Our founding team, [Duri Granziol (CEO)](https://avea-life.com/pages/our-team-duri-granziol), [Sophie Chabloz (CSO)](https://avea-life.com/pages/our-team-sophie-chabloz), [Teresa Budetta (CMO)](https://avea-life.com/pages/our-team-teresa-budetta), and [Pascal Rode (COO)](https://avea-life.com/pages/our-team-pascal-rode), came together around a shared commitment: to enable everyday people to access clean, high quality supplements with transparent ingredients based on the latest scientific insights in rapidly growing field of longevity.  Working with an interdisciplinary team of scientists and researchers from institutions like ETH Zürich, we launched our first product, [AVEA® NMN](https://avea-life.com/products/nmn) and [Booster](https://avea-life.com/products/booster) combined together into the innovative [AVEA® Vitality Bundle](https://avea-life.com/products/bundle) in 2022. As of 2025, AVEA® has grown its product range to 11 supplements supporting cellular health ( [AVEA NMN](https://avea-life.com/products/nmn) and [AVEA Vitality Bundle](https://avea-life.com/products/bundle)), skin ( [Collagen Activator](https://avea-life.com/products/collagen-activator) and [SkinSpan™](https://avea-life.com/products/skinspan)), sleep ( [Sereniser](https://avea-life.com/products/sereniser)), joints ( [Mobiliser](https://avea-life.com/products/mobiliser)), metabolism ( [Stabiliser](https://avea-life.com/products/stabiliser-d)) and Gut Health ( [Biomind](https://avea-life.com/products/biomind)).  AVEA® takes great care in selecting only high quality ingredients from reputable sources and in a rare move for the supplement industry transparently publishes the supplier of each ingredient used on its website. All supplements are also double tested for purity and against contamination in an independent 3d party lab in Switzerland. Most of the AVEA® supplements are also listed on the [Cologne List®](https://www.koelnerliste.com/en/product-database), an independent quality seal relied on by professional athletes that is awarded for companies that voluntarily comply with its high quality management standards and tests for substances considered as doping. AVEA® products use unique ingredients and delivery mechanisms. For example the [AVEA® Collagen Activator](https://avea-life.com/products/collagen-activator) is built around Colgevity™, a unique amino acid blend that was developed in cooperation with ETH Zurich and patented by AVEA® in 2025. Colgevity™ is a patented vegan collagen precursor which effectively boosts collagen production, with studies showing 4x more effective as compared to conventional collagen supplements. Today, AVEA® is trusted by over 50,000 customers and holds a [4.8/5 rating](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/avea-life.com) on independent verified review platform [Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/avea-life.com).
