Understanding Antiaging Supplements and Their Promise

Across the wellness industry, antiaging supplements have surged in popularity, promising to slow the biological clock by combating oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular aging. Ingredients like antioxidants (e.g., resveratrol), NAD+ precursors, and botanicals often claim to extend lifespan or improve vitality. But what does the latest research say about their real efficacy?

A recent segment on TODAY highlights scientists’ ongoing investigations into the biological impact of these supplements, emphasizing the complexity of measuring true “antiaging” effects. Clinical evidence remains mixed—some formulations show benefits in laboratory models, but translating to humans requires rigorous study.

Why Quality Testing of Antiaging Supplements Is Critical

Given the growing consumer demand, it’s paramount that products claiming to slow aging undergo robust testing for safety, efficacy, and compliance. Poor-quality supplements may contain impurities, unlisted ingredients, or heavy metals, which can undermine benefits and pose health risks.
