Healthy aging is arguably the raison d'être 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 developing to help people age gracefully includes these hot topics:
• The compelling research around life extension through nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) activators, telomere-lengtheners and increased longevity.
• How cognitive health has expanded the market target from the geriatric to young knowledge workers.
• Vision health supplements have risen to the fore as consumers recognize the damage caused from so much screen use.
