No one can stop aging, which is the normal course of things to come, but delaying some of the less desirable signs of aging — including aches, pains, and skin changes — is possible. Doing so requires a balance of lifestyle shifts such as focusing on healthy sleep, stress reduction, diet, and exercise.
Where do supplements fit into all of this? A quality supplement can help fill in any gaps in your nutrition that aren’t being satisfied wholly and completely by diet. Since supplement shelves and online stores are filled to the gills with different supplements, narrowing options down to just a select few is not a piece of cake. That’s why it’s helpful to hear the opinions of experts like Neuroscientist Dr. Robert Love.

Here are three supplements that Love says can help delay aging.

1. Nicotinamide Riboside
Nicotinamide Riboside is a “precursor to something called NAD,” Love explains, which is an energy source used in every cell in your body. Increasing NAD can help "repair DNA," according to Love. The reason this is important is because NAD decreases with age and our energy levels decrease as well. Taking Nicotinamide Riboside can help boost these NAD levels.
2. Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 is excellent at protecting the brain and reducing inflammation in the body. It helps eliminate waste from your cells’ mitochondria, which are the energy centers of our cells. CoQ10 decreases as we age, and Love suggests taking about a 1000 mg per day (always check with you doctor before starting a supplementation regimen). It also helps reduce inflammation, which Love says is one of the primary causes of Alzheimer’s Disease and aging.
3. Curcumin
Love calls curcumin “really powerful” and says it reduces inflammation that is a risk factor for aging and Alzheimer’s Disease. Curcumin neutralizes free radicals in the body and helps protects cells against oxidative stress that is linked to aging and disease. It supports the immune system, brain, joint, cardiovascular, and digestive health.
