The science of ageing, redefined for summer: energy, metabolism, and skin health

Warm days bring garden dinners and weekend escapes – but they also place higher demands on your body’s energy, metabolism, and skin resilience. If summer feels close, but your body still feels behind, you’re not alone. Getting in shape for summer becomes more difficult with every year of our life:

📉 Slower metabolism:

With age, metabolism naturally slows, making it harder to burn fat and maintain lean muscle. Hormonal shifts and reduced mitochondrial efficiency are major drivers behind this change.

🪫 Lower cellular energy:

If you want to move more but constantly feel tired, declining NAD+ could be why. This molecule fuels energy, recovery, and metabolism and without enough of it, even motivation can't compensate.

💧 Reduced skin resilience:

Healthy skin depends on collagen and ceramides – both of which decline over time, especially with UV exposure. The result: skin that feels thinner, drier, and less firm.

At AVEA we are all about helping you to reduce the impact of ageing on your body. We curated our key best-selling supplements for you below to ensure you get into summer in your best shape.

What slows down my metabolism and energy as I age, and how can I counteract it?

By your late 20s and early 30s, key processes like mitochondrial function and NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) production naturally decline - by up to 50% by age 40.

This impacts how efficiently your body converts nutrients into energy, leading to slower fat metabolism, reduced stamina, weight gain, and even changes in muscle composition.

Other factors, like blood sugar imbalances, inflammation, and stress, accelerate this metabolic slowdown, especially after winter.

To address these, targeting metabolism and energy at the cellular level is key.

We developed our Vitality Bundle to help replenish NAD+ levels and enhance mitochondrial health, restoring your cells’ ability to produce clean, sustained energy.

Our Stabiliser manages glucose spikes and crashes, reducing sugar cravings and optimising energy stability throughout the day.

Together, they create a metabolic environment that supports fat burning, better recovery, improved stamina and a more energised, lighter you heading into summer.

Why does skin often look dull or tired after winter and how can I fix it?

Sun exposure, dehydration, stress, and seasonal inflammation all contribute to accelerated collagen breakdown and reduced skin elasticity.

At the same time, collagen production naturally declines with age – dropping 1–2% each year starting in your 20s.

Without support, this leads to loss of firmness, deeper wrinkles, slower skin regeneration, and a duller complexion.

How can you support it?

Your skin needs collagen and ceramides because they’re essential building blocks that keep it looking youthful, smooth, and healthy.

Collagen is a protein that gives your skin structure, firmness, and elasticity. As we age, collagen production naturally slows down, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and loss of that plump, firm look.

Ceramides are lipids (fats) that make up over 50% of your skin’s barrier. They help lock in moisture and protect against irritants and environmental damage. When ceramide levels drop—due to ageing, harsh skincare, or weather – skin can become dry, sensitive, and more prone to fine lines.

Skin Support & Hydration

collagen activator

Did you know that most collagen supplements fail to address the root cause of collagen loss? We've covered in more depth why most collagen supplements do not work as well as you think in out article here.

At AVEA, our Collagen Activator is one of our most-loved products for a reason - featuring a clean, vegan, patented and clinically-backed formula - it delivers what others only promise.

Instead of relying on degraded peptides, it delivers key collagen-building amino acids – proline, glycine, and hydroxyproline – in a precise, scientifically optimized ratio. 

These essential building blocks stimulate your body’s own collagen production more effectively – thus activating collagen synthesis 4x better than traditional collagen supplements.

The science of collagen supplements

Collagen is the essential scaffolding for your skin, bones, and connective tissues. It provides firmness, elasticity, and the structural support needed to maintain your skin’s youthful appearance. Collagen also plays a key role in stimulating the production of elastin and hyaluronic acid, two critical components for skin strength, hydration, and resilience.

However, collagen production naturally declines as we age – dropping by 1-1.5% per year starting in your 20s. By the time you’re in your 40s, your body produces significantly less, leading to visible signs of ageing such as:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles due to weakened skin structure
  • Sagging skin from reduced elasticity
  • Dryness and dullness as hydration levels decrease
  • Thinning skin that is more fragile and prone to damage

How Collagen Supplements Work

Collagen supplements aim to restore and boost natural collagen levels. Hydrolyzed collagen, broken down into smaller peptides or amino acids, has been clinically proven to:

  • Reduce wrinkles by improving skin density and structure
  • Enhance skin elasticity, restoring firmness and resilience
  • Boost hydration, promoting a plumper, more radiant complexion
  • Stimulate collagen synthesis, encouraging your body to produce more collagen naturally

Topical vs Oral Collagen

Topical collagen often struggles to penetrate the skin fully due to its large molecular size. 

In contrast, oral collagen peptides or amino acids are quickly absorbed thanks to their lower molecular weight, making them more bioavailable. Once absorbed, they’re distributed to tissues where they enhance skin's mechanical properties, increasing collagen fibril density and diameter. 

The results? Improved hydration, reduced roughness, and fewer wrinkles – promoting healthier, firmer skin from the inside out.   

What to look for in your collagen

Not all collagen supplements are created equal. To see real results, it’s important to choose a product that addresses the root causes of collagen loss and works effectively within your body. Here’s what to look for in a high-quality collagen supplement:

1. Clinically Proven Results

Look for supplements supported by clinical studies that show improvements in hydration, skin elasticity, and texture. A reliable product should demonstrate measurable benefits for your skin and overall health.

2. Effective Collagen Activation

The best supplements go beyond simply replenishing collagen. They stimulate your body’s natural collagen production processes, ensuring longer-lasting and more effective results.

3. High-Quality, Clean Ingredients

Choose supplements made with clean, responsibly sourced ingredients. Avoid products with artificial fillers, flavors, or additives, and prioritize formulations that focus on quality and purity.

4. Science-Backed Formulations

Collagen supplements should be grounded in robust scientific research, ideally developed by trusted experts or institutions. Look for products with patented or proprietary blends that have undergone rigorous testing.

5. Transparency and Trust

Trustworthy brands provide clear, detailed information about their ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing processes. Transparency is key when it comes to choosing a product that aligns with your health goals.

Lasting Energy

vitality bundle

By your late 20s and early 30s, key processes like mitochondrial function and NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) production naturally decline - by up to 50% by age 40.

This impacts how efficiently your body converts nutrients into energy, leading to slower fat metabolism, reduced stamina, weight gain, and even changes in muscle composition.

We developed our Vitality Bundle to help replenish NAD+ levels and enhance mitochondrial health, restoring your cells’ ability to produce clean, sustained energy.

It's clinically proven to restore NAD+ and cellular energy – supporting better metabolism, faster recovery, and long-term vitality from within.

Why does NAD+ decline and what happens when it does?

From your 30s onward, NAD+ levels begin to decline, dropping by nearly 50% by middle age. This natural decrease slows down your body's ability to produce energy and repair itself, leading to:

Fatigue and reduced endurance – making it harder to stay active
Slower metabolism and recovery – impacting fitness and weight management
Brain fog and mental fatigue – decreasing focus and cognitive sharpness
Weakened cellular repair – accelerating signs of ageing

This decline isn’t just about feeling tired – it affects your body at a cellular level, reducing mitochondrial efficiency (your body’s energy powerhouse) and making you more susceptible to stress, inflammation, and ageing.

How can you restore NAD+ levels?

While your body does naturally recycle NAD+, this process becomes less efficient with age. NAD+ can also be supported through certain foods—like dairy, mushrooms, and whole grains – but the amounts are minimal and often not enough to make a measurable difference.

Supplementing with NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), a direct precursor to NAD+, has been shown to significantly restore levels in key tissues like the brain, muscles, and heart.

But what many people overlook is that NMN is only part of the equation. To truly maintain NAD+ levels over time, your body also needs the right co-factors to support its production, recycling, and protection.

That’s why a multi-targeted approach delivers better results – by not only replenishing NAD+, but also enhancing mitochondrial function and slowing NAD+ breakdown.

That’s why we created our Vitality Bundle – a two-part system designed to restore, sustain, and protect NAD+ levels at the cellular level:

💊 NMN – efficiently converted into NAD+ to restore cellular energy, metabolism, and endurance

Booster – synergistic ingredients to enhance and sustain NAD+:

  • Resveratrol, Pterostilbene & CoQ10 – improve mitochondrial function and energy output
  • Betaine & Apigenin – optimize NAD+ metabolism and slow its degradation

Together, they create a powerful foundation for sustained energy, faster recovery, and cellular longevity.

Romulo’s longevity journey: turning 40 and feeling better than ever

Romulo, one of our long-time customers, decided to take his health more seriously as he approached 40. Along the way, he lost over 20 kilos (from 84kg to 64kg) – but more importantly, found simple, sustainable habits that helped him feel clearer, lighter, and more energised than he had in years.

One of the tools that made a real difference for him?
Our Stabiliser – designed to help manage blood sugar levels, reduce cravings, and support healthy metabolism.

Romulo shared that adding Stabiliser to his daily routine helped smooth out his energy dips and keep those mid-afternoon cravings in check – making it easier to stay productive and feel in control of his day.

Blood Glucose Balance

stabiliser

Clinically proven to block up to 40% of carbohydrates and sugar after meals, our Stabiliser helps reduce post-meal glucose spikes – reducing cravings, fatigue, and energy crashes.

Why are glucose spikes and why do they matter?

A glucose spike refers to a rapid and sharp rise in blood sugar levels that happens when carbohydrates are quickly broken down into glucose and absorbed into the bloodstream.

 

This typically occurs after eating high-carb or sugary foods like pasta, sushi, or sweets. In response, your body releases the hormone insulin to move the excess glucose into your cells for energy or storage.

 

When too much glucose enters the bloodstream too quickly, your body may release a large surge of insulin, leading to a steep drop in blood sugar shortly after. This sudden crash is what we commonly experience as a sugar crash, often followed by fatigue, irritability, and renewed cravings.

 

Over time, this up-and-down pattern can strain your metabolism by forcing your body to constantly produce high levels of insulin. This repeated demand can dull your cells’ response to insulin, making it harder to manage blood sugar effectively. 

 

At the same time, frequent glucose spikes can trigger low-grade inflammation and disrupt key hormones that help regulate how your metabolism functions – setting the stage for unstable energy, cravings, and metabolic imbalance.

Is your metabolism triggering your cravings?

Have you ever felt hungry just an hour or two after eating? That might not be a lack of willpower – it could be your blood sugar crashing.

 

When glucose levels rise too quickly, your body releases a surge of insulin to bring them back down. But this can sometimes lead to a rapid drop in blood sugar, which your body interprets as a lack of fuel.

 

In response to these low blood sugar levels, ghrelin (your hunger hormone) increases, and leptin (your fullness hormone) decreases. 

The result? You feel hungry again and suddenly crave high-sugar or high-carb foods, even if you just ate.

 

A balanced blood sugar response helps break this cycle. By preventing extreme glucose spikes and crashes, your body maintains steadier energy, reduces unnecessary hunger signals, and allows your metabolism to function more efficiently and calmly throughout the day. 

How the Stabiliser helps restore blood sugar balance

Stabiliser was developed to target the root cause of energy crashes, cravings, and metabolic instability - unstable blood sugar levels. 

 

It works with your body’s natural systems to smooth out post-meal glucose spikes, reduce hormonal disruptions, and bring your appetite and energy back into alignment.

 

Its clinically supported formula combines three key ingredients - each with a specific role in supporting healthy glucose metabolism:

  • Reducose® (White Mulberry Leaf Extract) slows the breakdown of carbohydrates in the digestive tract, reducing the amount of glucose that enters your bloodstream. This helps prevent the sharp post-meal spikes that often lead to crashes, cravings, and fat storage. Clinical studies show it can reduce carbohydrate absorption by up to 40%.
     
  • Ferzinger™ (Fermented Ginger Extract) supports stable blood sugar levels between meals by promoting healthier fasting glucose regulation. This helps you avoid the subtle dips in blood sugar that can sneak up hours after eating and lead to unexplainable fatigue or hunger.
     
  • Chromium Picolinate improves how efficiently your cells respond to insulin, allowing your body to move glucose out of the bloodstream more effectively. This not only reduces blood sugar swings, but also supports long-term craving control and metabolic flexibility.

Together, these ingredients help flatten your glucose curve, support a steady release of energy, and rebalance the hunger and fullness signals that guide your daily eating patterns.

Cellular Defense

cell primer

Every day, your body works to repair and renew itself. But as you age, that process slows – and certain cells stop functioning entirely. 

These senescent “zombie cells” no longer serve a purpose, yet remain in your body, releasing pro-inflammatory signals that disrupt healthy tissue and accelerate ageing.

Our Cell Primer is a next-generation senolytic formula designed to help your body clear these dysfunctional cells. 

What are zombie cells and why do they matter?

Zombie cells are senescent cells that have stopped dividing but refuse to die. Over time, they accumulate in tissues and release compounds that trigger inflammation, impair regeneration, and damage nearby cells.

They’re not just passive bystanders – they actively disrupt the systems responsible for your energy, cognition, and repair. And they’re now recognized by scientists as one of the key drivers of biological ageing.

Research links senescent cells to nearly every aspect of age-related decline: joint stiffness, reduced recovery, immune imbalance, slower metabolism, and even cognitive changes. As they build up, your body’s ability to renew itself weakens – leading to a steady decline in performance, resilience, and wellbeing.

Clinical studies have shown that targeting senescent cell removal can lead to improvements in conditions like liver fibrosis, pulmonary disease, and certain cancers.

The aim is to extend healthspan–the years you live in good health, restore balance in your body, and potentially prevent or delay the onset of age-related diseases.

How to support your body’s natural renewal?

Thanks to advance in science and technology, researchers have developed targeted methods to directly remove or neutralise zombie cells, in an attempt to improve healthspan and combat age-related diseases more effectively. This progress has paved the way for innovative strategies, like senolytics and senomorphics.

Senolytics are compounds or drugs specifically designed to target and eliminate senescent cells. Studies have shown that Quercetin and Fisetin, are both effective natural senolytics, each disrupting the survival mechanisms of these unwanted zombie cells.

Our Cell Primer is a carefully calibrated formula combining Fisetin and Quercetin—two of the most extensively studied senolytic ingredients – with Piperine to enhance absorption and bioavailability. Designed for occasional use, just a few days a month is enough to support your body’s internal clean-up process.
