Why are longevity supplements so popular?

As science uncovers the cellular mechanisms of aging, many people look to supplements to delay decline, reduce disease risk, and even extend life.

Popular ingredients target:

• Mitochondrial health
• DNA repair
• Telomere protection
• Inflammation and oxidative stress
• Autophagy and cellular cleanup

But not all supplements are created equal — and not all claims are backed by strong evidence.

‍

The top contenders — and what we know

1. Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN)

Boosts NAD+ levels, which decline with age. NAD+ supports energy metabolism and DNA repair.

Evidence: Animal studies show improved healthspan and metabolic function. Human data is still limited but growing. Recently under FDA scrutiny.

‍

2. Resveratrol

Found in red wine and grapes. Activates sirtuins, a family of proteins linked to longevity.

Evidence: Effective in rodents; mixed results in humans. May work better when paired with other compounds (e.g., quercetin).

‍

3. Spermidine

A polyamine that supports autophagy — the body’s cellular cleanup system.

Evidence: Emerging studies show promise in improving cardiovascular health and reducing age-related cognitive decline. Still early-stage.

‍

‍

4. Curcumin

Active compound in turmeric, known for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Evidence: Shown to improve brain and joint health. May support longevity indirectly through inflammation reduction.

‍

5. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

Supports mitochondrial function, especially in older adults.

Evidence: May help with energy levels and cardiac function. Strong safety profile.

What’s missing from many conversations

• Dosage matters: Many supplements are underdosed in over-the-counter forms.
• Synergy matters: Some compounds work best when combined.
• Bioavailability: Absorption can be poor unless specially formulated.
• Long-term data: Most studies are short-term or in animals. Human longevity data takes decades.

Should you take supplements for longevity?

If you’re generally healthy, the most evidence-based longevity tools are still:

• Regular exercise
• Nutrient-dense diet
• Sleep, stress management
• Not smoking
• Community and purpose

Supplements may help — but they’re not replacements for daily habits.

Talk to your doctor before starting any longevity regimen, especially if you have medical conditions or take medication.

Longevity supplements and cryopreservation

For those looking beyond today's lifespan, cryopreservation offers a different route to long-term survival. Some individuals use supplements to optimize their health now — while choosing preservation in case of terminal illness.

At Tomorrow.bio, we support future-focused thinkers who explore both lifestyle enhancement and scientific innovation. Schedule a call to learn how cryopreservation fits into your vision.
