Dear customer care,

I've been a LEF member for almost nine years now and am living in Europe. I'm happy you've introduced lefeurope.com this year, but I really don't understand the current pricing increase of up to 25% for Europeans as compared to US people. For example, Life Extension Mix is priced at $73.50 on lef.org. On lefeurope.com, the price is €66.15. However, currency conversion tells me that the 1:1 conversion would be more like 53 Euros: http://www.google.co...3.50 USD in EUR

I do understand that you can't offer 100% loss free currency conversion. However, not a whopping 25% price increase in EUR compared to the USD. And it applied to all the products that I compared as USD vs. EUR. I've always been very satisfied with the quality and want to support your cause as well. But as a student, paying 25% more for the essentials may not be affordable. I would appreciate an official statement on the reasons.

I will post any response I get here. I'd really like to support LEF, but as a student the lack of competitive price is starting to look unaffordable for buying most of my stuff there.

Good initiative, Mixter!
Look out for US LEF's overstock sale, last sale applied to the european customers as well IME. I got the mix powder 14.81 OZ for €44.10 and a bunch of other stuff with no extra tax.

LEF is overpriced anyway, though I commend them for being pioneers in what they do.

Yea, they're not cheap! But I'm pretty impressed with some of their new sups e.g. the Super Booster with Advanced K2 Complex, or their astaxanthin Complex. Or their new mitochondrial Energy Optimizer:

Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxamine from pyridoxamine dihydrochloride) 50 mg
Sodium 25 mg
Carnosine 1000 mg
Acetyl-L-carnitine arginate dihydrochloride 750 mg
Benfotiamine 150 mg
R-Lipoic Acid (as microencapsulated) Bio-Enhanced stabilized Na-RALA sodium R-lipoate) 150 mg
Luteolin (high purity luteolin as Pureolin) 8 mg
