The Science Behind Lumity

We know that the supplement world can be confusing, and working out what will truly make a difference to you is not always easy. In a market of misleading claims, we want to empower our customers with all of the information they need in order to make the best and most informed decision

Scientific Rigour & Transparency

We commissioned an independent, 3rd party clinical trial for our Morning & Night supplement to establish its efficacy in a controlled environment. 

The trial set out to discover if Morning & Night had a direct effect on skin health but the results, which were published in the The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, demonstrated that participants taking Morning & Night experienced significant improvements not just in their skin health but in their total wellbeing.

Explore 9 Causes of Ageing

Biologists have identified 9 hallmarks that represent common denominators of ageing in humans. The Lumity Morning & Night supplement was developed to provide a balance of vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids & adaptogens that work synergistically to support health ageing from within, helping to tackle these 9 interrelated causes of ageing. Scroll on to discover more.

1. DNA Damage

As the blueprint for our cells, DNA’s integrity is crucial to maintain proper cellular function. Damage to our DNA is usually repaired on an ongoing basis within our cells -- but if left unaddressed, such damage can impair the way information is relayed and interpreted, causing dysfunction. Important cell processes can be blocked, damaged portions can mutate and be passed on as the cell continues to divide, and cell death can be accelerated.

2. Inflammation

Chronic inflammation, or the persistent activation of inflammatory molecules, often goes unnoticed in our day-to-day lives -- but this persistent low-grade attack often precedes and characterizes many degenerative diseases. System breakdown and accelerated aging result.

3. Cellular Energy Decline

Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses within our cells -- but as we age, they become fewer in number and less effective at producing the energy we need. As a result, we suffer from chronic energy loss and fatigue as fuel produced by our remaining mitochondria
is rationed only for the most essential bodily processes. In this underpowered state, the body is susceptible to disease and degeneration.

4. Hormonal Decline

When we are young, human growth hormone (HGH) is released while we sleep to help repair, renew, and regenerate the body’s tissues. As we age, HGH levels drop, leading to a loss of youthfulness and vitality and resulting in extra body fat, reduced muscle tissue, slow healing, reduced skin elasticity, and reduced immune function.

5. Oxidative Damage

Continuous intake and use of oxygen results in the formation of dangerous byproducts such as free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules that can set off dangerous and damaging reactions within the body. Normally, free radicals are stabilized with antioxidants --but as we age, antioxidant stores decline, rendering DNA vulnerable to free radical damage and thus to degenerative disease.

6. Cellular Debris

Cellular function always produces some waste product, which is removed from the cells via a detoxification process. However, as we age and energy production declines, detoxification cannot be completed. As a result, waste products build up inside our cells, hindering function and eventually causing cell death. This is especially problematic in the brain, where cells divide more slowly. Accumulation of cellular debris in our brain cells leads to a loss of alertness and a decline in mental energy and function.

7. Glycation

Glycation occurs when proteins or lipids bond haphazardly with sugar to form non-functioning structures called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Some of these are very reactive and have been linked to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s. AGEs also play a role in collagen breakdown and the depletion of the skin’s natural moisturizer hyaluronic acid. Skin becomes wrinkled, saggy, and dry as a result.

8. Insulin Resistance

Poor diet can lead to the overproduction of insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas that lowers blood glucose levels. As a result, cells can become resistant to insulin and lose their ability to respond to its presence, leading to glucose building up in the blood. This accumulation can result in glycation and formation of AGEs, obesity, and disease.

9. Telomere Shortening

As we age, our telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes, shorten with each cell division. When telomeres become too short, the cell can
no longer divide, leading to cell death.

Why Take Supplements?

To help combat unnecessary cellular damage, it’s essential to support your body with the right nutrition, at the right time. A well balanced diet can deliver a lot of what our body needs, but we know busy lifestyles mean this isn’t always achievable.

Plus, with the global decline in soil quality, the fruit and vegetables we eat are not as nutrient dense as they once were.

Our targeted blends of high quality vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids and anti-inflammatories work in harmony with the body’s own natural processes and rhythm, to repair and restore at a cellular level, supporting you from within so that you can age beautifully and look and feel your absolute best. 

See & Feel The Benefits

We believe if you feel good, you look good. Our clinically proven nutritional supplements help combat the negative effects of ageing, supporting your health, strength and wellbeing from the inside out with a complex blend of Amino Acids, Vitamins, Minerals and Adaptogens.

What The Experts Say

Sara Palmer-Hussey PhD

Lumity Chief Scientist

I formulated the Morning & Night supplement for real men and women, who are trying their best to live a healthy life, but often stress, a busy schedule and less-than-perfect choices or habits get in the way. I see Morning & Night as a high-powered nutritional support that gives disproportionate benefits for minimum commitment. Every Lumity product whether a supplement or a skincare product is packed full of superior nutrition. The nutrients chosen work together in carefully-calibrated teams to support the body’s best health from the inside out and from the outside in.Lumity's approach acknowledges the body's superior intelligence and harnesses the ways the body itself counterbalances on-going damage through protection and repair. Lumity works in balance with the body, following its lead and supporting its intrinsic drive towards health.

I was sent Lumity to try and used it personally for 3 months and I loved it. I've been using it now for about 4 years. For me its a little bit of everything... the Morning & Night supplement supports my skin, it supports nails and it supports my energy. Really crucially it supports my sleep so I have deeper, more regenerative sleep and I think everything is better from your mood to your metabolism if your sleep is on point.

I recently found the best supplements I have ever taken. Having tried Lumity for six months (soft capsules with ingredients of a high-grade quality), I started noticing a significant improvement in my skin and the thickness, and health of my hair. Also, I have more energy, I am sleeping better and feel rejuvenated upon waking. While recovering from an infection and hospital operation, I believe that the supplements also aided a quicker and fully recovery.

I’m very conscious of not endorsing supplements generically (we are all very different!) this is a very clever blend of nutrients! They are also free from gluten, parabens, sulphites, petrochemicals, sugar and many more! Never underestimate the power of clean natural ingredients.

As a Clinical Nutritionist specialised in female health & ageing, I’m always on the lookout for brands and supplements that can support my clients and their evolving nutritional needs over time.Lumity Life really caught my eye with their innovative morning and night formulations. So often supplement brands fail to consider the differing nutritional needs from when you’re waking up ready to face the day and at night when your body is asleep and focused on growth & repair.The morning formulation combines a superior blend of vitamins, minerals & amino acids to support cellular energy production, fatty acid metabolism and mitochondrial health.A really important ingredient featured in Lumity Life is N-Acetyl Carnitine. Carnitine is a compound made in the kidneys, liver and brain that has a variety of functions in the body, but in particular, it plays a crucial role in energy production by transporting fatty acids metabolised from food to your mitochondria. Carnitine production decreases as we age, and low levels have been linked to cognitive decline and other neurodevelopmental disorders. I always recommend my clients to take a good quality N-Acetyl Carnitine supplement and Lumity Life combines it with an array of other fantastic ingredients to support a healthy brain and development as we age.The night formulation is really targeted to support growth & repair as we sleep - a vital period of rest and rejuvenation for the body that is so often overlooked or impaired as we age. The formulation contains an advanced blend of amino acids that provide the building blocks for protein and neurotransmitter synthesis, helping to support these essential repairprocesses overnight. They also help encourage sleep onset and a restful night – something that can be hard to obtain as we age.I’ve been taking Lumity for months and recommend to all of my clients who are looking for comprehensive nutritional support as they age and move through different life stages.It also comes in handy recyclable pouches so you can take Lumity with you wherever you go.
