Why was the Longevity FAQ Approved Supplement Award Created?
With the popularity of Dr David Sinclair’s NY Times bestselling book Lifespan Why we age and why we don’t have to as well as the media attention on some of the world’s richest aka Bezoz dropping US $3 billion into longevity start up Alto Labs, more of the general public are starting on their longevity and biohacking journey. In addition to good food, sleep and exercise biohackers are turning to expensive supplements in order to slow down the clock.
To cash in on the high supplement costs and the increased interest in these supplements shady supplement brands are launching on Amazon, eBay, AliExpress and other online marketplaces. Unfortunately, not all supplement and supplement brands are created equal, a recent report published by ChromaDex looked at 21 supplement brands from Amazon the company purchasing them and having them 3rd party lab tested (read our article on the Warning of Fake or Low Quality NMN and Other Longevity Supplements) the shocking result was that 3 out of the 21 contained no NMN and 11 of the 21 less than the reported limit of NMN, only 3 brands were at or above the reported supplement purity.
