What if getting older wasn’t about fighting your age, but supporting your body so you can feel good for more of it?
There’s been a subtle shift in the way we talk about ageing.
For years, the conversation was largely about anti-ageing – creams promising younger-looking skin, diets designed to help us lose weight and endless advice about how to look as though we haven’t actually lived the past 20 years.
But perhaps we’ve been looking at it the wrong way.
The new conversation is about healthspan – not simply how long we live, but how many of those years we spend feeling healthy, energetic, capable and able to do the things we love.
And increasingly, science is looking much deeper than what we can see in the mirror.
As we age, a number of processes within our cells naturally change. Cellular energy production can become less efficient, NAD+ levels decline, oxidative stress can increase and systems involved in metabolism, cardiovascular health and cellular repair can change too.
That’s where NexAge™ by Good Health comes in.
Rather than being another generic multivitamin, NexAge is a targeted healthy-ageing range designed around different aspects of the ageing process – from cellular energy and metabolism to cardiovascular health, liver function, skin and vitality. The range combines researched ingredients with Good Health’s nearly four decades of experience developing nutritional and herbal health products in New Zealand.
And importantly, the philosophy isn’t about stopping the clock.
It’s about helping you get more good years out of it.
So, what exactly is NexAge™?
Think of it as a toolbox for healthy ageing.
There isn’t one magic ingredient that can do everything – and NexAge doesn’t pretend there is. Instead, its products target different areas of wellbeing that can become increasingly important as we move through our 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond.
Here’s a closer look at the products in the range.
1. NexAge™ Cellular Energy NAD+
For: Supporting cellular energy and healthy ageing
If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t quite bounce back from a late night, busy week or big weekend the way you once did, your cells may have something to say about it.
Cellular energy is fundamental to almost everything our bodies do. NexAge Cellular Energy NAD+ is designed to support NAD+ production and cellular energy – essentially focusing on some of the machinery inside our cells that helps keep us functioning.
It’s a particularly interesting area of longevity science because NAD+ naturally declines with age. NexAge takes a proactive approach by providing nutritional support aimed at this important cellular pathway.
In other words: this is the product for those interested in what’s happening under the bonnet, rather than simply what they can see on the outside.
2. NexAge™ NMN 150mg
For: Cellular energy and healthy ageing
NMN – or nicotinamide mononucleotide – has become one of the buzzwords in the longevity world, and for good reason.
NMN is a precursor to NAD+, a molecule found throughout the body that plays an important role in cellular energy production and other cellular processes. NAD+ levels naturally decline as we get older, which is why supporting this pathway has become an area of increasing scientific interest.
The 150mg formula provides a lower-dose option for those wanting to explore NMN as part of a healthy-ageing routine.
It’s less about chasing eternal youth and more about supporting the tiny powerhouses that keep us going.
3. NexAge™ Vascular Cardio Care
For: Cardiovascular health and healthy circulation
We tend to think of heart health as being about one organ – our heart. But there’s another enormous part of the picture: our blood vessels.
Our cardiovascular system is responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, so maintaining healthy cardiovascular function is an important part of ageing well.
NexAge Vascular Cardio Care combines ingredients including CoQ10, vitamin D3, MenaQ7® vitamin K2 and RedNite® beetroot juice powder to support cardiovascular wellbeing, healthy circulation and cellular energy.
And there’s something rather appealing about this approach. Instead of waiting until our health becomes a problem, we can think about supporting the systems that help keep us moving, active and independent.
4. NexAge™ Berberine Advanced+
For: Metabolic health and healthy glucose metabolism
Metabolism might not be the sexiest topic at the dinner table, but it becomes increasingly relevant as we age.
NexAge Berberine Advanced+ contains Berbevis® Berberine Phytosome™, a specialised form designed to improve bioavailability, together with chromium. It is formulated to support healthy glucose and carbohydrate metabolism, normal cholesterol levels, antioxidant protection and overall metabolic wellbeing.
The use of Phytosome® technology is part of what differentiates this formula. The technology combines active compounds with phospholipids to help improve absorption.
For anyone taking a more proactive interest in metabolic health, it’s a great addition to the healthy-ageing toolkit.
5. NexAge™ Advanced Liver Support+
For: Liver health, antioxidant protection and cellular energy
Our liver is one of those extraordinary organs that quietly gets on with an enormous amount of work every day.
NexAge Advanced Liver Support+ combines high-strength milk thistle extract with PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone).
Milk thistle is traditionally used to support liver health and natural detoxification processes, while PQQ is an antioxidant that has been researched for its role in mitochondrial function and cellular energy.
The result is a formula aimed at supporting liver health while also addressing cellular energy and antioxidant protection.
Because healthy ageing isn’t just about one part of the body – it’s about keeping all those behind-the-scenes systems working together.
6. NexAge™ Glow Skin Radiance
For: Skin vitality and healthy skin ageing
And yes, we have to talk about the outside too.
Because while healthy ageing certainly isn’t about trying to look 25 forever, most of us would quite like our skin to look as healthy and vibrant as possible.
NexAge Glow Skin Radiance takes an inside-out approach, combining ergothioneine, PQQ, L-glutathione and vitamin C.
Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, while the antioxidant ingredients provide support against oxidative stress. PQQ is included for its role in cellular energy and mitochondrial support.
The idea is beautifully simple: rather than relying entirely on what we put on our skin, support it nutritionally from within too.
7. NexAge™ Advanced Deep Sleep
For: Restful sleep and relaxation
Good sleep becomes increasingly important as we age, yet it can be one of the first things to suffer when life gets busy or stress levels rise.
NexAge Advanced Deep Sleep combines Relissa® Lemon Balm Phytosome® and L-Theanine to support relaxation, a calm mind and healthy sleep patterns. The formula is designed to help support falling asleep and staying asleep, making it an interesting addition to a healthy-ageing routine.
Because sometimes one of the best things you can do for your future self is simply get a really good night’s sleep.
8. NexAge™ Men’s Vitality Advanced+
For: Men’s vitality, healthy testosterone levels and energy
Healthy ageing doesn’t look exactly the same for everyone, and men have their own set of considerations as they move through midlife and beyond.
NexAge Men’s Vitality Advanced+ is formulated specifically around men’s health, with support for vitality, libido, energy and healthy testosterone levels within the normal range.
And while supplements may form part of the picture, the basics remain remarkably powerful: regular movement, strength training, adequate protein, good sleep and managing stress all have an important role to play in maintaining vitality as we age.
It’s not about taking everything
Perhaps the most sensible thing about the new longevity conversation is that it doesn’t have to mean swallowing a handful of capsules every morning and hoping for the best.
Healthy ageing is a big picture.
Good nutrition.
Regular exercise.
Strength and mobility.
Quality sleep.
Managing stress.
Staying socially connected.
Looking after your cardiovascular and metabolic health.
And, where appropriate, targeted nutritional support.
NexAge has been designed around that idea – with different products addressing different areas rather than pretending one supplement can do it all.
The new goal? More life in your years
Perhaps the most refreshing thing about healthy ageing is that it moves the conversation away from looking younger and towards living better.
It’s being able to walk the Abel Tasman track at 65. Still having the energy to travel at 70. Being strong enough to garden, cycle, dance, play with the grandchildren or simply get through a busy day without feeling completely wiped out. It’s about independence, vitality and enjoying the life you’ve worked so hard to build.
Ageing is inevitable. But the way we approach it is changing.
And rather than trying to turn back time, perhaps the smarter goal is to support our bodies for the journey ahead – so we can feel more like ourselves for longer.
