Scientifically proven: These ingredients really work against skin aging
In modern longevity research, certain bioactive substances are increasingly coming into focus – not because of short-term trends, but because their effects on skin aging, cell protection and regeneration are now solidly documented.
In this article, we introduce you to the active ingredients that, according to current studies, make a measurable difference – and how you can specifically integrate them into your daily routine.
Why skin aging begins in the cells
Wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dry or dull skin – these are often only visible symptoms. Deep processes are taking place in the background: With increasing age, cell regeneration slows, mitochondria become less efficient, oxidative stress increases, and important structural proteins like collagen are broken down.
Therefore, anti-aging does not begin on the skin – but in the cell .
1. NMN – the cell booster for mitochondrial energy
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a precursor to NAD⁺, a coenzyme essential for cellular energy and DNA repair. NAD⁺ levels decline significantly with age, negatively impacting skin regeneration 1 .
Daily supplementation with NMN from Minerva-Vita can help stabilize energy processes in the skin – and thus visibly counteract skin aging.
2. Spermidine – Autophagy as an anti-aging mechanism
Spermidine activates autophagy —the cell's natural cleansing mechanism. Damaged cell components are broken down and regenerated. 2 Well-functioning autophagy is crucial for the renewal of healthy skin structures.

3. Trans-Resveratrol – the activator of longevity genes
Trans-resveratrol activates so-called sirtuins – enzymes that are important for DNA repair and cellular stress resistance 3 . It has an antioxidant effect, protects cells from UV damage, and supports skin structure from within.
In combination with NMN, a strong synergistic effect on NAD⁺ synthesis and sirtuin activation develops.

4. Verisol® Collagen – visible results through bioactive peptides
Verisol® peptides are specifically developed for the skin's structure. Studies show that just 2.5 g daily is enough to improve skin elasticity , reduce wrinkle depth , and increase skin moisture 4 .
Our product Grace contains exactly this evidence-based dosage – without fillers or additives.

5. Hyaluronic acid – moisture from within
Hyaluronic acid can bind a thousand times its own weight in water—ideal for smooth, plump skin. After age 30, the body's own production declines significantly. Studies show that oral supplementation improves skin hydration and reduces fine lines 5 .

6. Carotenoids – antioxidant protection & natural glow
Carotenoids such as beta-carotene, lycopene, and astaxanthin protect skin cells from oxidative stress—especially from UV radiation. They also promote an even complexion and give the skin a natural glow.
