How Do Top Longevity Supplement Brands Compare?

There are so many supplement brands on the market, not just in-store but also online that may not be found in stores in your country.

It can be incredibly hard to choose which one to go with, and, other than reviews and word of mouth, there’s not much to go by, especially since many brands sell the same supplements.

If you’ve ever been interested in purchasing Xandro Lab’s longevity supplements, we’ve rounded up our competitors to show you where we sit among them, as well as what sets each of us apart. 

This way, you’ll be a little bit more informed when deciding which brand to purchase when buying longevity and anti-aging supplements.

What Sets Xandro Lab Apart from Other Supplement Brands?

While we’re a younger brand that doesn’t have as many products available as competitors and hasn’t yet built the reputation that established companies have, there’s still a lot about us that makes us stand out.

Xandro Lab is a company founded by a team of passionate fitness enthusiasts, so we know exactly the sorts of issues other health and fitness individuals are trying to address.

We know that there’s no one, magical fix to health, so rather than formulating products that combine a range of ingredients, we’re taking a different approach:

Biohacking.

What is biohacking? Biohacking is do-it-yourself biology, where one manages their own biology by making incremental changes to their body, diet and lifestyle to improve health and well-being This could be through medical, nutritional, physical or electronic technologies.

This way, you’re able to monitor each ingredient you’re adding into your body to then see its results.

But we don’t just release a new product willy-nilly. We believe in only consuming supplements that are heavily backed by scientific research so we invest in research and development so you can be rest assured that the supplements you consume are scientifically proven to be effective.

We also value being transparent in that research. This is why you can find the clinical trials and research behind each of our products on our website (here).

This is why we currently don’t have a large selection of products. We don’t bulk-release products just to earn more money, we thoroughly ensure each product is well-scientifically researched and tested before being offered.

We’re also quite interested in learning more about the human body and different compounds, vitamins and nutrients that are beneficial to our health, which is why we also write thoroughly researched blog posts, both about supplements we sell and those we don’t, and other information we think is important to keeping yourself aware about.

Because, really, you need to have all the information you need to make an informed decision about your health. Check out our blog posts here.

Since we don’t have a large product offering, we’re able to ensure that all our products are Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified. This means that our supplements had to go through an audit to receive the certification, which not all supplement manufacturers do as it’s not a requirement. When purchasing a Xandro Lab supplement, you know you’re receiving a high-quality supplement that has undergone rigorous quality control standards.

At Xandro Lab, we’re also able to keep the cost relatively low to offer budget-friendly longevity supplements that are still high-quality. This is because we cut out the middleman and work directly with our suppliers for sustainable sourced ingredients. This way, we can manage and oversees all operational processes from beginning to end.

When comparing gram to gram, Xandro Lab supplements are cheaper than most of our competitors. With our affordable price point, it’s easier for you to make easy and affordable changes to your health. This gives you accessibility in an industry where performance-based supplements are commonly linked with high prices.

Are Xandro lab supplements good? With our brand pillars of community, quality and accessibility guiding us, we also provide a 30-day refund guarantee. This gives you peace of mind that the supplement is of high quality as well as the knowledge that we believe in our products.

What to Look for in a Supplement Brand

Some people are sceptical of companies that sell a lot of products as this often means they are outsourcing and they don’t know what’s going on with every product. This isn’t always true, but it might be something you want to look into.

Keep note of exaggerated claims, overpromises and dubious marketing strategies. Make sure to purchase from reputable sources and as always, seek medical advice from a doctor before you incorporate any new supplement into your routine.

If you’re looking to stay away from large companies, keep in mind that many supplement brands are owned by Nestle:

Which supplements you take depends on your individual needs, so make sure to research and look at the ingredients of the specific supplement you’re after. This way, you can compare ingredients, purity and whether the third-party testing information is given.

We hope this has given you an understanding of some of the differences between supplement brands.
