ANTI AGING NUTRITION RESEARCH
SAAN explores microbiome research enhancing wellness and longevity through innovative anti-aging nutritional solutions.
Advancing the science of nutrition for healthy longevity
The Swiss Association of Anti-Aging Nutrition (SAAN) is a scientific organization dedicated to understanding how nutrition influences the biological processes of aging. Through research coordination, evidence evaluation, and knowledge translation, SAAN supports the development of responsible, science-based strategies to extend healthspan and improve quality of life.
Why Nutrition Matters in Aging
Aging is not a single process, but a complex interaction of metabolic, inflammatory, cellular, and environmental factors. Nutrition plays a central role in modulating these mechanisms across the lifespan.
SAAN exists to ensure that nutritional approaches to anti-aging are grounded in rigorous science, clinical relevance, and ethical responsibility — bridging the gap between research, healthcare, and practical application.
Our Research Focus
SAAN supports and highlights research across key domains of anti-aging nutrition:
1
Cellular Aging & Metabolism
Understanding how nutrients and bioactive compounds influence cellular repair, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and metabolic resilience.
2
Inflammation & Immune Aging
Investigating nutritional strategies to modulate chronic low-grade inflammation (“inflammaging”) and maintain immune competence over time.
3
Gut Health & Longevity
Exploring the interactions between diet, the gut microbiome, and systemic aging processes affecting cognition, metabolism, and immunity.

4
Nutrient Sensing & Longevity Pathways
Examining how dietary composition and timing influence longevity-related pathways such as insulin signaling, mTOR, and autophagy.
5
Personalized & Preventive Nutrition
Supporting research that integrates biomarkers, genetics, lifestyle factors, and targeted nutritional interventions to enable individualized anti-aging strategies.
