Quicksilver Scientific Longevity Elite, Sirtuins + Telomeres, 100ml

I absolutely love this product! I feel energized all day long when I take it. I feel amazing all together! Unfortunately the price was raised so high for such a tiny bottle it’s very disappointing. I’d like to see the quantity more worth the price. I would love be a monthly subscriber.

Not sure about the effectiveness - because after opening/closing the bottle only twice, the lid shattered into several pieces and it is now a $170 waste.

From my research, Quicksilver Scientific's goal with Longevity Elite (LE) was to create an adaptogenic elixir to work within the natural aging process to help one stay mentally and physically youthful, energetic, and mentally acute. In essence, to have a longer "healthspan". The quality blend of ingredients gives credence to that goal. However, I honestly can't say with any certainty that if I regularly take this supplement that I'll reap those benefits. I've had a teaspoonful dose on an empty stomach for the past several days and I "think" I feel sharper and livelier. I'm 50 and take other supplements, so they may also contribute to that, but I'm drinking LE in the morning before consuming any of those (and even coffee). I could swear I feel a boost in mood and energy within minutes, but it may just be a placebo effect. Information on Quicksilver Scientific's website states, "Our master adaptogen and hormone tonic is designed to provide ongoing age optimization support targeting sex and stress hormone balance while targeting AMPK, sirtuins, and telomeres – our foundational longevity mechanisms in the body." There is also a page dedicated to the research that went into LE and numerous articles. It is obvious to me that this is a quality product that a lot of care and research went into. If I had the money, I'd probably make this a regular addition to my supplement regime. I'm fairly confident that over time I'd reap additional, ongoing benefits. As it stands, repeat purchases of LE are not in my current budget. ~ Kort

This Elixir of longevity is thoughtfully crafted by a very knowledgeable person or team seemingly well versed in science and TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine). The product appears to be a wish list dream formula of all the best cutting edge ingredients for life extension and anti-aging. It is a high priced item, but with good reason; the ingredients themselves are all very expensive if bought separately. I don't see low wage earners flocking to spend a day or more of income on this product, but more affluent people may find Quicksilver to be a very worthwhile addition to their health regimens. For the price of a good dinner for one or two at a fine restaurant, this product may support extended life, keep debilitating degeneration at bay, and support recovery from disease. After researching the ingredients, it seems to me the major long term strategy is to preserve telomeres which are involved in cellular division and shorten with each division until eventually cells can no longer divide and then die. When cells can no longer divide, the tissues composed of them degenerate and die. Virtually all of a person's tissues are completely renewed by new cells on a regular basis, other than perhaps, some nerve cells. As a person ages, they go through more and more cell divisions to regenerate tissues, and the telomeres get shorter and shorter putting an expiration timer on life. Scientists have been busy for decades researching ways to preserve telomeres as one of the most promising avenues for radically extending life. Astragaloside IV, and Cycloastragenol extract seem to be the primary ingredients for preserving the telomeres. Pregnenolone is a precursor for many hormones and has neuro-protective effects including supporting mylenization. This supports cognitive function, brain health, and overall nervous system integrity. He Shou Wu is an herb used in traditional Chinese medicine to support healthy aging, longevity, and virility. Zhi Gan Cao has many uses. It is used in TCM to synergize with other herbs, tonify the spleen, support the lungs, and strengthen chi. GS15-4 Fermented Korean Panax Ginseng extract is an extremely powerful adaptogen supporting the body's ability to overcome stresses of many kinds. Panax Notoginseng root has been prized for thousands of years and is used in TCM to control bleeding in various parts of the body. It's also used to support lower blood pressure and support blood flow to the coronary arteries. Ashwagandha root is well revered for promoting calmness over anxiety, but it has many other reputed effects such as boosting testosterone and fertility in men and increasing muscle mass. It also supports lowering cholesterol. American Ginseng is used to support overcoming ED, brain function, immunity, and to boost energy. It is worth noting the TCM aspects cannot be adequately explained from a western medical or science perspective. TCM theory-philosophy is far different than western thought, but no less sophisticated. TCM is thousands of years old and is often more successful at suppporting healing of maladies, especially the chronic kind, than western medicine. Descriptions of ingredients, their metabolism, and biochemistry may at times coincide with TCM uses, but are totally independent of TCM thought. In short, without extensive experience in TCM, it is not possible to appreciate the full rich tapestry that may be woven into Quicksilver's use of herbs. I have definitely felt amped up, energized, and ready to take on the world since the short time ago that I began taking this tonic. I have also been using other supplements whose effects I can't rule out. But I'm optimistic about Quicksilver and believe it's contribution to my newfound vitality is probably very significant. I believe it is a very high quality product worthy of its price. I'm hoping it is the elixir that will transform my life. I give it an enthusiastic five star, "Try It," to those who can afford it!

The product contents weren't available when I requested Quicksilver and I assumed it was a sliver mineral combination - which it's NOT The liquid is slightly syrupy / sweet and has a distinct herbal flavor noticeably ginseng and licorice root which are fairly potent / peppery / spicy warm. > Not overwhelming > Do-able I've just started taking this so can't report on it effectiveness BUT I believe it's a top quality product and expect good results. One thing I did notice was some improved endurance the same day. Only one concern is that this is pricey and likely not with-in folks reach that may benefit from it. This is an adaptogen + hormone tonic. So this is a combination of herbs = natural substances that are known to balance the body and normalize it's ability to handle stress / and body processes. Ginseng is one of the most well known for this process. > 1. Pregnenolone 10mg = used for fatigue and improving energy - Alzheimer's disease - improves memory - and immunity - trauma and stress. > 2. Astragaloside IV extract 10mg = protects and supports the immune system - which helps prevent colds and infections - protects the liver - lowers blood pressure - and helps with diabetics. > 3. Cycloastragenol extract 10mg = known to enhance the immune system - protects the liver - has anti aging / anti stress / anti hypertensive - anti-bacterial properties. >>> 4. Proprietary blend 1,000mg > He Show Wu - (Fo-ti) = is commonly used for condition related to aging such as heart / cancer / memory. > Zhi Gan Cao = Chineese honey prepared Licorice > GS15-4 (fermented Korean Panax Ginseng) = used for improving overall health - strengthen the immune system - clear thinking > Ashwagandha = for many conditions related to stress. > American Ginseng = a stimulant - for headaches - fever - digestion. This is a clear bottle that's painted black to protect the integrity of the liquid. There's no measuring cup - only the screw on cap. Instructions are to take 5mL (1 teaspoon) - hold in the mouth 30 seconds. Best taken on an empty stomach or at least10 minutes before a meal Bottle is only 20 servings. Doesn't need in the fridge.

I got it out of curiosity and waited until I had used the entire bottle before reviewing it. I don't feel especially energized any more than I would with a much less expensive formulation of ginseng, ashwagandha, and astragalus, although I will admit taking it is liquid form probably adds to potency. It does have an interesting mouthfeel as you hold it for the recommended 30 seconds or longer. I can taste the herbs but they are tempered and somewhat overwhelmed by the honey-licorice. Frankly, I don't care for the flavor. I think I can do better with a liquid mixture of Ginseng, Ashwagandha, Maca, Jiao Gu Lan, and Shilajit that is considerably less expensive and probably equally efficacious... Of course, that's hard to know without conducting a study but that's my initial reaction.

Definitely hard to gauge the effects of this supplement. It might be really good and might work, and it might be the modern-equivalent of snake oil. It didn't kill me, but I didn't feel 10 years younger after taking. I hesitate giving this less than an average amount of stars (three) but I honestly think it deserves two. There is no way at all to gauge how effective it is. None. So, while it may be effective, it's $150 for twenty servings-- that's $7.50 per day. That seems like quite a bit for a product you are just trusting might work. It MIGHT work-- in which case it might be totally worth it, but it's really a product you are just trusting and hoping might work. Since 20 days of this elixir is not long enough to really gauge any difference at all in my body, I'm not comfortable reordering. For all I know, I'm way missing out and deciding to not reorder means I'll die five years sooner than I would if I kept repurchasing every 20 days. I guess that's a chance I'll have to take. And for all I know, this specific supplement would take the place of three other supplements I might take that cost the same together. Maybe this is the only one I should take at $150 every 20 days. Hard to tell. Doesn't seem worth it to me, no way to gauge even though it might be every bit as fantastic as it's advertised to be.

This formula focuses primarily on delivering Chinese adaptogenic roots in liquid form. The main ingredients are pregnenolone, a precursor hormone that the body can use to manufacture the hormones it needs to function optimally, (although the manufacturer claims it’s not there primarily for this purpose but to maintain the balance of the formula,) and two forms of astragalus extract. Astragalus is used for many things, among them being an antioxidant which supports the immune system as well as good digestion. The other ingredients include He Shou Wu, a Chinese tonic which is purported to support longevity. The literal meaning of the name is “black hair.” Many people claim it can take away the grey. Personally, my grey hair has gone back to its original brown color. I attribute at least some of that to taking He Shou Wu for a long period prior to acquiring this product. I also have a rather serious nutritional program, so I can’t say it was the sole reason this occurred, but I’m pretty certain it helped. This formula also contains Zhi Gan Cao, a honey prepared form of Chinese licorice that is said, according to American Dragon herbs, “to increase the ability to tonify the Middle, augment the Heart and Spleen and harmonize the properties of other herbs.” It is a tonic. This formula also contains extracts of Korean and American ginseng. For 1000’s of years, Ginseng has been thought to support health and longevity. Overall, I think this is a powerful formula that should increase energy and make the user feel more energetic and alert. I also believe it to be capable of increasing libido, which I am definitely experiencing. It’s a solid formula and although not cheap, (in fact many would say it’s way over-priced,) it is a very high quality adaptogenic powerhouse.
