Aging is the process of growing older, which involves a progressive deterioration of physiological functions and an accumulation of damage over time. Healthy aging is about maintaining physical and mental wellbeing to live a quality life as you get older by focusing on healthy lifestyle choices, staying active and adapting to environment. It involves nurturing your body and mind with proper nutrition, exercise and social engagement[1][2].
Nutrition21 predicts and pioneer innovation that will transform healthy aging, promoting longevity and wellness worldwide
Introduction:
Aging is the process of growing older, which involves a progressive deterioration of physiological functions and an accumulation of damage over time. Healthy aging is about maintaining physical and mental wellbeing to live a quality life as you get older by focusing on healthy lifestyle choices, staying active and adapting to environment. It involves nurturing your body and mind with proper nutrition, exercise and social engagement[1][2].
In alignment with this vision, Nutrition21 innovations have forecasted the evolving needs of consumers by 2030 in their white paper “The Future of Aging Well”. The company’s research underscores how nutraceutical science and innovation will reshape the landscape of dietary supplements for healthy aging, focusing on clinically validated, functional, and sustainable ingredient technologies.
Ingredient research on Nurition21
- Lustriva®
- Lustriva® is a patented, one-of-a-kind blend of Bonded Arginine Silicate and Magnesium Biotinate delivering unique and bioavailable forms of silicon and biotin that work together to promote healthier hair and skin.
- It is clinically shown to support existing hair growth in as few as three weeks providing a fuller and thicker look while improving the appearance of skin within twelve weeks.
- Represents a strong example of nutraceutical formulation and development where targeted functional ingredients for longevity enhance structural protein synthesis and cellular vitality.
- Nitrosigine®
- It is the premier nitric oxide booster and the key to healthy aging and total body optimization.
- It is a patented complex of Bonded Arginine Silicate that provides a unique bioavailable form of arginine – the most essential nutrient in the body for producing nitric oxide.
- This promotes the production of nitric oxide that supports healthy aging on all fronts – physical performance, sexual vitality, cognition, and cardiovascular health —core aspects of nutraceutical product development designed for whole-body rejuvenation.
- nooLVL®
- It is a patented complex ingredient of Bonded Arginine Silicate and Inositol that gives a noticeable effect on focus in as little as 15 minutes, without the negative side effects of stimulants.
- Bonded Arginine Silicate and Inositol work together as a unique ingredient to provide optimal performance of the brain and work to improve energy levels
- Zinmax®
- It is a functional ingredient for longevity. It is made of high-quality Zinc Picolinate, which is an effective complex with better absorption compared to other forms of zinc, allowing the many benefits of zinc to be more bioavailable.
- Zinc is an essential mineral necessary for key physiological functions throughout life, from growth and development to healthy aging – including a healthy immune response, cardiovascular health, and cellular metabolism —vital components in the science of dietary supplements for healthy aging.
Scientific evidence – Clinical Study
- Bonded Arginine Silicate (ASI) and Magnesium Biotinate (MgB)
- In a randomized controlled trial with multiple groups receiving different doses, the intervention significantly reduced macroscopic indication of skin damage from UVB.
- Serum concentrations of magnesium, biotin and arginine were increased by ASI+MgB and skin hydroxyproline, biotinidase activity were enhanced, promoting biotin-dependent carboxylases and suppression of inflammatory signaling pathways (mTOR, NFκB, AP-1, MAPKs).
- The treatment also decreased inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) and decreased signs of apoptotic markers, demonstrating a strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic response that may protect skin health from UVB-induced photoaging.
- ASI shows anti-aging properties due to primary production of nitric oxide. [3]
- These findings highlight nutraceutical science and innovation in nutraceutical formulation and development, validating ASI+MgB’s anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic roles in skin protection and healthy aging.
- Inositol
- A clinical trial conducted in a double-blind, placebo-controlled design was conducted with healthy adult gamers to assess the impacts of bound arginine silicate inositol on cognitive function in esports gamers.
- Healthy adult gamers received a single dose at 1600mg that results in significant enhancement in concentration, attention, reaction time, and working memory, assessed 15 minutes following the single dose and sustained for one hour of gaming.
- As a result of the treatment, gamers errors were reduced in approximately 66% of the responses made and participants reported improvements in motor speed, visual processing, and perceived energy without side effects of traditional stimulants. [4]
- Zinc supplement
- Zinc plays a critical role in mitigating immunosenescence, age related decline of immune function characterized by reduced intake and absorption
- Inadequate levels lead to decreased thymic hormone activity, impaired T and B cell function.
- Therefore, Zinc supplements help in restoring balanced immune responses, potentially slowing age associated diseases and improving health span. [5]
