Healthy and well-supported body functions start at the very foundation: our cells. From energy production and mental cognition to easy movement and healthy macronutrient metabolism, healthy cells allow these systems to operate as they should.
That’s the heart of Swisse Nutra: simple, evidence-backed support for everyday energy, clear thinking, comfortable movement and a steady metabolism. Let’s take a look at what healthy longevity and wellness mean, and how you can support healthy ageing.
What does healthy longevity mean?
Healthy longevity, meaning supporting your overall health and wellbeing, is about everyday choices that work together to lift your energy and mobility. It’s healthy ageing, where the focus is on maintaining functional ability that continues to support wellbeing in later life1. When you define healthy longevity, it’s really about longevity and wellness working together: caring for sleep, nutrition, movement and stress so you can keep doing what you love, for longer.
Supplements to support your longevity
Think of supplements as a helpful layer on top of good habits. The Swisse Nutra range focuses on key pillars of longevity and wellness (think cognition, energy, mobility and metabolic health), formulated to support healthy body functions at the cellular level. Let’s take a look at the range.
Nutra Cellular Cognition
Our Nutra Cellular Cognition supplement supports brain health and cognitive function. If you’re after a better memory, this formula brings together phosphatidylserine, active B12 (mecobalamin), and clinically trialled Lute-gen® (lutein and zeaxanthin). In a six-month study, lutein and zeaxanthin showed improvements in visual memory and learning in adults with self-reported cognitive complaints2.
Nutra Cellular Energy
Need a steadier kind of get-up-and-go? The Swisse Nutra Cellular Energy supplement targets vitality by supporting cellular energy production. It combines a high dose of nicotinamide (vitamin B3) to support energy production, R-alpha lipoic acid for antioxidant support, and Quercefit® (a quercetin phospholipid technology ), which significantly increases quercetin bioavailability3. It’s formulated to support your journey in health, energy and healthy longevity.
Nutra Cellular Joint Mobility
Staying active gets easier when joints feel supported. As the years go by, everyday wear can make movement feel a little stiff. Our Nutra Cellular Joint Mobility supplement is crafted to help you move freely, with clinically trialled UC-II® undenatured type II collagen shown to improv joint function and mobility after 24 weeks2, plus vitamin D3, which supports neuromuscular function and bone health4.
Nutra Cellular Metabolism
As we get older, metabolism naturally shifts. Your body can become less efficient at handling glucose and lipids5. Supporting healthy metabolic processes such as metabolism of glucose and fat6, can help maintain healthy blood glucose and cholesterol and support wellbeing as we age.
Our Cellular Metabolism formula uses Berbevis® (berberine phytosome®) for enhanced berberine absorption and chromium to support normal macronutrient metabolism6. It also features BPL1® postbiotic (heat-treated Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis CECT 8145).
What is the best supplement for healthy longevity?
There isn’t one “best” option for longevity support, so let your needs lead:
- If you’re after enhanced memory, look to cognition support
- If you’re chasing steady productivity, energy support may suit
- For ease of movement, joint support helps
- For everyday balance, metabolism support may be ideal
Supplements work best alongside a balanced lifestyle, and are not a substitute for a nutritious diet. Ensure you eat a wide range of nutritious foods and pay particular attention to movement, sleep, and stress care.
What is the most powerful herb for healthy longevity?
There is no one herb that is the most powerful for longevity, as different herbs play specific roles. For example, Rhodiola rosea has evidence around fatigue and stress support7, and berberine (included in our Nutra range as Berbevis® Phytosome®) is used for metabolic support. Always check with a health professional before adding new herbs or supplements to your daily routine.
Longevity tips for everyday wellbeing
Healthy Longevity and wellness require consistent habits to build and maintain a supported and healthy body. Think gentle, doable habits that fit your life and leave you feeling a little better, week by week. Start here:
- Manage stress in minutes: Take short breaks or stretch to help reset your system. Even a quick breathing exercise can help.
- Move most days: Walking, strength and mobility work all support how you feel and function.
- Eat for colour and balance: Build most meals around plants, quality protein and healthy fats.
- Sleep like it matters: Prioritise quality rest with a simple wind-down and a regular bedtime.
