Programme

Here are the key themes taking centre stage at the Nutra Healthspan Summit 2026:

  • State of the market:

    Longevity sells, but how big is the prize when it comes to nutritional products and healthspan? Which companies are making waves? How are consumers navigating the category? What kind of formulations and claims drive the products? This session will seek answers to these questions and more.

  • Consumer insights – straight from the horse’s mouth:

    What do consumers really understand about healthspan and nutritional approaches to impact biological aging? This session will bring actual consumers into the summit to share their insights and understanding of the products in the marketplace.

  • Mitochondrial function and ageing

    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, 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?

  • Women’s Health

    A woman’s aging journey is a complicated one - from adolescence to post-menopause - with their nutritional needs at each stage changing significantly. This session will explore how the nutraceuticals industry is responding to these changing needs with targeted, science-backed solutions, delving into the latest ingredient innovations and how they support key life stages.

  • Diagnostics, testing, and wearables

    Monitoring and modeling of age-related variables provide ways for consumers to track their progress and the impact of their dietary supplement and cosmetic regimens. This session will explore how technology companies are serving the market and the opportunities for brands to partner with these companies. It will also consider how to best integrate these advances into clinical trial design and leverage data from citizen science to move the category forward.

  • The regulatory landscape

    Making healthspan-related claims on dietary supplements differs across the globe and the regulatory frameworks, but which countries are better positioned to allow claims relating to, for example, the 12 hallmarks of aging? This session will bring together regulatory experts from around the world to guide attendees on best practices and how best to void the pitfalls.

  • Healthcare practitioners

    Many consumers continue to look to practitioners for advice and guidance on health and wellness. How can the dietary supplements industry build trust and networks with this community, how best to educate them on the products and benefits, and how can we ensure they’re communicating the benefits appropriately?

  • Investors and market success

    The longevity and healthspan sector is experiencing a surge of innovation, with new companies offering a unique value proposition to capture investor interest. This session brings together leading investors to share insights on unlocking funding opportunities. Discover what makes a standout founder, and learn how investment decisions are shaped by factors such as unit economics, go-to-market strategy, scalability, and the strength of scientific validation.

  • Cognition and ageing

    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.
