If a trial found no effect, we report it. Cherry-picking is how bad products get credibility. We show the full picture.
About Longevity Atlas
We built the evidence layer we wished existed.
Too many decisions in the longevity economy are made on marketing copy, not data. We exist to change that — one ingredient, one clinical trial, one honest grade at a time.
Why we built this
We have always cared about health, happiness, and living well for longer. Not as an abstract idea — as something you feel when you watch people around you make decisions about their bodies with incomplete or actively misleading information.
The longevity supplement market is enormous and growing fast. It is also full of noise: brands that cherry-pick the most favorable trial, influencers who confuse correlation with causation, and products that extrapolate mouse studies to human health claims. Meanwhile, the actual clinical evidence — thousands of registered trials, meta-analyses, null results — sits in databases most people never touch.
We decided to close that gap. Longevity Atlas maps what the evidence actually says, including the weak results and the failures. Because honest information is the only kind that is actually useful.
The East–West divide made this problem worse. Decades of rigorous research on Chinese tonic herbs, adaptogens, and traditional longevity compounds exists almost entirely in Mandarin-language literature and regional registries. We index both sides and treat them with the same evidence standards.
What we believe
A single small RCT and a dozen replicated meta-analyses are not the same thing. Our confidence scores reflect the quality and quantity of evidence, not just its existence.
Rhodiola, NMN, astragalus, and NR all deserve the same rigorous treatment. Geography should not determine which compounds get indexed.
We show our methodology, our sources, and our conflicts. If you know how we arrive at a score, you can trust — or challenge — the score.
Who we are
Longevity Atlas is built and maintained by the Longevity Atlas Research Team at phycyber — a research and intelligence studio focused on the longevity economy.
We are a small team with deep interests in clinical research, East Asian pharmacology, and the infrastructure problems of a maturing supplement industry. We do not have a large staff. We do have strong opinions about evidence quality, and we build our own tooling to process trial registries and literature at scale.
Conflicts of interest
How we make money, and what that means for you
Affiliate links (iHerb)
Some ingredient pages contain "Buy on iHerb" buttons. These are affiliate links — if you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This does not affect evidence grades, confidence scores, or which ingredients we include. iHerb has no editorial influence over our research.
Paid research reports ($499+)
We sell bespoke evidence dossiers and research briefs to brands, clinics, and investors. These are commissioned analyses — the client chooses the ingredient or topic, we conduct independent research. Commissioned work does not alter public ingredient profiles or collection rankings on this site.
What we do not do
We do not accept payment from suppliers or brands to be listed, ranked, or featured on this platform. Supplier directory listings are not paid placements. Confidence scores cannot be purchased.
If you believe a conflict of interest has affected our research, we want to know. Contact us at research@phycyber.ai.
