What You’ll Find in This Category
Many shoppers want a simple way to sort research terms from real-world use. This section helps organize common themes, like “blue zones,” intermittent fasting, and caloric restriction. It also points to measurable concepts, like VO2 max and zone 2 training. These topics often appear alongside supplements like resveratrol or spermidine, and drug-class terms like senolytics.
When comparing Longevity options, it helps to separate lifestyle foundations from medical therapies. Some approaches focus on habits, while others involve prescription-only medications. Some users also track biomarkers (measurable health indicators), like lipids, glucose, or inflammation markers. Others explore telomere length tests, which can be confusing to interpret. Use the product pages and linked resources to keep terms consistent.
- Healthy aging themes, including nutrition patterns and exercise planning
- Biomarker concepts, including biological age and epigenetic age testing
- Common research terms, including NAD+ therapy and rapamycin discussions
- Navigation to item pages like NAD Overview and Epithalon Details
How to Choose
Start with goals that match daily life and current care plans. Some people prioritize energy, sleep quality, or physical function. Others focus on body composition or cardiometabolic risk markers. Clarify what “success” means before comparing products. This helps reduce impulse decisions and keeps expectations realistic.
Match Goals to Monitoring
Some approaches pair better with tracking and follow-up. This matters when a therapy can affect labs, blood pressure, or glucose. If metabolic medications are part of the picture, keep safety resources handy. The Insulin Overdose Symptoms guide can support that review.
- List current prescriptions, over-the-counter products, and supplements
- Note key conditions, like diabetes, kidney disease, or heart disease
- Decide what can be tracked, such as glucose, lipids, or sleep metrics
- Consider format and handling needs, including refrigeration or supplies
- Review what is known versus experimental in geroscience discussions
Compare Practical Details
Look closely at what a product page actually supports. Some items are presented for wellness goals, while others are tied to clear medical use. Use the page layout to compare requirements side by side. Examples include the Epithalon Product Page and the NAD Product Page.
Safety and Use Notes
Aging science can attract bold claims, but evidence quality varies widely. Treat Longevity tools as one part of a broader health plan. Patients should avoid stacking multiple new items at once. Changes become harder to interpret when many variables shift together.
Why it matters: Clear tracking reduces confusion when side effects appear.
Many products in this space are not approved to prevent aging. Some are prescription medications with specific indications. Others are supplements with limits on what they can claim. For a neutral overview of supplement regulation, see this FDA resource on dietary supplements from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
- Ask about interactions with blood pressure, anticoagulant, or glucose-lowering medications
- Watch for allergy history, especially with injectable or peptide products
- Plan for safe storage, handling, and sharps disposal when relevant
- Use caution with sauna or cold exposure if heart conditions exist
If a prescription is needed, we verify it with prescribers.

Access and Prescription Requirements
Some items in this category may require a valid prescription. Requirements can differ by medication type and intended use. Documentation may include prescriber details and a current medication list. This helps pharmacists assess safety and fulfill legal dispensing rules.
Access for Longevity products can also involve cross-border administrative steps. US delivery from Canada may affect how paperwork is collected and reviewed. Some people use cash-pay options, often without insurance, when coverage does not apply. Keep personal information accurate to avoid processing delays.
- Check each product page for prescription status and documentation needs
- Expect pharmacist review when prescriptions or clinical screening apply
- Use clear identifiers, like name, date of birth, and prescriber contact
- Revisit item details on NAD Overview or Epithalon Details when comparing requirements
Cash-pay access may help for people without insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Longevity category?
This category groups products and learning resources related to healthy aging topics. It may include peptides, compounds discussed in aging research, and other supportive items. Each product page should clarify what it is, how it is supplied, and whether a prescription is required. The hub also links to educational content that explains common terms, testing ideas, and basic safety considerations. The goal is easier browsing and clearer comparisons, not treatment recommendations.
How can I compare options without getting overwhelmed?
Start by separating lifestyle foundations from medical therapies. Write down the main goal, like sleep quality, strength, or cardiometabolic markers. Then list current medications and key diagnoses, since these affect safety screening. Use product pages to compare practical factors, like format, handling, and whether pharmacist review applies. If lab tracking is part of the plan, note which biomarkers matter most. Keeping one change at a time also makes it easier to interpret effects.
Do all products in this category require a prescription?
No. Some items may be available without a prescription, while others may require one. Requirements can depend on the product type, jurisdictional rules, and clinical considerations. If a prescription is required, the dispensing pharmacy typically needs valid prescriber information before dispensing. Some requests may also need additional documentation, like a medication list, to support safety review. Always check the specific product page for the most accurate access requirements.
What do biological age and epigenetic age tests actually tell me?
These tests aim to estimate aspects of aging using measurable signals. A biological age test may use labs or physical metrics, while an epigenetic age test uses DNA methylation patterns. Results can vary between test methods, and they may shift with illness, stress, sleep changes, or weight changes. They can be useful for trend tracking, but they do not diagnose disease on their own. A clinician can help interpret results alongside standard labs and health history.
What safety questions should I raise before starting a new therapy?
Bring a complete list of prescriptions, over-the-counter products, and supplements. Ask about interaction risks, especially with glucose-lowering medicines, blood pressure drugs, and anticoagulants. If injectables apply, ask about allergy risk, storage, and safe disposal. Also ask what symptoms should trigger urgent care, since side effects can look like common illness. If testing is planned, ask which labs make sense and how often they should be reviewed.
