Longevity Supplements
What are Longevity Supplements?
Longevity supp lements are food supplements that have been specially developed to support healthy ageing and improve the quality of life in old age. Their aim is to slow down cellular ageing, prevent chronic diseases and promote health into old age. They often contain a combination of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids and botanical extracts that are recognised by researchers as promising for promoting longevity.

What ingredients are contained in Longevity supplements?
| Ingredient | Function | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Antioxidants (vitamin C, E, coenzyme Q10) | Protects cells from oxidative stress, supports the mitochondria | Improvement of heart health, reduction of the ageing process |
| Polyphenols (resveratrol, quercetin) | Slow down cell ageing, anti-inflammatory | Promote longevity, support the immune system |
| Adaptogens (ashwagandha, rhodiola rosea) | Stress reduction, promotion of stress resistance | Reduce stress and fatigue, support hormonal balance |
| Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA) | Support for cardiovascular health, inhibition of inflammation | Promotion of cognitive function, reduction of inflammation |
| Amino acids (NAD booster, L-glutamine) | Promote energy production, support cell health | Delaying age-related energy loss, improving regeneration |
| Minerals (magnesium, zinc) | Support muscle and nerve function, strengthen the immune system | Improvement of cell regeneration, support in the fight against inflammation |
- Vitamin C and E: These antioxidants protect cells from oxidative stress, which is considered a major cause of ageing.
- Coenzyme Q10: Supports energy production in the mitochondria and has an antioxidant effect, reducing cell damage.
- Resveratrol: A polyphenol found in grape skins and known for its potential anti-ageing properties. It is said to slow down cell ageing and promote heart health.
- Quercetin: A flavonoid that has an anti-inflammatory effect and strengthens the immune system.
- Ashwagandha and Rhodiola Rosea: These botanicals help the body adapt to stress and improve stress resistance, which contributes to longevity.
- EPA and DHA: These fatty acids from fish oil are known for their heart-protective and anti-inflammatory properties, which reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Amino acids and proteins:
- NAD Booster: Compounds such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) increase the availability of NAD , an important substance for cell metabolism and energy production. NAD is crucial for cell health and is produced less and less as we age.
Minerals:
- Magnesium: Plays a role in muscle and nerve function as well as DNA repair.
- Zinc: Supports the immune system and contributes to cell division and regeneration.
What are the benefits of longevity supplements?
- Slowing down the ageing process: By combating oxidative stress and inflammation, many ingredients in Longevity supplements help to slow down cellular ageing and improve quality of life.
- Supporting heart health: Omega-3 fatty acids, resveratrol and other ingredients promote cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of age-related diseases such as atherosclerosis.
- Maintain cognitive function: Some ingredients such as ginkgo biloba and NAD Booster support brain health and can help to delay age-related cognitive decline.
- Promote stress resistance: Adaptogens such as ashwagandha improve the body’s ability to cope with stress, which can often lead to accelerated cellular ageing.
How do longevity supplements work?
Longevity supplements work in different ways to support cellular health and influence the ageing process. There are also an increasing number of studies and results on longevity and supplements:
- Reduction of oxidative stress: antioxidants in supplements neutralise free radicals that cause cell damage. This reduces the risk of cell ageing and age-related diseases.
- Anti-inflammatory: Chronic inflammation is a major factor in ageing. Ingredients such as omega-3 fatty acids and polyphenols have an anti-inflammatory effect and help to control inflammatory processes in the body.
- Support for the mitochondria: Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells, and their function declines with age. Supplements such as Coenzyme Q10 and NAD Booster support mitochondrial function and help to maintain cellular energy.
Are Longevity Supplements suitable for everyone?
Longevity supplements can be beneficial for people of all ages, but especially for those who want to promote their overall well-being and slow down the effects of ageing. However, they should be used with caution in the following cases:
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women: Not all ingredients in Longevity supplements are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- People with health problems: If you have certain medical conditions or are taking medication, consult a doctor to avoid possible interactions.
What are the risks of taking Longevity supplements?
As with all dietary supplements, there are also potential risks with Longevity supplements:
- Overdosing: excessive intake of antioxidants can increase oxidative stress instead of reducing it. This could have negative effects on cell health.
- Drug interactions: Some ingredients such as resveratrol or omega-3 fatty acids can have a blood-thinning effect and interact with certain medications.
