EXTRA LIFE absorbs ethylene gas, nature's ripening agent. Interestingly enough, harvested fruits and vegetables actually produce this very gas which is responsible for the rotting process. As the fruits and vegetables ripen, the ethylene gas is released into the surrounding air of the refrigerator. With no place to escape, the gas gets trapped and builds up causing produce to ripen much faster than it would in nature. Enter EXTRA LIFE Produce Saver.

EXTRA LIFE was invented to alleviate this problem. Its active ingredient is completely safe and natural and has been scientifically proven to absorb up to 97% of the ethylene gas in a confined space and slow the ripening process, which helps produce stay fresh longer and retain vitamin potency. Inside the EXTRA LIFE disk is a breathable pouch which contains natural zeolite pellets that have been coated with a 6% solution of potassium permanganate. The ethylene is chemically attracted to the potassium permanganate and is converted to harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide. Once activated and placed into the refrigerator, one EXTRA LIFE disk is effective for 3 months an unbeatable value!

EXTRA LIFE will also absorb ethylene gas in a bowl of fruit on the counter. Simply place the disk in with the fruit and begin the money saving process. The same scientific principles apply.
