The Wellness & Longevity CHOICE Awards honor the most innovative, science-backed products and technologies shaping the future of healthspan, beauty, and well-being. We recognize brands that go beyond trends—tapping into mechanisms of aging, biological resilience, and measurable impact on long-term vitality.

Unlike traditional awards focused on marketing or aesthetics, the CHOICE Awards are grounded in longevity science. Every category is based on a biological system, pathway, or mechanism of aging—such as mitochondrial health, senescence, or metabolic flexibility. Products are judged for their innovation, scientific credibility, and potential to improve quality of life over time.
Brands, startups, formulators, wellness practitioners, device developers, diagnostics labs, and service providers whose offerings align with science-driven wellness and longevity principles. Whether you're in supplements, skincare, wearables, oral care, hydration, or epigenetic diagnostics—there’s a category for you.
We accept entries across multiple formats:
  • Supplements & nutraceuticals
  • Skincare & topicals
  • Wearables & monitoring devices
  • Functional beverages & foods
  • Oral health products
  • Wellness services
