NOVOS LEVERAGES SCIENCE AND DATA TO PROVIDE THE BEST NUTRACEUTICALS, TESTS & KNOWLEDGE TO EXTEND HUMAN LIFESPAN
Despite major scientific progress, there are hardly any effective, science-based anti-aging nutraceuticals.
Most longevity supplements are based on outdated ideas of aging, such as the idea that antioxidants slow down aging.
Others contain ingredients that are healthy, but unfortunately don’t extend lifespan.
Some supplements contain one or two ingredients that might extend lifespan, such as nicotinamide riboside (NR), but the jury is still out.
A much better longevity supplement would contain many ingredients that simultaneously work on multiple causes of aging, resulting in synergies that are greater than the sum of their parts.
We at NOVOS believe much more can be done to slow down aging through science, so we create the first supplements in the world that are:
- Based on the best available science
- Created with the world’s top experts in the aging field
- Use scientifically validated ingredients that extend lifespan in various organisms
- Focused on ten or more aging mechanisms to leverage synergistic effects
- Include ingredients shown to have beneficial effects on aging in humans
The result is NOVOS, the best longevity supplements available.

About NOVOS’ nutraceuticals
- Don’t hide signs of aging, they address the root causes.
- Are based on real science, not anecdote, tradition or belief.
- Address many important mechanisms of aging, not just one or two.
- Use ingredients found in nature and are safe for long-term use.
- Our foundational formulation, NOVOS Core, is a water-soluble powder, enabling full doses and absorption of ingredients, not a pill with a small fraction (if NOVOS Core were a pill, it would require 10+ capsules!).
Technology to track your progress
We are working on providing you with the best tests to track your health and longevity:
- Benefit from state-of-the art tests to get a birds-eye view of your health and longevity status.
- Test how old you really are (your biological age) instead of relying on your chronological age.
- Receive guidance on how to improve your biological age with lifestyle tweaks, beyond the NOVOS formula.
- Keep motivated with regular check-ups and re-testing.
- We achieve this using the best-in-class epigenetic tests, hematological tests, and facial tests, based on superior algorithms and AI.
We fund research to create the best formulations
We’re agnostic to ingredient selection. So we are free to choose the best ingredients proven to improve health span and lifespan. And we fund responsible research in humans, to be confident that our product is the best.
We are a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC)
A portion of our profits and equity is donated to nonprofits in the longevity science space, like the 501(c)(3), Life Extension Advocacy Foundation (LEAF).
We also create free content to educate people on how to live longer, healthier lives, even if they don’t use NOVOS, which you can find here.
Our Founders
NOVOS is founded by longevity activists who are in it for the really, really long term!
