How Life Extension compares to similar-catalog brands
Life Extension sits among 5 peer brands matched by DSLD label count; the chart plots catalog size against how much of that catalog remains on-market. Formulation-wise, Life Extension skews toward ingredients outside DSLD's named categories, a separate axis from catalog scale. A similar filing count does not guarantee a similar quadrant.
What the DSLD catalog says about Life Extension
Life Extension places in the 99th percentile of brands by distinct product-label count (rank #15 of 4,271). Catalog size and on-market share are volume metrics from NIH DSLD filings, not quality, safety, or efficacy scores.
