Healthy aging is arguably the raison d’etre of the entire supplements industry. It starts with filling the nutrient gaps of youngsters and ends by supplementing to support the continued health of an aging body. It’s a much different landscape than the previous anti-aging strategy aimed solely at older adults already suffering the consequences of long-term inflammation and degeneration of the body’s many systems. The future of new product development to help people age gracefully includes these hot topics:   

  • Compelling research around life extension through nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) activators, telomere-lengtheners and increased longevity.   

  • Cognitive health’s  expansion of the market from only older consumers to include young knowledge workers.   

  • Vision health supplements’ rise to prominence as consumers recognize the damage caused by screen use.   

This video is from SupplySide West 2023.
