Stop Aging Now! from the prestigious American Aging Association, made up of leading

to slow it down.
Stop Aging Now!, published in 1995, details cutting-edge research showing that
specific vitamins, minerals, herbs and foods have astonishing anti-aging powers.
By popular demand, she produced the first Stop Aging Now! supplements in 1996,
based on information in that book. Since then the supplements have been regularly
upgraded to reflect all the latest research.

contributing to her many charitable and cultural activities, and doing
what she does best - living life to its fullest. She sold Stop Aging
Now to her former Director of Operations Joshua Corn, who now serves as the
company's CEO and whom she had confidence would carry on the Stop Aging
Now legacy and reputation. Jean Carper is a member of the company's
