Why I Created P.S. Longevity Multivitamin – And What It Means for Your Future Health

After having kids and turning 40, I was ready to take my health and longevity seriously. I had spent the better part of my 20s and 30s beating up my body.

Lifting heavy, filling my body with takeout and partying a little too hard (sorry not sorry).

I was done being here for just a good time, and decided that I wanted to be here for a long time.

I was ready to be deliberate about my food, exercise and mental health for the long term.

So I spent some time learning about what leads to longevity gains. I started with the basics. Diet, exercise, sleep, stress management and community.

Then I checked out the Top 10 leading causes of death in America

The figure consists of a bar graph of the provisional leading underlying causes of death in the United States during 2022, according to data from the National Vital Statistics System.

Nearly all of them (85.4% actually) could be prevented by something I had heard of, but wasn't quite familiar with – antioxidants.

I learned about the Free Radical Theory of Aging and found that I wasn't getting enough anti-aging antioxidants through fruit and vegetable intake.

I didn't feel bad about it because 90% of Americans are missing out on this key piece of longevity. It's so basic and foundational that I couldn't believe we weren't paying attention, myself included.

So I wondered how I could get my antioxidants plus daily vitamins and minerals all in one go. I didn't like the multi products out there because my body couldn't absorb the ingredients (more on that later) or I didn't really know what was actually going into them because they didn't include 3rd party testing results.

So I formulated P.S. Longevity to fit my needs and to easily fit into my daily routine since consistency is what leads to gains. And it's hard to be consistent when you add complexity.

Here are the 6 main reasons why I created P.S. Longevity Multivitamin.

MTHFR Friendly & Bioavailability

I knew that whatever I came up with had to be easily absorbed by my body. I fall into the 40% of Americans who have the MTHFR gene mutation, which means that my body cannot process certain B vitamins unless they're methylated.

So it was a non-negotiable for me to make P.S. Longevity Multi MTHFR Friendly. But I didn't stop there. I researched every single ingredient in the formula and chose the MOST bioavailable form of that ingredient.

What's the point of taking something if your body isn't going to use it?

Everything in Moderation

As I was researching other supplement products, I noticed a trend. A lot of products had multiple times the daily value of ingredients. Why do you need 500%, 1,000% or even 20,000% (not a typo) of the daily value of anything?!

More is not more. In fact, too much of a good thing turns out to be a bad thing. I learned that too much B6, B7 (Biotin) and/or B12 can lead to acne breakouts.

No wonder my face had pimples all over it! I was pissed because I thought I was doing something good for my body.

Something I also didn't want was any extra sugars, artificial sweeteners or flavors. I wanted to keep it about the business.

Through my research, I also found that too much of any particular antioxidant could actually be detrimental to your health. So I put just the right amount of every ingredient into P.S. Longevity.

We also put a variety of different antioxidants so as not to overload the body and cause unintended harm.

Not too much. Not too little. Just enough.

Convenient & Easy to Take

I needed something that was convenient to take. Because again, if it's not easy to incorporate into my busy lifestyle, then I probably won't be consistent with it, thereby taking away the benefits of taking it in the first place.

I don't have time to put together a goddamn shake or mix up some concoction. And I definitely don't want to have to clean up and do extra dishes. Fuck that. Just give me one easy capsule to take and be done with it.

Antioxidants!

Let's go back to this antioxidant thing. The way it works is that just by living and your body metabolizing food into energy, your cells create free radicals. Too many free radicals cause aging and damage to your cells (oxidative stress). Antioxidants neutralize free radicals to keep your body balanced.

I say again. 90% of Americans don't get enough antioxidants, which generally come from fruits and vegetables, so it's THE BASIC building block of longevity. If you don't start your longevity stack here, then you're building a house of cards. You have to start with a strong foundation and that's with antioxidants.

P.S. Longevity helps bridge your antioxidant gap with extracts from some of the most antioxidant dense fruits and vegetables out there. It also includes anti-aging essentials like NR (a precursor to NAD+), CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid and more.

3rd Party Tested

I'm not saying I have trust issues, but there are a lot of companies that either don't have all the ingredients that they say are in their products and/or there's other stuff, like heavy metals, that are also included in products that of course aren't listed on the package. Because why would they, it's literally toxic.

So we made the decision to send our formula to a 3rd party lab to test for the ingredients as well as heavy metals. In fact, we had to delay the launch of P.S. Longevity because we were off by a tiny amount (we're talking milligrams) of some ingredients. We care that much. And if you do too, then you can check out our certificate from the 3rd party lab.

Glass > Plastic

Lastly, since we pride our products on being high quality and clean, we had to make the extra effort and cost into putting our products in packaging that not only are good for the environment, but also won't poison your body with plastic.

We chose to put P.S. Longevity in a glass bottle even though it's more expensive, heavier and a pain to ship, because plastic bottles leach microplastics, forever chemicals (PFAS), BPA and Phthalates that affect your endocrine system, hormones and ultimately make you die earlier. And that goes against the whole point of our product. Plus, it looks better doesn't it?

So there you have it. It took us a year to come up with the formula, the right manufacturer and conduct all the testing, but it was worth it. I love the product and hope you do too.
