Vitafoods Europe 2026: SIRIO Europe launches Aeion™: a science-led, habit-first longevity platform

14 April 2026, Pritzwalk, Germany – SIRIO Europe, a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announces the launch of Aeion™, its new habit-first longevity platform, to be unveiled at Vitafoods Europe (stand #3G40). Designed around the idea that long-term healthy ageing is formed through simple, repeatable daily rituals, Aeion™ moves beyond single-format solutions to help consumers build habits they can truly sustain. Developed in collaboration with the SIRIO Institute of Aging, renowned longevity researchers and leading ingredient partners, Aeion™ comprises eight ready-to-launch concepts grounded in the latest nutritional science.

The portfolio spans a wide range of modern delivery formats – including gummies, softgels, direct-to-mouth powders, next-generation Fizzybit™ tablets, and LifeChews™ jelly tablets – several of which will premiere for the first time at Vitafoods. With this launch, SIRIO aims to enable brands to rapidly bring premium, consumer-centric longevity supplements to market addressing key health concerns like energy, inflammaging, mobility, heart health and more.

Snowmelt™: SIRIO’s new instant-dissolve DTM delivery format

The first innovation within the new platform, Aeion NAD+ Energy, features SIRIO’s latest delivery format, Snowmelt™. This instant dissolve powder pushes direct-to-mouth (DTM) supplements to a new level thanks to their immediate dissolution on the tongue. With fast, easy consumption – no water required – Snowmelt™ turns daily nutritional support into a light, repeatable ritual. Aeion™ NAD+ Energy pairs nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) with L-ergothioneine and vitamin C to support mitochondrial function and oxidative resilience for cellular health in a fast, portable format consumers can take any time. Vitafoods visitors will be able to discover Snowmelt™ in a pioneering immersive room at the SIRIO booth.

Tackling inflammaging

An expanding area of scientific focus in the longevity space is inflammaging, and the antioxidative role in this ageing process of quercetin, a plant flavonol. Quercetin occurs naturally in fruit and vegetables, but many western consumers still eat only limited quantities of these, meaning average intakes are relatively low 52mg/day in Europe. Aeion™ Quercetin delivers a powerful 250mg of quercetin and 125mg of vitamin C (which boosts quercetin absorption) in a sugar-free, pectin-based gummy. Critically, this concept is vegan and features a clean label, with a pleasant texture, natural yellow color and zesty lemon flavor – giving it all the features discerning consumers now prioritize.

Smoothing the move to healthy longevity

Also among the eight concepts to be unveiled in Barcelona is Aeion™ Active softgel, designed specifically to support long-term mobility. Research shows this a growing – and valid – concern for many consumers. For example, the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) has found that 30-40% of over 65s find it difficult to walk 100 meters. Aeion™ Active leverages the emerging and powerful science demonstrating the contribution of N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) to joint and bone comfort. It delivers 500 mg of NAG, boosted by 1,400mg of concentrated fish oil (DHA and EPA) and various vitamins and minerals, in two convenient softgels per day.

Further concepts to be discovered support health areas like heart health, metabolism, skin health, mental energy and more.

Built for adherence and speed to market
“The launch of Aeion™ enables brands to tap in quickly to the longevity boom,” said Alex Dens, Sales Director, SIRIO Europe. “A huge amount of really exciting science is emerging into healthy aging, but that can feel quite overwhelming or intimidating. It’s not always clear for brands how they can navigate all the evidence and translate it into products and messages that consumers will understand, believe and adopt. Aeion™ was built specifically for that purpose – making it quicker and easier to commercialize effective supplements that address the needs of health-conscious individuals who want simple, effective solutions that fit effortlessly into their routines. It’s about helping people build long-term habits for long-term benefits, because we know they favor practical, enjoyable rituals over perfection.”
