Statin support
Geranylgeraniol (GG) is the raw fuel for some of the most important biological processes. It’s a critical component of the mevalonate metabolic pathway, which is responsible for cholesterol production, CoQ10 production, muscle protein synthesis and bone health.
GG Pure is formulated with a unique annatto seed extract, one of the most abundant sources of GG in nature. This special extract has been extensively studied for its safety and efficacy, to support the replenishment of GG lost due to aging or pharmaceutical drugs (such as statins and bisphosphonate).
Support CoQ10 and Cholesterol Synthesis
Geranylgeraniol (GG) is the building block of CoQ10, restoring a healthy level of GG may support your body’s natural production of CoQ10 for better heart health and cholesterol metabolism, and protect organs from age-related physical decline.
Support Proteins and Cellular Function
Muscle weakness is one of the most common age-related health concerns, and it’s a common side effect among statin users, researchers have noted that geranylgeraniol (GG) was able to repair and rescue cellular functions that prevent statin-induced muscle damage[1]. It suggests that replenishing GG exogenously can maintain muscle health and function.
Support Bone Health
GG plays a role in protein prenylation in the mevalonate pathway, it’s connected to various cellular processes, including those related to bone metabolism. It supports the activation of vitamin K and proper localization of calcium, which is important for arterial health and bone health.
Whether you're on medication or over 45, GG Pure is an ideal supplement to complement your existing regimen, supporting your overall health goals.

GG Pure helps maintain normal levels of GG, a little known nutrient responsible for some well-known aging problems.
GG is the raw fuel for some of our body’s most important processes, including energy production, muscle building, and calcium and hormone regulation.
It is naturally extracted from the seeds of the Annatto plant, sustainably harvested from the Amazon rain forest.
Researchers have been excited to discover how supplementing with GG can help with the side-effects of statins.
In one study[1], GG completely protected the muscles from statin problems. It not only prevented statin-induced muscle tiredness, but results suggested that GG helps the heart muscle contract to pump blood more efficiently and improved vasorelaxation (widening the blood vessels to improve blood flow).

Geranylgeraniol (GG) helps manage side effects from statin cholesterol-lowering medications. Learn what Dr. Joel Kahn and Dr. Barrie Tan have to say about the breakthrough of GG and why it combines well with CoQ10 for healthy aging.
Your health deserves the best; we take this to heart. Xtendlife maintains full quality control of our supplement products. All products are manufactured in our FDA-registered and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified facility. We adhere to strict guidelines, guaranteeing the safety and efficacy of our products at every stage of production.
Difficult to say as it is a new product and most of the studies have been laboratory-based but it would be reasonable to expect to feel differences within three months.
This was the main factor in developing this product. It should not affect the ability of your statin to lower cholesterol. However, you should always consult your doctor prior to starting this supplement and ensure that there is a 2 – 3 hour gap between your prescription medication and GG Pure.
All supplements should be taken 2-3 hours away from prescription medication. We recommend checking with your doctor before beginning any supplement.
Yes, you can. All our products are formulated to work synergistically with each other.
GG will not help with your cholesterol as it is downstream in the biochemical (mevalonate) pathway.
Our view is a resounding yes. BUT, when you have any condition you should get your Doctors OK before commencing on any supplement regimen.
There is no evidence to suggest taking GG would cause a problem for someone with stents. However, you should consult your doctor prior to starting GG.
Geranylgeraniol (GG) - Xtendlife uses a multi-patented ingredient called GG-Gold™. It is made in a GMP facility in Massachusetts, the USA using a clean, physical extraction process from the Annatto plant. As the material is derived from a natural source, seasonal as well as batch-to-batch colour variation is normal. The difference in colour has no impact on the quality or efficacy. The normal colour range is off-white to light yellow/gold powder. There are no chemicals used during extraction. Every batch of GG-Gold™ is tested by Xtendlife before being used in GG PURE to ensure the highest level of safety & quality.
Yes GG is derived from the Annatto plant. The capsule is derived from plant cellulose.
No, we do not recommend this. The only product we recommend during this time is our Omega 3/DHA fish oil, which has valuable properties to support both the health of the mother and baby.
Fish oil is highly recommended by many medical professionals during pregnancy and breastfeeding to help support infant brain development, as well as systemic organ growth. It can also play a valuable role in supporting the post-natal mood and brain function of the mother. As the baby draws from the mother's precious stores of DHA, they can easily become depleted, therefore supporting levels with a supplement such as Omega 3/DHA fish oil is very wise.
