Longevity food supplements
In recent years, scientific anti-ageing research has decoded many mechanisms that are beneficial for biological ageing – and at the same time provided the starting points for Longevity - how a vibrant quality of life can be maintained over a long period of time and maintained to its fullest.
Anti-Ageing Products from BIOGENA
Over the course of our lives, the functionality and needs of our cells change. Our body needs support from nutrients so that we can ideally withstand everyday stresses - and our beauty radiates from every cell.
Anti-ageing, however, is by no means a protected concept. For this reason, it may be used in the cosmetics industry, for example, as well as in nutritional or sports therapy. All measures that serve health include anti-ageing in the fundamental sense: A balanced diet, a little sport, daily exercise, fresh air and avoiding nicotine as well as the moderate consumption of alcohol.
Many anti-ageing products merely alleviate the external signs of ageing without tackling the actual cause. BIOGENA, on the other hand, takes a holistic approach focusing on the 12 key components of ageing. Supported by a large number of tried and tested active ingredients, this approach is backed up by longevity experts and numerous scientific studies.

Anti-ageing from within, with vitamins & minerals from BIOGENA
"Youth has no age“, says Pablo Picasso. You can't turn back the chronological clock, but there are many ways to positively influence your biological age. Here we explain which nutrient groups you really ought to pay attention to.
Fisetin
Fisetin is an important active ingredient that promotes cellular longevity by eliminating senescent cells. Fisetin eliminates these pro-inflammatory cells, which has a positive effect on health and slows down age-related processes.
Quercetin
Quercetin not only protects plants, but also has a positive effect on human health. It is often referred to as the "king of flavonoids" due to its high antioxidant activity. In this capacity, it even surpasses well-known catechins from green tea in its ability to neutralise free radicals. This remarkable antioxidant potential also supports our health, as many diseases and ageing processes are often associated with an increase in free radicals in the body.
L-theanine
Research has shown that L-theanine is a sort of antagonist to caffeine. While caffeine is known to increase alertness, in higher doses it can also lead to undesirable side effects such as a racing heart, nervousness, insomnia and increased blood pressure. L-theanine can neutralise these negative effects of caffeine. It revitalises gently and with a lingering effect – and has a relaxing effect at the same time. In addition, L-theanine can improve sleep, making it a valuable component for general relaxation and well-being.
Alpha-ketoglutarate
Alpha-ketoglutarate, also known as AKG, is a natural, endogenous substance that occurs as an intermediate in the citrate cycle. The citrate cycle is a process that produces energy and provides intermediate products for biosynthesis in a series of interconnected reactions in the body. With increasing age, AKG levels decrease, which can lead to accelerated cell ageing. Supplementation with alpha-ketoglutarate can slow down this ageing process of the cells. Studies also indicate that alpha-ketoglutarate can have a stabilising effect on epigenetic processes, which underlines its promising properties as a metabolic product.
Substances from the SIRT formula
Sirtuins form a group of enzymes that are involved in numerous metabolic and regulatory processes. Seven different sirtuins (SIRT1 - SIRT7) have been identified in the human body, which are found in all body cells.
Sirtfoods such as turmeric, green tea and broccoli are rich in phytochemicals. Secondary plant substances include compounds such as resveratrol, pterostilbene and the bioflavonoid quercetin. The preparation Biogena SIRT-Formula® combines these bioactive plant substances in a micronutrient complex to promote cellular energy consumption.
Niacin
Niacin is a water-soluble B-group vitamin. This vitamin is an essential component of numerous important coenzymes and plays a central role in the formation and breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is also crucial for energy metabolism. Niacin also contributes to DNA repair in cells, supports cell division and is important for the functioning of the immune system.
NADH
Reduced NADH, a coenzyme and hydrogen carrier, is involved in numerous redox reactions within the cells. It is produced from the vitamin niacin. NADH plays an important role in energy production in mitochondria and can also increase the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and noradrenaline. It also influences the uptake and release of these neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap. Alongside ATP, NADH is a crucial substance for a wide range of processes in the brain. It is also a central component of the brain cells' antioxidant system and plays a key role in slowing down the ageing process.
Collagen
Collagen is often used as a dietary supplement to promote skin, hair and nail health, support joint functionality, improve bone health and promote tissue regeneration. It can help increase skin elasticity, reduce joint pain, improve bone density and support digestive health.
Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids protect telomeres, which are the chromosome terminals in every cell. With each division, they become somewhat shorter – until they have become so small that the cell can no longer divide and therefore ages. Various anti-ageing studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids also combat inflammatory processes in the body that further shorten telomeres - and thus accelerate the ageing process.
Spermidine
A natural fountain of youth for our cells: Spermidine is an endogenous natural substance that stimulates our cells to cleanse themselves (= autophagy), keeping them fresh and revitalised. During our lifetime the spermidine concentration in our cells decreases, which is why a targeted supply of spermidine is a highly promising strategy for healthy ageing.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is an elementary component of the connective tissue located between the isolated skin cells, in which collagen and elastin provide firmness and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid acts as a moisturiser because it can bind large amounts of water. With age, not only does collagen break down, but the supporting filler substance also loses volume and shrinks - the cause of wrinkles.
Anti-Ageing Capsules: Food supplements for a long life
Anti-ageing capsules are becoming increasingly popular among people who not only want to extend their lifespan but also improve the quality of their lives as they age. These supplements contain a variety of vitamins, minerals and other natural active ingredients aimed at slowing down the signs of ageing. The most common ingredients include spermidine, hyaluronic acid, collagen, niacin, fisetin, quercetin, L-theanine and alpha-ketoglutarate, as well as specific amino acids and plant extracts that support healthy cell function and reduce the formation of free radicals. The use of anti-ageing products can be seen as part of a holistic approach to maintaining good health.
Anti-ageing research: Support the health of your cells
An example of how anti-ageing research has advanced at a rapid pace in recent years can be demonstrated with a very good example. It was just 55 years ago that the American gerontologist Leonard Hayflick identified what is known as the Hayflick limit or Hayflick phenomenon, which was named after him. According to this, all cells in their respective lives can only divide up to a numerically determined limit before they “become senescent”. Although “senile” (senescent) cells still live, they can no longer regenerate. Cells that have reached this Hayflick limit change their shape and appearance, in other words they “shrivel”. Hayflick considered the process irreversible. The scientist harvested international recognition for his research – but today his conclusion is refuted: Efficient anti-ageing agents can prolong the active life of the cells. Start supporting the health of your cells in good time. Nothing can then stand in the way of a life full of vigour, energy and vitality.
