromium, vitamin C, vitamin E, alpha-lipoic
acid, magnesium, and zinc—important nutrients clinically shown
to support normal blood sugar metabolism.*
Helps Protect the Body with Cardiovascular Nutrients
LifePak supports cardiovascular health through a number of important
mechanisms, including improved resistance of LDL cholesterol
against free radical oxidation, promotion of normal circulation
and blood pressure, and maintenance of normal low blood levels
of homocysteine.*
Helps Protect the Body Against the Symptoms of Aging
LifePak contains proprietary T–egreen 97,® one of the most powerful
antioxidants on earth, to address the central cause of aging—cellular
DNA damage. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is your genetic blueprint
from which new cells are created and healthy cells renewed.
As we age, our antioxidant defense system becomes weaker. At the
same time, the large numbers of free radicals produced in the mitochondria
damage mitochondrial DNA, which leads to diminished
energy production, cellular function, and cellular regeneration. All
of this can lead to symptoms of aging.*
Protects Cells With a Powerful Antioxidant Network
LifePak contains more than 40 antioxidants (including proprietary
T–egreen 97) for cell health. Pollution, stress, and modern lifestyles
produce free radicals that damage our cells. Our bodies are under

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I take LifePak with MarineOmega?
LifePak supplies the body with essential micronutrients typically
deficient in modern day diets, while MarineOmega supplies the
body with the essential macronutrients EPA and DHA typically
deficient in modern day diets. In addition to providing a comprehensive
nutritional foundation, MarineOmega works synergistically
with LifePak by enhancing nutrient bioavailability and
absorption for maximum health benefits.*
Why is it important to take LifePak twice a day?
LifePak is a comprehensive multivitamin/mineral/phytonutrient
supplement that contains a potent blend of nutrients. It should
be taken twice daily to provide your body with optimal saturation
and absorption of vitamins and minerals. Twice daily delivery
also provides your body 24-hour antioxidant protection.
What are the 40+ antioxidants in LifePak?
Beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, alpha-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin,
zeaxanthin, buffered vitamin C, selenium, copper, zinc, manganese,
quercetin, naringenin, hesperidin, alpha-lipoic acid, six catechins

What is an antioxidant network?
There are hundreds of different antioxidants that can help fight free
radicals and reactive oxygen species. Researchers have found that
the body utilizes a broad range of antioxidants that work together
to provide the body with optimal free radical protection. Moreover,
because of this antioxidant network, humans have a need to supplement
a broad range of antioxidants into the diet, such as the
40+ antioxidants found in LifePak.*
What is the difference between LifePak, LifePak Women,
LifePak Prime, LifePak PreNatal, and lifepak nano?
Although LifePak can be taken by all healthy adults, Pharmanex has
tailored unique formulations to meet the specific nutritional needs of
women, pregnant women, and men and women over the age of 40.
LifePak Women contains all the same nutrients as regular LifePak with
the addition of cranberry (urinary track health), additional bone nutrients,
GLA (hormone support), and iron (to support menses). LifePak
PreNatal has been formulated to include only nutrients studied during
pregnancy, and therefore does not contain the full spectrum of phytonutrients
found in LifePak. Special attention was given to provide impressive
levels of nutrients necessary during pregnancy like iron and
folic acid, expertly blended with nutrient sources that ensure good digestive
tolerance. LifePak Prime is intended for men over the age of
40 and postmenopausal women. It shares the same nutrient profile as
regular LifePak but delivers increased amounts of nutrients for additional
joint, heart, bone, brain, and energy support. Lastly, lifepak
nano delivers the benefits of LifePak, LifePak Women, and LifePak
Prime, but with the exciting addition of nanotechnology and the convenience
of MarineOmega all in a twin sachet.*

Positioning Statement
CordyMax® Cs-4® is a proprietary, standardized extract of
Cordyceps sinensis mushroom to promote stamina and vitality
while reducing fatigue.*
Concept
The mushroom Cordyceps sinensis, which produces the proprietary
active ingredient in CordyMax® Cs-4®, has a rich, two thousand
year history. For generations, Cordyceps sinensis has been considered
the premier agent in the Chinese culture for restoring energy,
promoting longevity and improving the quality of life. This natural
material is extremely rare. The mushroom grows primarily on the
Tibetan plateau at altitudes above 14,000 feet and takes five to
seven years to complete its life cycle and produce the natural
product. Due to the scarcity and high price of Cordyceps sinensis,
its use was reserved exclusively for the Emperor’s Palace. For two
thousand years, Cordyceps sinensis was virtually unknown in the
Western world.*
Our exclusive CordyMax® Cs-4® formula is recognized in China as
the fermented cordyceps mushroom product, offering health benefits
most comparable to the rare and protected wild mushroom of the
Tibetan high plateau. Over 15 years of extensive scientific research
resulted in this Cs-4® strain. In fact, CordyMax® Cs-4® has been
placed under intellectual property protection and boasts the only
strain recognized by the Chinese government. CordyMax® Cs-4®
is manufactured according to the Pharmanex® 6S Quality Process
and is standardized by HPLC to guarantee potency and consistent
results by supplying minimum levels of 0.14% adenosine. An
additional test method is used to standardize to <6% mannitol,
which is an indicator of polysaccharide content.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does CordyMax® Cs-4® work?
Numerous scientific studies suggest that CordyMax® Cs-4® can
promote natural vitality through its ability to enhance healthy lung
function and increase the body’s resistance to daily environmental
and occupational stresses.*
Why is CordyMax® Cs-4® unique?
Our exclusive CordyMax® Cs-4® formula is recognized in China as
the fermented Cordyceps mushroom product offering health benefits
most comparable to the rare and protected wild mushroom of the
Tibetan high plateau. Over 15 years of extensive scientific research
resulted in this Cs-4® strain. In fact, CordyMax® Cs-4® has been placed
under intellectual property protection. CordyMax® Cs-4® is manufactured
according to the 6S Quality Process.
Is CordyMax® Cs-4® stimulant-free?
Yes, it is stimulant free because the energetic effects of the product
are due to mechanisms other than a true stimulation of the central
nervous system as from caffeine and ephedrine. Cordyceps increases
energy levels via positive effects on oxygen metabolism, while
stimulating supplements, like ginseng, most likely exert their effects
via adrenal metabolism.*
How are the ingredients in CordyMax® Cs-4® standardized?
Each 525 mg capsule of proprietary CordyMax® Cs-4® is standardized
by HPLC to guarantee potency and consistent results by
supplying minimum levels of 0.14% adenosine. An additional test
method is used to standardize to <6% mannitol, which is an
indicator of polysaccharide content.
Is there anyone who should not use CordyMax® Cs-4®?
Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant or lactating, or
taking a prescription medication consult a physician prior to use.
Is this product safe?
CordyMax® Cs-4® appears to be safe at recommended dosages. In
1987, CordyMax® Cs-4® was the first “Class One” Traditional Chinese
Medicine approved by the Chinese Ministry of Health. “Class One”
Traditional Chinese Medicines are rigorously evaluated for safety and
efficacy in pharmacology, toxicology, and clinical trials.
