Why These Ingredients Work for Longevity
NOVOS Core (Unflavored)
Why it’s beneficial for longevity: NOVOS Core targets 12 root causes of aging using a scientifically backed formulation of longevity ingredients. Adding it to your smoothie delivers daily support for mitochondrial health, cellular repair, inflammation reduction, and healthy gene expression.
Blueberries
Why they’re beneficial for longevity: Blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, antioxidants that help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. They’re also linked to improved brain health and reduced age-related decline in cognitive function.
Strawberries
Why they’re beneficial for longevity: Strawberries contain vitamin C, manganese, and polyphenols that support immune function, skin health, and vascular health. Their antioxidant properties also contribute to a slower biological aging process.
Spinach
Why it’s beneficial for longevity: Spinach is packed with vitamins A, C, and K, folate, and magnesium. It’s rich in lutein and zeaxanthin—compounds shown to support eye and brain health—and supports detoxification and DNA repair.
Plant-Based Protein Powder
Why it’s beneficial for longevity: Protein is essential for muscle maintenance and metabolic health, both of which are critical with aging. Choosing a clean, plant-based source ensures you’re getting quality amino acids without inflammatory compounds.
Dates
Why they’re beneficial for longevity: Dates offer natural sweetness along with fiber, potassium, and polyphenols. They support digestion, electrolyte balance, and provide antioxidant protection.
Plant-Based Milk
Why it’s beneficial for longevity: Fortified plant-based milks often provide calcium, vitamin D, and B12. Choosing unsweetened versions avoids unnecessary sugars and supports overall metabolic health.
Optional Toppings
Why they’re beneficial for longevity:
- Cocoa Nibs: High in flavonoids that promote cardiovascular and brain health.
- Hempseeds: A great source of plant-based omega-3s, protein, and minerals like magnesium and zinc.
- Bee Pollen: Rich in antioxidants and enzymes, bee pollen supports immune function and may have anti-inflammatory effects.
