  • Transform your health with top longevity specialists.

1. It is science-based.

Most dietary supplements on the market lack proof on how well the ingredients are absorbed and used by the body effectively. To see real results, opt for a company that is driven by science. Their evidence-backed ingredients are most likely to be:

  • formulated of the right dosage. So, you know they’ll be effective.
  • of the highest quality. And, you know they won’t cause any harm.

2. It works at cellular and molecular level.

Real anti-ageing begins when you start taking care of your cells, not just your wrinkles. At the biological level, a series of interconnected reactions occur that have been linked to ageing and age-related diseases. The best anti-ageing ingredients will:

  • target one or more of the 12 hallmarks of ageing
  • slow down or prevent the risks of age-related diseases.

3. It contains natural ingredients.

What is the best type of supplement?  As a rule of thumb, always start natural. Bioactive ingredients have been around since the beginning of evolution. Besides vitamins and minerals, there are other powerful natural ingredients, including:

  • antioxidants, polyphenols, Omega-3 fatty acids, prebiotics, or probiotics, fibres.
  • enzymes, or molecules endogenous to the body (your body produces them, i.e., CoQ10/Ubiquinol)

As we age, endogenous molecules like NAD+ and CoQ10 begin depleting. NAD+ decline has been linked to virtually all age-related diseases, including metabolic disorders, cancer, or Alzheimer’s. 

Yet, genetics are not much to blame. Environmental and lifestyle factors play a much bigger role in speeding up the decrease of NAD+ and CoQ10 in the body.

By mid-age, your NAD+ levels will be reduced by about 50 %. Supplementing with NAD+ precursors have been shown to restore and maintain healthy NAD+ levels in clinical trials.

David Sinclair and Andrew Huberman are famous scientists who supplement with a precursor of NAD+, everyday. (Or you’d have to eat around 10,000 shrimps or 2000 mushrooms to get the recommended amount of 250 mg). 

You take a pill of each in the morning with or without food, to promote optimal health on a daily basis. This includes better sleep quality, higher levels of energy, improved mood within a few months. 

At Avea, we are committed to providing science-based, longevity solutions that will boost vitality. Our high-quality, double-tested, ingredients work in synergy to restore and maintain healthy NAD+ and CoQ10 levels. This brings us to our last tip of the day.

5. The ingredients work in synergy.

Food is not just fuel, it’s information. It talks to your DNA, switching it on and off. The right nutrients team up to activate your longevity genes more efficiently. Make sure you’re consuming an anti-ageing supplement with ingredients that work in synergy, not against each other. Some ingredients cancel each other’s effects out, whilst some are purely non-bioactive fillers. Stay away from those.

Key Takeaways

So you want to separate fact from fiction when choosing supplements? Follow Avea’s top 5 rules before you start filling up your bathroom cabinet. Ensure you invest where,

  • science is at the core of the company
  • it works by addressing ageing problems at cellular and molecular level
  • data exists that support the benefits of the ingredients in preventing or eliminating age-related diseases
  • it contains natural ingredients and has no side effects

Remember, supplements are not a magic solution on their own, but when combined with a healthy lifestyle, they can contribute to improved health, vitality, and longevity.
