Interesting. I didn't realize they had different web sites. But I see what's happening: They are trying to keep their non-profit foundation activities separate from their magazine and vitamin supplement sales, to help create a legal shield against the FDA which has been trying to shut them down for years. The FDA insists (with good logic) that the Life Extension organization has effectively been promoting its products as (unapproved) drugs. And Life Extension effectively replies "F-U" to the FDA, and fights the FDA in court and in Congress.

It's too bad that President Trump chose to appoint big-pharma-supporter Dr. Scott Gottlieb as head of the FDA, instead of Jim O'Neill, a libertarian who wanted to severely limit the FDA's power.
