ThorneVet · Longevity Complex What If You Could Change How Fast Your Dog Ages at the Cellular Level? Seven of the most potent and most researched longevity compounds available, for mulated together because they work synergistically. Targeting the biological mechanisms that drive aging itself, deep inside every cell in your dog's body. Also specifically formulated as key nutritional support for dogs managing cancer. ✓ 7 Active Ingredients ✓ Multi-Pathway Longevity Science ✓ Cancer Support Formula ✓ Third-Party Tested ✓ Non-GMO · NASC Certified The biology of aging, explained simply Aging is not just the passage of time. It is two specific biological processes happening inside every cell. Longevity Complex targets both simultaneously. Process 1: The cellular maintenance system loses fuel Every cell has a biological maintenance system that repairs DNA damage, clears out worn-out components, and regulates energy production. The proteins that run this system are called sirtuins. Think of them as the cellular housekeeping crew. Sirtuins require a molecule called NAD+ to function. And NAD+ levels decline steadily with age. Less NAD+ means the maintenance crew is understaffed. Less maintenance means damage accumulates faster. And faster damage accumulation means every organ and tissue in your dog's body is aging more quickly than it needs to. Longevity Complex response: Nicotinamide Riboside restores NAD+ levels. Resveratrol and Curcumin activate the sirtuins directly. Green Tea adds a third activation pathway. Process 2: Burned-out cells accumulate and cause inflammation When cells are damaged or have divided too many times, they sometimes stop working but do not die. Instead they sit in the tissue releasing inflammatory signals that damage the healthy cells around them. Think of them like burned-out light bulbs that stay in the socket and emit a kind of chemical static that interferes with all the functioning bulbs around them. As dogs age, these burned-out cells accumulate throughout the body. The inflammatory signals they release are a primary driver of virtually every age-related condition, from arthritis to cognitive decline to organ disease. Longevity Complex response: Taurine and Quercetin both help the body identify and clear these accumulated burned-out cells, reducing the inflammatory environment they create. Most supplements address the symptoms of aging after they appear. Longevity Complex targets the biological mechanisms driving aging itself, at the cellular level, before and as those symptoms develop. This is what preventive longevity science looks like in practice. The full formula Seven ingredients. Seven mechanisms. Each one doing something the others cannot. Note on three of these ingredients: Quercetin, Curcumin, and Green Tea are all delivered in phytosome form, meaning they are bound to phospholipids that dramatically improve absorption. Standard versions of these plant compounds are very poorly absorbed by the body. The phytosome form ensures meaningful amounts actually reach the tissues where the longevity benefits occur. Senescent Cell Reduction and Longevity Foundation Addressing the burned-out cell accumulation that drives chronic inflammation throughout aging, from two distinct directions. Taurine · 500mg Highest dose in the formula · landmark 2023 longevity study One of the most important longevity discoveries in recent science Most people know taurine as a heart health nutrient, which it is. But a landmark study published in the journal Science in 2023 revealed something much broader: taurine levels decline significantly with age across multiple mammalian species, and that decline is directly associated with accelerated aging across multiple organ systems. What the study found: Taurine supplementation extended lifespan in multiple animal species, reduced biological markers of cellular aging, improved muscle strength and bone density, and enhanced immune function in older subjects. The mechanism involves taurine's ability to help the body clear the burned-out cells that drive chronic inflammation throughout aging. At 500mg per scoop, this formula delivers a genuinely therapeutic amount of one of the most important and most newly understood longevity compounds in veterinary and human medicine. Quercetin Phytosome · 75mg Phytosome form · senolytic activity and antioxidant protection Helps clear burned-out cells and reduces inflammation they generate Quercetin has a well-documented ability to help the body identify and clear accumulated senescent cells, those burned-out cells described above that sit in tissue releasing inflammatory signals. By reducing the burden of these cells, Quercetin helps reduce the chronic inflammatory environment that makes every age-related condition worse. It also contributes potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to the formula's broader cellular protection. The phytosome form ensures dramatically better absorption than standard quercetin, which is poorly absorbed without this delivery enhancement. NAD+ Restoration and Sirtuin Activation Restoring the fuel that powers the cellular maintenance crew, and directly activating the crew to get to work. Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) · 100mg The most bioavailable NAD+ precursor available Restocks the fuel supply for the cellular maintenance crew Nicotinamide Riboside is the most bioavailable and most efficient way to restore NAD+ levels in the body, meaning the body converts it into NAD+ more readily than other approaches. Once NAD+ is restored, sirtuin activity increases, and the cellular maintenance processes sirtuins coordinate improve alongside it: DNA repair, cellular energy production, inflammatory balance, and mitochondrial function. Think of NR as restocking the fuel supply so the maintenance crew can actually do its job. The crew has always been there. It just needs the resources. Trans-Resveratrol, Veri-Te · 40mg High-purity · fermentation-derived · biologically active form only Directly activates the cellular maintenance proteins Resveratrol activates sirtuin proteins in a way that signals the cellular maintenance system to increase its activity, in a manner similar to the biological response to eating less, one of the most reliably studied and consistently demonstrated longevity signals known across virtually every species examined. The Veri-Te specification is critical: it guarantees the trans form of resveratrol, which is the biologically active form. Cheaper resveratrol products often contain a mixture of both the active and inactive forms. Veri-Te ensures your dog receives only the form that the research validates, at a purity level that makes the dose clinically meaningful. Cellular Energy Efficiency and AMPK Activation Activating the cellular energy sensor that helps cells work more efficiently, generate energy more cleanly, and produce less oxidative waste in the process. CurcuVET Curcumin Phytosome · 50mg Phytosome form · AMPK activation and sirtuin activation Both restocks the fuel and signals the maintenance crew directly Curcumin contributes to this formula through two specific longevity mechanisms. It activates AMPK, a cellular energy sensor that helps cells become more metabolically efficient. And it activates sirtuin proteins directly, adding to the NAD+-driven sirtuin support that Nicotinamide Riboside provides. Think of it as both restocking the fuel for the maintenance crew and directly signaling the crew to get to work. The CurcuVET phytosome form delivers curcumin at dramatically higher absorption than standard turmeric or curcumin extract. GreenSelect Green Tea Phytosome · 50mg Phytosome form · decaffeinated · EGCG and AMPK activation A third AMPK activation pathway · safe for dogs with no caffeine Green tea contains a compound called EGCG, one of the most studied polyphenols in longevity research. EGCG activates the same AMPK pathway as curcumin, supporting cellular energy efficiency, reducing oxidative stress, and protecting DNA replication. The decaffeination is critical: dogs can experience serious adverse effects from caffeine, and GreenSelect removes it entirely while preserving the EGCG. The phytosome delivery then dramatically improves how much EGCG actually reaches the body's tissues. The result is all the longevity benefit of green tea polyphenols with none of the caffeine concern. Mitochondrial Protection Protecting the energy-producing machinery inside each cell from the inside out, where oxidative aging is most concentrated. AstaReal Astaxanthin · 3mg The most validated form · membrane-level protection 3mg is not a small dose. This is one of the most potent antioxidants in nature. Astaxanthin is significantly more potent than Vitamin E or standard antioxidants at equivalent doses. What makes it uniquely valuable for longevity is where it works: it integrates directly into cell membranes, providing antioxidant protection from within the membrane structure itself, including the mitochondrial membranes where the most concentrated oxidative activity of cellular aging occurs. For aging cells whose energy-producing machinery is generating more oxidative waste than the body's defenses can efficiently neutralize, this membrane-level protection is one of the most meaningful forms of cellular defense available. AstaReal is the most clinically validated and most bioavailable form, sourced from microalgae and backed by research specific to this ingredient rather than astaxanthin generally. Why seven ingredients together outperform any single one ✓NR restocks the fuel. Resveratrol and Curcumin activate the maintenance crew directly. Green Tea adds a third activation signal. No single compound does all three. ✓Taurine and Quercetin both help clear the burned-out cells driving chronic inflammation, through different mechanisms, creating broader coverage than either alone. ✓AstaReal Astaxanthin protects the mitochondria from the inside out, preserving the energy machinery that every other mechanism in the formula depends on. ✓The longevity pathways in your dog's body are interconnected. A comprehensive multi-pathway approach addresses them more effectively than any single ingredient can reach alone. The cancer support dimension This formula is specifically noted by ThorneVet as providing key nutritional support for dogs managing cancer. Here is what that means honestly. Why these ingredients matter Cancer is fundamentally a disease of cellular dysregulation: disrupted energy metabolism, chronic inflammation, and accumulated oxidative damage all contribute to the environment in which cancer develops and progresses. Quercetin, Curcumin, Resveratrol, and Green Tea EGCG have been extensively studied for their roles in supporting healthy cell signaling. AstaReal Astaxanthin provides powerful antioxidant protection supporting immune surveillance. Taurine supports immune competence and reduces the inflammatory environment. What it is and what it is not This formula does not treat cancer. Nothing in our store does. But as a nutritional foundation alongside conventional veterinary cancer treatment, it addresses multiple dimensions of cellular health that matter deeply to the body of a dog navigating that process. That is the honest framing: a meaningful nutritional layer alongside veterinary care, not a replacement for it. Important If your dog is in active cancer treatment, always inform your veterinary oncologist of all supplements you are giving. They will want to factor everything into the full picture of your dog's care and ensure there are no interactions with prescribed treatments. Is this right for your dog? Worth starting if your dog meets any of these. ✓ Has been diagnosed with cancer and is receiving or has completed conventional veterinary treatment. See cautions above and discuss with your veterinarian. ✓ Is entering or already in their senior years and you want to support healthy aging at the cellular level before or as decline develops ✓ Has chronic inflammation that has not fully resolved despite addressing diet and other interventions ✓ Is showing signs of accelerated aging including reduced energy, cognitive changes, or declining physical resilience ✓ Is healthy and middle-aged and you want to be proactive about cellular aging before it accelerates. NAD+ begins declining in middle age, well before clinical signs of aging appear. ✓ Has fatigue or poor recovery that suggests the energy-producing machinery inside cells is working less efficiently than it should ✓ Is a breed with known longevity challenges or predispositions to age-related disease where early cellular support is especially meaningful How to give it One scoop per 25 lbs, once or twice daily. Mixed into wet or dry food. The unflavored powder mixes easily into food. Also available in soft chew form with identical active ingredients. 90 scoops per container.

Pairs cellular longevity support with the 13-ingredient brain-specific formula including Lion's Mane, Bacopa, and Phosphatidylserine that cognitive decline specifically requires. Questions and answers Everything you want to know before you buy. What is NAD+ and why does my dog need it? NAD+ is a molecule found in every cell of your dog's body that is essential for two critical functions: cellular energy production and the activity of sirtuin proteins, which are the master coordinators of cellular maintenance, DNA repair, and inflammatory balance. NAD+ levels decline significantly with age, and that decline is directly associated with accelerated aging and reduced energy. When NAD+ falls, the cellular maintenance system becomes understaffed and damage accumulates faster. Nicotinamide Riboside in this formula is the most efficient way to restore NAD+ levels, giving the maintenance system the resources it needs to keep doing its job effectively. What did the 2023 Science study find about taurine? A landmark study published in the journal Science in 2023 found that taurine levels decline significantly with age across multiple mammalian species, including mice, rats, and monkeys, and that taurine supplementation extended lifespan in those animals, reduced biological markers of cellular aging, improved muscle strength and bone density, and enhanced immune function in older subjects. The mechanism involves taurine's ability to help the body reduce the accumulation of burned-out cells that drive chronic inflammation throughout aging. This is one of the most significant longevity findings in recent years, and it is why taurine is the highest-dosed ingredient in this formula at 500mg per scoop. What are senescent cells and why do they matter for aging? Senescent cells are cells that have stopped functioning normally but have not died. Instead of clearing themselves out, they remain in tissue releasing inflammatory signals that damage the healthy cells around them. Think of them like burned-out light bulbs that stay in the socket and emit a kind of chemical static that interferes with all the functioning bulbs around them. As dogs age, these cells accumulate throughout the body. The inflammatory signals they release are a primary driver of virtually every age-related condition. Taurine and Quercetin in this formula both have documented ability to help the body reduce this cellular burden. Is resveratrol safe for dogs? Yes, at appropriate doses from a high-quality source. Resveratrol has been studied in dogs and other animals and is well-tolerated. The key is using the trans form, which is the biologically active form, from a high-purity source. Veri-Te resveratrol in this formula is fermentation-derived, third-party tested for purity, and guaranteed to contain only the active trans form. The meaningful caution is that resveratrol has mild blood-thinning properties, which is why this formula should not be used alongside pharmaceutical blood thinners without veterinary guidance. Can I start this for a healthy middle-aged dog, or is it only for seniors? This formula is appropriate and beneficial for dogs at any adult life stage. NAD+ levels begin declining in middle age, well before clinical signs of aging appear. Senescent cells accumulate throughout adult life. Starting Longevity Complex before the decline is advanced gives those pathways the best possible foundation. Think of it the way you would think about any preventive health investment: the earlier you start, the more meaningful the long-term benefit. The formula is as relevant for prevention as it is for active support of a dog already showing signs of aging. What do holistic vets recommend for healthy aging in dogs? Holistic and integrative veterinarians approach aging as a multi-pathway, multi-system process requiring comprehensive support. The compounds most consistently discussed include NAD+ precursors like Nicotinamide Riboside, sirtuin activators like Resveratrol, polyphenol antioxidants like Quercetin and Curcumin, taurine for its newly documented longevity biology role, and potent mitochondrial antioxidants like astaxanthin. They consistently emphasize phytosome delivery for polyphenols to ensure bioavailability, and validated forms of each ingredient rather than generic versions. Longevity Complex brings all of these together with the sourcing and delivery quality that makes the research translate to your dog's bowl. The clean formula standard you expect 7 active longevity ingredients Nicotinamide Riboside for NAD+ restoration Veri-Te trans-resveratrol · pure active form AstaReal astaxanthin · most validated form Three phytosome polyphenols for superior absorption Non-GMO · NASC Certified Third-party tested The best investment you can make in your dog's future is protecting the biology that determines how they age today. Most people think about aging in dogs reactively. You wait for the stiffness, the cognitive changes, the organ decline, and then you respond to each symptom as it appears. Longevity science has given us something better: the ability to target the biological mechanisms of aging itself before the symptoms arrive, and meaningfully influence how quickly those mechanisms progress.
