Chronic inflammation

Restore cellular function to achieve immune balance

Understanding Chronic Inflammation

Chronic Inflammation—known as inflammaging—is a prolonged inflammatory response that accelerates cellular aging and increases the risk of age-related diseases. In an aging body, with ever more work to be done to ensure balance, our immune cells can end up being in a near constant state of battle, causing tension and inflammation that can lead to diseases.

Through our pioneering research and innovative solutions, we're helping supplement brands target Chronic Inflammation to support greater health expectancy. Our specialist health expectancy solutions work to modulate the environments our immune cells operate in, enabling effective dietary supplements for healthy longevity—ensuring that our later years are not just lost years, but some of our best.

Landmark clinical evidence: The DO-HEALTH study

The DO-HEALTH study—Europe's largest healthy aging trial—provides new evidence that combined nutritional and lifestyle interventions can measurably slow biological aging. Omega-3 and Vitamin D are recognized for their distinct and complementary mechanisms in addressing inflammaging.

The science of Chronic Inflammation

Discover how targeting Chronic Inflammation through nutritional intervention could help close the gap between life expectancy and health expectancy. Find out how specialized nutrients and compounds can help modulate cellular function and immune environments, allowing immune cells to turn off when threats are gone to restore the body's natural balance for healthier aging.
