The basics

What are longevity supplements?

Aging is not one single process. Over the decades our cells make less energy, clear out damaged parts less efficiently, build up inflammation and oxidative stress, and respond less well to key hormones. Longevity science studies these mechanisms and which nutrients may help support them.

Longevity supplements are nutrients and plant compounds that research suggests support one or more of these aging pathways, helping you stay healthier for longer. They fall into a few groups:

Foundational nutrients: vitamin D, B vitamins, omega-3 and magnesium
NAD+ boosters: NMN and NR, which support cellular energy
Cellular clean-up (autophagy): spermidine, fisetin, urolithin A, resveratrol
Metabolic support (AMPK): berberine
Antioxidants and anti-inflammatories: CoQ10, astaxanthin, curcumin, quercetin
Stress and hormone balance: ashwagandha, L-theanine, ginseng

Personalization

How do we know which ones to take?

There is no single stack that suits everyone. The right choice depends on you, so we start with the factors that matter most:

Your age: needs and priorities change decade by decade
Health conditions: what is already going on in your body
Family history and disease risks: what you may be predisposed to
Prescriptions: some supplements interact with medicines. For example, statins deplete CoQ10, and red yeast rice should never be combined with them
Lifestyle: how you eat, move, and how your energy and focus feel day to day

What to take

The foundation, and what slows age-related decline

Almost everyone should take

Vitamin D3 + K2: most people make too little from sunlight, especially in fall and winter. Supports bones, muscles and immunity.
Vitamin B complex: supports energy metabolism and the nervous system. B12 absorption falls with age and is low in plant-based diets.
Omega-3 (EPA and DHA): supports heart, brain and joint health. Most diets provide too little.
Magnesium: involved in hundreds of reactions in the body and supports muscles, sleep and stress resilience. Many adults fall short.

To reduce age-related decline

Autophagy: your cells' recycling system, which slows with age
AMPK: the metabolic energy sensor that supports healthy blood sugar and energy use
Antioxidants: neutralize the oxidative stress that damages cells
Anti-inflammatories: calm the low-grade inflammation that rises with age
NAD+ boost: NAD+ levels decline with age and fuel cellular energy and repair
Lower cortisol: chronic stress accelerates aging and disturbs sleep
Healthy hormones: testosterone, estrogen and DHEA decline as we age

Choosing well

Pick supplements that are proven, and made by people who know what is inside

Look for randomized clinical trials

Many ingredients look promising in a lab dish or in mice and fail in people. The gold standard is a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in humans. Every Augment Life supplement is built around ingredients that have been tested in randomized clinical trials.

Know who makes it

Most supplement brands hire contract manufacturers and never see the production line, so they cannot truly vouch for what is in the capsule. Choose a brand that knows exactly what goes into every product and has each batch independently tested. That is how we work.

Four questions to ask any brand

Is there a human randomized trial for this ingredient?
Is the dose the same as in the trial?
Who actually manufactures it?
Is every batch tested by an independent lab?
