Healthy Aging Supplements

The Critical Process Targeted by Aging Supplements

Many people assume that aging is inevitable over time, and to some extent, it is. Every time our cells divide and cellular machinery copies our chromosomes, our telomeres shorten.

Telomeres are the repetitive, non-coding DNA at the end of chromosomes, which play a vital role in preserving the integrity of our genetic information. When the telomeres are used up and the copying process starts cutting into coding DNA, the cells' lifespan is over, leading to illness and death.

While telomere shortening puts a hard cap on human lifespan, the process doesn't happen at the same rate in everyone. Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking, not exercising, and excess calorie intake accelerate the process, making you age faster – and increasing your risk of heart disease, cancer, and dementia.

In contrast, calorie restriction, regular exercise, and a diet with plenty of antioxidants can slow telomere shortening and reduce cancer risk. As a result, you live longer with a healthier, more youthful body.

The best supplements for aging well are essential auxiliary nutrients to slow down or reverse telomere shortening. They complement your healthy lifestyle, cover deficiencies in modern foods produced by industrial agriculture, and counter the impact of pollutants such as PFAS, BPA, and heavy metals in your environment.

Vitamins and Minerals

Our bodies require a complex mix of macronutrients (such as protein and carbohydrates); micronutrients such as magnesium, sulfur, selenium, and potassium; and vitamins such as folate, riboflavin, ascorbic acid, and methylcobalamin (B12) – all in widely differing amounts.

The quality of our diets, our level of physical activity, and, crucially, our age determine how much of each nutrient we need. Taking a good multivitamin can help correct dietary deficiencies, but often these products have skewed ratios of nutrients and are not very bio-available.

For example, many multivitamins contain B12 as cyanocobalamin, a cheaper form than methylcobalamin but one our bodies cannot absorb and utilize as effectively.

Using whole food-based supplements derived from plants, mushrooms, and algae is a better way to get enough of the essential health aging vitamins we need.

The Best Herbal Supplements for Aging Well and the Systems They Affect

We have created three healthy aging supplements to improve heart, gut, and health function.

Because the heart and the rest of the cardiovascular system supply the entire body with nutrients and oxygen and remove waste products, they are essential to your whole body's health. There's no point in taking supplements if the nutrients don't arrive at your cells.

A healthy gut is essential for absorbing nutrients from our food and eliminating waste that would otherwise poison our bodies. In addition, the gut and brain are intimately linked, and enhancing the health of one helps improve the other.

Improvements to these systems also impact our immune, hormonal, and endocannabinoid functioning, resulting in long-term benefits for every dimension of health, helping you to live longer while staying young. The recently-discovered endocannabinoid system is a "master" signaling system that regulates internal balance in our bodies.

Heart Superfood Tonic

We have developed a unique blend of five superfoods that support cardiovascular health and healthy aging. And it's a pleasure to drink, with its delicious pomegranate cranberry flavor.

Fermented Beet Powder and Nitric Oxide

Fermented beet powder boosts the human body's production of nitric oxide, an essential signaling molecule that causes vasodilation in our cardiovascular system. By relaxing the inner muscular walls of blood vessels, blood can flow to our cells more efficiently to deliver oxygen and nutrients.

Relaxed blood vessels mean lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney problems, and dementia, among other common health issues in older adults. Better blood flow to (and from) our tissues also boosts our energy levels, mental performance, exercise performance, and sexual performance.

Our nitric oxide production declines starting in our 30s. By age 65, our bodies produce around 15% as much as we did in our prime. Beets, rich in nitrates, result in healthy older adults absorbing nine times as much nitrate, boosting nitric oxide production in men and women.

Fermented beet powder not only has a higher concentration of nitrates but is also easier to digest and assimilate. Moreover, beets contain high carotenoid levels that protect our eyes against macular degeneration, the number one cause of vision loss in older Americans.

Mushrooms and Beta-Glucans

Reishi mushrooms and oyster mushrooms contain beta-glucans that regulate cholesterol levels, as do nutrients in beets. Around 40% of the US population – particularly older people – have high LDL cholesterol (the "bad cholesterol" that leads to plaque formation and coronary heart disease). Regulating cholesterol helps heart health.

Because cholesterol is a precursor of some hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, optimizing cholesterol levels helps older adults maintain youthful vitality, muscle mass, bone mass, and libido.

Between the effects of beets on our blood flow, and mushrooms on our cholesterol, these are among the best supplements for aging well.

Red Berry Juices and Polyphenols

Cranberry and pomegranate juice and extracts furnish polyphenols and other antioxidants that protect our bodies against inflammation induced by oxidative stress and illness; they also help to lower blood pressure. And, of course, they make this supplement taste phenomenal!

All of these ingredients are vegan, non-GMO, and USDA-certified organic. This product contains no added sugar; all the sweetness comes from cranberry and pomegranate.

Super Greens for a Healthy Gut

If your digestive tract were only about getting nutrients into your body, it would already be foundational to the health of the rest of your body. But gut health goes further: the gut microbiota, consisting of trillions of individual bacteria, affects our immune system, autonomic nervous system, and endocrine (hormonal) system.

So significant is the influence of these microbes on our chemical signaling and cognition that many people speak of the "Gut-Brain Axis (GBA)" and call the gut a "second brain." The effect of a healthy gut on our immunity reduces the number of infections we experience and that may help us to live longer and healthier lives.

Alkalizing Greens

Our Super Greens product contains an alkalizing blend that helps correct the pH in your body to a more alkaline state and aids in detoxing. We blend alfalfa grass, barley grass, wheatgrass, spinach, broccoli, chlorella, and spirulina for a hefty dose of micro-nutrients.

Chlorella and spirulina also provide vitamin B12, otherwise primarily found in foods of animal origin, and essential to proper nerve functioning. These blue-green algae enhance immune function, chelate heavy metals and remove them from your system, boost endurance, and improve heart health.

Antioxidants and Vitamins

Our Super Greens supplement also provides a custom blend of antioxidants and immune-boosting nutrients – such as beetroot, a source of antioxidant anthocyanins, and ginkgo, which offers antioxidant flavonoids and terpenoids and enhances cardiovascular health by boosting nitric oxide production.

Acerola extract, acai juice, raspberry, and blueberry are a complementary suite of berries that provide vitamins C, A, lutein, pyridoxine, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, and anthocyanins. These compounds reduce the impact of stress and infection, enhance vision, and boost nerve function.

It's a no-brainer to drink a serving of this powerful supplement every day and absorb healthy aging vitamins.

Rest-Enhancing and Detoxing Elements

Green tea contains calming L-Theanine and boosts GABA production in the brain, facilitating sleep; research suggests it also hydrates the body even better than water. Eleuthero root acts as an adaptogen, increasing your body's ability to handle stress, while echinacea enhances your immune response and is an antioxidant.

Milk thistle is a time-honored herb for boosting liver functioning and detoxing. As liver function declines after age 40, this ingredient is essential to enhance healthy aging.

These healthy aging supplements can also aid in post-exercise recovery, which means you can partake in the regular exercise your body needs to age well without struggling with post-exercise fatigue or infections.

Fiber, Probiotics, and Enzymes

The mix of alkalizing greens, plus apple, rice bran, and artichoke, give your gut microbes a good blend of soluble and insoluble fiber to feed on. We also add inulin, another prebiotic fiber. These provide a substrate for healthy gut microflora and speed up gut transit time; food sitting in your gut for too long increases colorectal cancer risk.

You may need help maintaining a good mix of microbes in your gut. Our Super Greens gut health supplement contains three non-dairy strains of probiotic bacteria to colonize your digestive system. These are maybe the best supplements for aging well; the tiny passengers in our guts greatly influence our health.

DigeZyme, a blend of digestive enzymes, helps break down the plant-based nutrients in this supplement; plant-based nutrient sources are typically less bio-available than animal sources.

We add a bit of monk fruit extract for sweetness to offset the bitterness of ingredients such as green tea, barley grass, and wheatgrass.

All the organisms used to create this supplement are 100% vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free. Although barley grass is barley, and wheatgrass is wheat, these young leaves contain no gluten; gluten protein is restricted to the seeds (grains).

Brain Superfood Tonic

One of the top things people aging out of middle age worry about is cognitive decline. After all, what's the point of having a fit, healthy body if you are experiencing memory loss, brain fog, and depression? That's why we believe any regime of healthy aging supplements should contain one specifically formulated for the brain.

Our brain superfood tonic is packed with nutrients that sustain brain health, enhance multiple facets of cognition from memory to creativity, and nurture mental well-being. Plus, it has a mouth-watering raspberry flavor from natural fruit and a vivid blue color from a dash of spirulina.

Our Brain Superfood Tonic contains the best brain-boosting supplements that nurture brain volume and connections, decrease stress, improve mood, and enhance mental performance, including memory, creativity, and focus.

Lion's Mane Mushrooms and Nootropics

A 100% pure, powdered extract from whole, dried Lion's Mane mushroom fruiting bodies supplies beta-glucans that regulate cholesterol (an essential nutrient for neurogenesis, the creation of new neurons).

These mushrooms are also loaded with nootropic (thought-enhancing) hericenones and erinacines, which stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), encouraging your brain to form new neural pathways. This can help counteract memory loss and improves learning, boosting your brain power.

These anti-inflammatory nootropics increase neurogenesis in the hippocampus, which lies at the heart of your brain and processes memories, emotions, wayfinding, and creativity.

Dreaming has been shown to enhance recall, integration of new skills, creativity (by consolidating and remixing existing knowledge), and processing powerfully emotion-laden memories. Taking Lion's Mane daily can substantially enhance these processes.

So, even though you're growing older, you won't find yourself battling to remember where you left your keys, getting lost easily, or being overwhelmed by negative emotions.

Moreover, lion's mane mushrooms help control blood sugar, reduce heart disease risk, help prevent ulcers, and relieve mild anxiety and depression.

Citicoline and Neurogenesis

Citicoline is the common name given to cytidine-diphosphocholine. This nutrient occurs naturally in many animal foods – such as eggs and organ meats – but is only found in a few plant foods, notably soy and mushrooms.

This nutrient stimulates phosphatidylcholine in our bodies, increasing the levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in our brains. Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter involved in learning, so having more of it helps to keep your brain's performance sharp and offset the age-related decline in cognitive function.

Citicoline also enhances our bodies' production of phospholipids, critical molecules in all cell walls but of particular significance in our brains, where they make up 30% of brain tissue. Citicoline supplementation thus helps to counter age-related shrinkage in brain volume, making it among the best supplements for aging well.

Cognizin® is a clinically tested, proven, and patented form of citicoline that has been verified to enhance brain membrane formation and increase brain energy, improving overall memory-related brain performance in healthy seniors.

Hormone Regulation by American Ginseng

American ginseng helps protect our brains against free radicals and degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's. It improves memory and alleviates stress-induced hormonal changes, thus helping to prevent or lessen stress-induced anxiety and depression.

Older adults can enjoy the benefits of better cognitive function by consuming ginseng regularly for at least five years.

Ginseng also regulates the immune response and alters the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, controlling hormone levels. As a result, it benefits our brains and heart, bones, and sexual function. Studies have shown that it may help reduce the risk of cancer and regulates blood sugar.

It also may help prevent and alleviate chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and allergic asthma.

It truly is a king among healthy aging supplements!

Ginkgo Enhances Blood Flow

Ginkgo has been shown to help blood flow, improve cardiovascular health, enhance sexual function in men and women, and improve cognition in people with mild dementia (that "brain fog" you may have thought was an inevitable part of aging).

Improved blood flow to your eyes enhances vision and may help to prevent macular degeneration and glaucoma caused by high blood pressure. Ginkgo has also been shown to relieve anxiety.

Beat Stress and Fatigue With Rhodiola

Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) is a potent antioxidant that studies have shown to help combat fatigue, lessen stress, help recovery from burnout, enhance physical fitness and resilience, and stimulate blood flow to the brain to ensure healthy brain metabolism and increase mental performance.

It is also anti-apoptotic, meaning that it delays the process of cell death. However, if you are on antidepressant medication, be careful, as it may cause a rapid heart rate. People with diabetes should also avoid rhodiola, as it can send blood sugar too low.

How Ginseng, Ginkgo, and Rhodiola Work Together

These three plants are potent adaptogens that balance metabolic processes inside our bodies, keeping our brains healthy, relieving anxiety, and improving our moods.

All our Brain Superfood ingredients are non-GMO and vegan. One serving offers just 15 calories and provides an easy and delicious way to support brain health.

How the Heart, Gut, and Brain Work Together

Improving cardiovascular function means more oxygen moving from our lungs to our cells and faster carbon dioxide and other waste products being eliminated. Better circulation also means more nutrients reaching our cells, so if you're serious about your nutrition and supplements, make room for our Heart Superfood Tonic.

Because the gut is where digestion occurs and nutrients are assimilated into our bodies, enhancing gut health with Super Greens increases the benefits we get from food. Moreover, the activities of the bacteria living in our guts have an enormous effect on our neurotransmitters, affecting brain well-being.

Maintain your brain, the center of our thought processes and the master organ regulating your body, at peak performance with our Brain Superfood Tonic.
