A healthy ageing supplement checklist: start with the label

International buying guide

This healthy ageing supplement checklist is built for international buyers. We show what to read on the label, how to check the seller, and how to do the price per day maths. Then we hold Geroprotect Essentials I and II against the same checklist.

How to use this healthy ageing supplement checklist

Marketing pages tell a story. A label gives you numbers. When you buy from another country, the label is the part you can check against a fixed standard. Start there, and read in this order.

  1. Check for defined amounts, not a proprietary blend.
  2. Confirm the form and the serving size.
  3. Look for certificates of analysis and be honest about human versus animal research.
  4. Find the seller's legal name and its returns policy.
  5. Read the shipping and duties rules before checkout.
  6. Do the price per day maths.

That order is how to choose a supplement calmly, rather than buying on a story.

Defined amounts beat proprietary blends

Many formulas hide their contents behind the words "proprietary blend". That means the seller lists ingredients but not how much of each one is inside. You cannot do real price maths or compare two products if the amounts are hidden.

Geroprotect Essentials I and II work the other way. Each formula lists 13 actives, and every amount is printed on the label. Together that is 26 listed actives with defined amounts and no proprietary blends.

That is the first rule of any supplement label guide, and it matters even more for a cellular nutrition supplement with a long list of actives.

Tablets and a clear serving size

Form matters. A tablet is a pressed dose with the actives held together. Both Essentials formulas come as tablets, not capsules.

The serving size tells you what the product asks for each day. Each bottle holds 180 tablets, and the labelled serving is six tablets daily. That is a 30-day supply per bottle.

Multiply the serving size by the number of days you plan to take it. Six tablets a day is a different daily commitment than one. That is not better or worse; it is information you should know before you buy.

Certificates and honest evidence

Ask for certificates of analysis, not adjectives. Geroprotect publishes raw-material COAs from its manufacturer and raw-material suppliers on the group's documents page. These are first-party source documents, not independent third-party laboratory reports unless a document names such a laboratory.

Then be honest about evidence. The group's research notes cover NMN, NR and urolithin A in one place, Ca-AKG with TCA-cycle and epigenetic-clock evidence in another, and fisetin, quercetin and apigenin in a third. Some of that work is human research and some is animal research. A human study and an animal study are not the same thing, and neither one is a promise about a finished supplement.

A real seller, returns, shipping and duties

An international order is only as good as the seller behind it. Check the legal name, the returns policy and the shipping rules before you pay.

Geroprotect is sold by 1313 GEROPROTECT L.L.C-FZ, registered in Meydan Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, licence 2310881.01, TRN 104351267000001. Orders ship from Dubai.

You can pay by card — Visa, Mastercard or American Express — or Apple Pay. Cash on delivery is not offered on this store. Prices are shown in AED and include 5 % UAE VAT; your card provider converts at checkout.

The returns policy is 30 days after delivery for unopened items in original packaging. EU customers also have a 14-day cooling-off right. Return shipping is paid by the customer unless the item is defective, damaged or incorrect.

UAE delivery is free, with same-day dispatch and delivery normally the next working day, or the same day in eligible Dubai areas. Those are estimates, not a set schedule. International shipping covers destinations including Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Singapore and Japan, with the full list at checkout. Same-day dispatch applies. Free shipping starts at AED 449; below that it is AED 50, shown before you pay. Transit times vary by destination, and import duties, taxes and customs charges are the recipient's responsibility. The country selector at checkout is the final word on whether we ship to an address.

Price per day: the simple maths

Never compare bottle prices. Compare the cost of one day.

Each Essentials bottle is AED 260 and contains a 30-day supply. Divide AED 260 by 30 days and you get about AED 8.67 a day.

Two bottles are AED 520. The code BUNDLE10 takes 10 % off when you buy two or more units. Other codes are FIRST10, which takes 10 % off a first order for one use per customer, and WELCOME15, which takes 15 % for mailing-list members. Use only what is listed here.

Essentials I and Essentials II are two formulas, not two strengths of one thing. They cover different actives, so the choice depends on which label matches your own checklist.

Who this is not for. A supplement is not a medicine, and this is not a substitute for medical advice. Do not buy these formulas if you take medication, have a medical condition, are pregnant or nursing, or have questions about suitability without first speaking to a qualified healthcare professional. Healthy ageing is a category word here; it describes the shelf, not a promised outcome.

Frequently asked questions

Q1. What is a proprietary blend, and why does it matter?

A proprietary blend is a label that names ingredients without their individual amounts. Without amounts you cannot compare products or do honest price maths. Essentials I and II avoid this by printing every amount on the label.

Q2. How many tablets do I take, and how long does a bottle last?

Six tablets daily. Each bottle holds 180 tablets, which is a 30-day supply.

Q3. What testing documents does Geroprotect publish?

We publish raw-material COAs from the manufacturer and raw-material suppliers on the group's documents page. We do not call those independent third-party testing unless a document names an independent laboratory.

Q4. How much do shipping and duties cost?

UAE delivery is free. International orders get free shipping at AED 449 and above, and AED 50 below that. Import duties, taxes and customs are the recipient's responsibility. Transit times vary by destination.

Q5. Can I return the products?

Yes, within 30 days after delivery for unopened items in original packaging. EU customers also have a 14-day cooling-off right. Return shipping is paid by the customer unless the item is defective, damaged or incorrect. There are no direct exchanges.
