Mitochondria play a central role in ageing by regulating energy production, cellular repair, and metabolic resilience. Declines in mitochondrial function are linked to a range of age-related degenerative conditions, making mitochondrial health a key target for supporting healthspan. We’ll explore the key ingredients in this field, including CoQ10/Ubiquinol, PQQ, urolithin A, L-carnitine, creatine, B vitamins, as well as the growing interest in NAD⁺ boosters. But what does the science say for these ingredients, and are multi-ingredient approaches the future or could complexity impact efficacy?

Healthy aging is increasingly recognized as a multidimensional concept in which maintaining a healthy appearance reflects broader physiological well-being. Within this perspective, the beauty-from-within approach is gaining attention for its potential to support skin health by targeting biological processes that contribute to cellular resilience and homeostasis. Selected botanical extracts, characterized by numerous and complementary phytochemicals, may support endogenous defence mechanisms, help maintain skin structure and function, and promote an adequate response to environmental stressors. By acting on interconnected pathways involved in healthy aging, botanical ingredients offer a science-based nutritional approach to supporting skin health, vitality, and appearance from within.

As cognitive health becomes a defining pillar of healthy longevity, this session examines how targeted nutrition strategies can help mitigate or slow age-related cognitive decline. Drawing on emerging science, clinical insights, and real-world applications, experts will explore the role of nutrients, bioactives, and dietary supplements in supporting brain function, resilience, and mental clarity—highlighting opportunities for innovation in next-generation nutrition solutions.
