The study used the Collagen Activator supplement from Switzerland-based longevity startup Avea Life AG. The product is built around Colgevity, a patented vegan collagen precursor developed in cooperation with ETH Zurich that is a combination of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline in a 3:1:1 ratio. The consumer product is also formulated with alpha-ketoglutarate, astaxanthin, and vitamin C from acerola cherry. The new paper explored the potential of the Colgevity amino acid combination to prolong lifespan in a range of pre-clinical models, including C. elegans, lab mice and human cell lines.
