dsm-firmenich brings The Longevity Shift 2.0: The Gut Effect to SupplySide Global 2026

Kaiseraugst (Switzerland), Maastricht (Netherlands), October 5, 2026

dsm-firmenich, innovators in nutrition, health, and beauty, returns to SupplySide Global 2026 (October 28-30) with the evolution of its highly acclaimed interactive installation. At booth #6264, attendees can discover ‘The Longevity Shift 2.0: The Gut Effect’: an immersive walk-through experience exploring the connection between gut health and longevity. Bringing the latest science to life, it spotlights the potential of targeted nutrition to support greater health expectancy—helping consumers live better for longer.

Andrey Khabakhpashev, Senior Vice President, North America at dsm-firmenich, comments: “Last year, our first-of-its-kind immersive experience stole the show, challenging the industry to think about longevity in a fundamentally new way and ensure that our later years are some of the best. This year we are diving deeper into one of the critical hallmarks of aging that holds great potential for nutritional intervention: gut dysbiosis. Promising research is revealing that the role of the gut microbiome goes far beyond digestion, with links to immune function, brain health, mood, and health across the lifespan. Together with our expertise across nutrition, formulation, and sensory innovation, these emerging insights can be translated into solutions that support greater health expectancy.”

The focus on gut health reflects growing interest from both the scientific community and consumers. Survey data suggest that 7 out of 10 consumers agree there is a strong link between gut health and other health areas.¹ That awareness is pushing gut health to the center of conversations around healthy longevity and driving demand for solutions that harness the microbiome’s potential to support greater health expectancy. Based on attendance at last year’s event, visitors are advised to pre-book a 20-minute slot to secure their place at the experience, with walk-ins during the show subject to availability. 

dsm-firmenich will also spotlight its Age Slower solution, showing how supplement brands can bring landmark healthy aging science directly to consumers. Age Slower features the company’s life’s®OMEGA 60 microalgae omega-3 and Quali-D® vitamin D ingredients, the exact combination studied in Europe’s largest healthy aging trial, DO-HEALTH, which found up to a 10% reduction in biological aging over three years.² The commercially ready solution will be available on the booth, alongside dsm-firmenich’s wider portfolio and expertise, spanning market-leading microalgae omega-3 solutions, health and nutrition science, formulation, premix, and sensory innovation.

Away from the Expo Hall, dsm-firmenich will take part in SupplySide Global’s education program, joining the panel discussion ‘The healthspan hustle: Developing in the longevity ecosystem’ on October 27^th at 4pm PDT, in Islander Ballroom B. Seletha Periman, Senior Director of Marketing, Innovation and Business Development HNC at dsm-firmenich will join fellow industry experts for a deep dive into the science and strategies shaping the evolving longevity landscape. 

“New research and innovation are opening new possibilities for targeted nutritional solutions that help ensure we don’t just live longer, but better,” comments Periman. “At SupplySide Global, we'll showcase how dsm-firmenich brings together leading researchers, robust science across gut health and healthy longevity, and novel technical and sensorial innovations. By connecting strengths from science through to application, we help brands create differentiated, scientifically substantiated, and commercially ready solutions that are enjoyable for consumers, and designed to advance preventative health and help people enjoy their later years to the fullest.”
