The basics

What are longevity supplements?

Ageing 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 ageing 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

Personalisation

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 Europeans make too little from sunlight, especially from October to March. 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: neutralise 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 ageing and disturbs sleep
• Healthy hormones: testosterone, oestrogen and DHEA decline as we age

Choosing well

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

Look for randomised clinical trials

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