30 years of longevity

Longevity, anti-aging, or longevity. The internet and specialist magazines are full of tips for aging more healthily or even more slowly. But only a few active ingredients and routines are proven to be helpful. Since 1995, Medicom has been one of the reputable pioneers of this movement – honest and science-based. On this page, we summarize the most important information and introduce you to our latest products.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most important longevity ingredients in dietary supplements?

Longevity supplements rely on active ingredients that can positively influence aging processes at the cellular level. These include quercetin and fisetin, known as senolytics – they help eliminate so-called "zombie cells" and reduce inflammation. Resveratrol, and particularly its bioactive form trans-resveratrol, contribute to the activation of sirtuins, which play a role in cell repair and epigenetic processes. Coenzyme Q10 and its bioactive counterpart ubiquinol (QH) are essential for energy production in the mitochondria – the "powerhouses" of our cells – and are among the best-known anti-aging nutrients.

Other proven ingredients include omega-3 fatty acids (e.g., from krill oil), which support heart, brain, and cell function, as well as antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and zinc, which protect against oxidative stress. Hyaluronic acid also supports joint health and skin elasticity. This spectrum is complemented by bioactive plant substances such as EGCG from green tea or curcumin from turmeric root. These selected vital substances form the basis of many Medicom products and are at the center of modern longevity research.

Aside from supplements, what everyday routines help?

1. Exercise – but in moderation: Regular, moderate exercise such as brisk walking, cycling, or yoga promotes cell regeneration, improves heart health, and supports the maintenance of muscle mass – a crucial factor in aging. Studies show that just 20–30 minutes of daily exercise can measurably extend lifespan.

2. Nutrition – Quality over quantity: A Mediterranean, plant-based diet with plenty of vegetables, healthy fats (such as olive oil or omega-3), and few processed foods has anti-inflammatory and cell-protective effects. Periodic fasting or intermittent eating (e.g., 16:8) can stimulate processes such as autophagy (cell cleansing).

3. Sleep – Repair time for the body: A stable sleep rhythm with at least 7–8 hours of sleep per night supports hormone regulation, immune function, and cell repair. Dark, quiet rooms and evening rituals help you unwind.

4. Mental Hygiene – Stress Reduction & Curiosity: Chronic stress accelerates aging processes through inflammatory reactions. Mindfulness, meditation, or conscious breaks help calm the nervous system. Equally important: social connections and mental stimulation – whether through conversation, new hobbies, or learning.

5. Rhythm – take your internal clock seriously: A regular daily routine in harmony with the circadian rhythm (daylight, meal times, sleep) supports almost all systems in the body – from digestion to cell regeneration.

What does “healthy longevity” or longevity actually mean?

"Healthy longevity " means more than just getting older. It's about extending the healthy years of life ( healthspan ) and thereby improving the quality of life . The goal is to stay fit as long as possible – mentally and physically. This is not just about preventing disease, but also about slowing the aging process itself .

What is the difference between "General Health" and "Longevity Health"?

General health focuses on short-term health goals such as disease prevention, basic care, or compliance with general recommendations. Aging is often viewed as an immutable process.

Longevity medicine is based on the latest scientific findings, which show that aging can be influenced, slowed, or even partially reversed. Longevity medicine considers aging itself to be the primary cause of many chronic diseases and addresses this very issue.

What distinguishes Longevity from everyday measures to stay healthy?

Longer time horizon: Instead of just treating the symptoms, the focus is on maintaining long-term health.

Holistic: Lifestyle, genetics, epigenetics, micronutrients and mental health are taken into account.

Early intervention: Healthy longevity relies on modern diagnostics and personalized prevention to nip diseases in the bud.

What are the “12 Hallmarks of Healthy Aging”?

The following points or characteristics describe the biological processes of aging at the molecular level – supplemented here by brief explanations:

Genomic instability: Damage to the genetic material accumulates with age and promotes diseases such as cancer.

Telomere shortening: The ends of the chromosomes become shorter with each cell division – this limits the lifespan of the cells.

Epigenetic changes: Chemical changes in DNA influence gene activity – imbalances occur with age.

Loss of proteostasis: The cell's ability to correctly "fold" (assemble) or dispose of proteins decreases, disrupting cellular functions.

Deregulated nutrient perception: The body responds less well to signals such as insulin or mTOR – this promotes aging and metabolic disorders.

Mitochondrial dysfunction: The cell’s “power plants” produce less energy and more harmful byproducts.

Cellular senescence: Old cells (zombie cells) no longer divide, but emit pro-inflammatory signals and disrupt tissue function.

Stem cell exhaustion: The body's ability to regenerate decreases because stem cells are less active or functional.

Altered cell communication: Cells send faulty or too many signals – this can lead to inflammation and loss of function.

Chronic inflammation ("inflammaging"): A subliminal, age-related inflammation throughout the body – even without infection. This leads to disease.

Loss of adaptability: The body can react less flexibly to stress, such as changes in temperature or infections.

Impaired autophagy: Cellular self-cleaning is disrupted – damaged components are no longer efficiently degraded.

Modern strategies for living longer aim to identify and specifically influence precisely these processes.

What are the "Blue Zones" and what can we learn from them?

In regions such as Okinawa, Sardinia, and Nicoya, particularly high numbers of people over 100 live in good health. These "Blue Zones" demonstrate the importance of a plant-based and natural diet, daily exercise, social interaction, and a sense of purpose in life. It's also important to reduce stress and get enough sleep.
