CyanthOx™: Redefining Cellular Health

CyanthOx™: Redefining Cellular Health

As the science of aging advances, consumers are increasingly seeking evidence-based solutions to extend their vitality. The rise of cellular health as a wellness focus is driving interest in a new generation of ingredients—and CyanthOx™ is emerging as one of the most promising.

Antioxidant power, stem cell activation, and mitochondrial support are no longer just buzzwords, but the pillars of next-generation anti-aging strategies. At the forefront of this movement is CyanthOx™, a plant-based extract rapidly gaining attention for its multi-level support of cellular health.

At this year’s Active Nutrition Summit in Vienna, industry experts highlighted the explosive growth in cellular health products. “Longevity brands are trying to find ways to get to the foundational approach of aging,” said Nick Morgan, Managing Director at Nutrition Integrated. “And probably the biggest area that consumers are driving, and the one where we’re seeing the fastest amount of product growth, is cellular health.


A New Standard in Antioxidant Defense

CyanthOx™ stands out with an ORAC value of 895,281 μmol TE/100g—nine times higher than grape seed extract and nearly double that of French maritime pine bark extract. This exceptional antioxidant capacity is crucial in combating oxidative stress, a major contributor to cellular aging. But the benefits of CyanthOx™ go far beyond neutralizing free radicals.

Supporting Stem Cell Vitality

In a major human clinical trial, CyanthOx™ enhanced the activity of key circulating stem cells—including progenitor, mesenchymal, and endothelial cells—by over 40%. Revitalizing these cells is essential for tissue regeneration and resilience, supporting both longevity and recovery from daily cellular damage.

Boosting Mitochondrial Energy

Mitochondrial function is increasingly recognized as fundamental to longevity, with dysfunction often cited as a hallmark of aging. CyanthOx™ improved mitochondrial membrane potential by 69%, leading to a 91% increase in ATP production. Enhanced ATP output means better sustained energy metabolism and reduced oxidative damage at the cellular level.

Fighting Senescence and Inflammation

Cellular senescence—where cells lose their ability to divide and function—has become a central target in the science of aging. CyanthOx™ has demonstrated significant anti-senescence effects, particularly in human dermal fibroblasts, increasing cell viability by 64% and boosting type I collagen in aging cells. This translates to improved skin structure and reduced visible signs of aging.

Chronic inflammation, another driver of age-related decline, is also addressed by CyanthOx™. Clinical research shows reductions in critical inflammatory markers:

TNF-α: ↓33%

• IL-1β: ↓33%

• IL-6: ↓57%

• VEGF: ↓29%

(Liu, X. et al., 2022)

These findings suggest a broad potential for CyanthOx™ in supporting overall healthy aging.

Gut Health and Beyond

Gut health is now recognized as foundational to systemic well-being and longevity. CyanthOx™ has demonstrated superiority over standard pharmaceuticals in healing and preventing ulcers, highlighting its role in maintaining a healthy gut lining and supporting optimal nutrient absorption.

What’s Next for Cellular Health Ingredients?

As consumers become more educated and proactive, they seek not just surface-level solutions, but products that work at the deepest levels of their biology. “This is a really fast emerging area,” Morgan noted. “It’s saying to people: ‘What are you going to do today for the purpose of tomorrow?’”.

The future of ageless nutrition may well lie in ingredients like CyanthOx™—delivering multi-targeted support for the cells that govern how we age. Brands and formulators looking to stay ahead in the longevity market are taking note.
