    Why age 30 changed everything

    Cardiovascular risk is now assessed from age 30, because the biology starts much earlier than the diagnosis.

    In 2026, updated ACC/AHA guidance recommends estimating both 10-year and 30-year cardiovascular risk beginning at age 30. The shift reflects a simple reality of the science: cardiovascular disease develops over decades, and long-term risk becomes meaningful long before it becomes visible.

    20sSilent groundwork

    Arterial changes can begin decades before anything is detectable in ordinary bloodwork or felt as a symptom.

    30The new starting line

    2026 ACC/AHA guidance recommends estimating both 10-year and 30-year cardiovascular risk starting at age 30.

    40s–50sWhere most people start

    Conventional attention often begins only once risk markers move, years after vascular changes have accumulated.

    This section describes published clinical-guideline recommendations for risk estimation. It is general educational information, not medical advice, and NOVOS Core is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent cardiovascular disease. Talk with a qualified healthcare professional about your own cardiovascular risk.

    Illustration of the body's circulatory network rendered as fine branching vessels

    Invisible infrastructure

    Circulation isn't a heart story. It's a whole-body story.

    Roughly 60,000 miles of blood vessels reach nearly every cell you have. When researchers study vascular function, they're studying the delivery system that supports how the rest of the body performs.

    Cognitive function

    The brain is one of the most perfusion-dependent organs in the body, relying on steady cerebral blood flow.

    Physical performance

    Working muscle depends on how effectively vessels dilate to deliver oxygen and nutrients on demand.

    Energy & stamina

    Cellular energy production requires reliable oxygen delivery through the smallest capillaries.

    Skin quality

    Dermal microcirculation supports nutrient delivery to skin tissue and normal skin function.

    Eye health

    Retinal tissue is served by an exceptionally fine vascular network sensitive to blood-flow changes.

    Kidney function

    Filtration depends on vascular flow, the kidneys receive a substantial share of cardiac output.

    These descriptions explain the physiological role of circulation in the body. They are not claims that NOVOS Core treats, prevents, or improves any specific organ condition.

    What the researchers measured

    Three established measures of vascular function.

    Rather than relying on self-reported feelings, the trial used objective vascular biomarkers routinely used in cardiovascular research.

    Flow-mediated dilation

    Endothelial Function

    How well an artery widens when blood flow increases, a non-invasive measure of endothelial function.

    The endothelium is the single-cell lining that governs how vessels relax, dilate, and respond to demand.

    +2.9pts

    placebo-adjusted difference at 6 months

    Pulse Wave Velocity

    Vascular Flexibility

    The speed at which a pressure wave travels along the arteries. Stiffer arteries transmit it faster.

    Arterial flexibility is one of the most studied structural properties of the vascular system.

    −1.18m/s

    placebo-adjusted difference at 6 months

    Systolic blood pressure

    Blood Pressure

    The pressure inside arteries when the heart contracts, measured here entirely within the normal range.

    Blood pressure within a healthy range is part of normal cardiovascular function.

    −6.1mmHg

    placebo-adjusted difference at 6 months

    *Participants began and remained within the normal blood-pressure range. Trial did not assess cardiovascular events or disease prevention. Manuscript currently under peer review.

    These are biomarkers of vascular function. Biomarker changes are not the same as reduced disease risk, and the trial did not evaluate heart attacks, strokes, cardiovascular mortality, or disease incidence.

    The clinical study

    An independent, university-run randomized controlled trial.

    The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Surrey and led by Professor Christian Heiss, a vascular medicine researcher and one of the field's most-published authors on flow-mediated dilation methodology.

    Statement refers to study methodology. It is not a claim that NOVOS Core treats or prevents disease.

    Primary measure

    Flow-mediated dilation over six months

    FMD was measured at baseline, one hour after a single dose, and again after six months of daily use in a fasted state. Bars show 95% confidence intervals.

    Data from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled University of Surrey trial of NOVOS Core in generally healthy adults aged 40+ (SSRN preprint, manuscript under peer review). FMD is a biomarker of endothelial function; a change in FMD is not a measure of disease risk, and the study did not evaluate cardiovascular events. These values do not indicate that vascular age was reversed by any specific number of years.

    Context, not competition

    How the reported effect sizes compare in published literature

    Reported improvements in flow-mediated dilation across separate published studies. These are independent studies in different populations, read them as context for scale, not as a ranking.

    These values come from separately published studies and are not head-to-head comparisons. Populations, baseline health, intervention durations, study designs, and measurement methods differ. The chart contextualizes reported effect sizes and does not establish that NOVOS Core is clinically superior to exercise, diet, or any other intervention.

    Exercise, dietary quality, smoking avoidance, healthy sleep, and appropriate medical management remain foundational components of cardiovascular health.

    An honest nuance

    Cholesterol is one lens. Actual vascular function is another.

    The trial did not find meaningful changes in lipid markers, even while FMD, PWV, and systolic blood pressure differed from placebo. We think that's worth highlighting.

    Lipid panels and vascular-function measures describe different aspects of cardiovascular biology. One reflects circulating cholesterol carriers; the other reflects how arteries physically respond and behave. They are complementary views, and neither replaces the other. FMD, PWV, and blood pressure measure the actual organ function, whereas molecules like LDL are associated with damage over the long term at high exposure.

    NOVOS Core is not a lipid-lowering product and should not be used in place of cholesterol management prescribed by a healthcare professional.

    Why a formulation, not an ingredient

    Aging isn't one pathway, so Core doesn't target one.

    NOVOS Core combines 12 ingredients selected to address multiple biological pathways associated with aging. What was tested clinically was the complete formulation, not any single component in isolation.

    Endothelial & vessel signaling

    Ingredients with research related to nitric-oxide signaling and the normal processes involved in healthy vessel dilation and blood-flow regulation.

    Oxidative balance

    Polyphenols and antioxidant nutrients that help support normal cellular defenses against oxidative stress.

    Healthy aging pathways

    Ingredients researched in relation to cellular stress-response, metabolic, and other biological pathways involved in healthy aging.

    Protein & tissue integrity

    Ingredients researched for their roles in normal protein maintenance and biological processes relevant to healthy tissue structure over time.

    Mineral & electrolyte balance

    Minerals with established roles in normal muscle function, electrolyte balance, and healthy vascular tone, including magnesium.

    Connective-tissue support

    Nutrients involved in normal collagen formation and the maintenance of healthy connective tissue.

    These pathways reflect established nutrient functions and ingredient-level research used to inform the formulation. The NOVOS Core clinical trial evaluated the finished formula and did not determine which biological mechanism or individual ingredient was responsible for the observed vascular effects.

    Straight answers

    Questions worth asking

    Cardiovascular disease typically develops over decades. New 2026 ACC/AHA guidance now recommends estimating both 10- and 30-year cardiovascular risk beginning at age 30. Supporting cardiovascular health early is about maintaining healthy function and understanding long-term risk before disease becomes clinically obvious.

    No. NOVOS Core is a dietary supplement designed to support healthy aging and normal vascular function. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent cardiovascular disease, heart attack, stroke, hypertension, or any other disease.

    Yes. The complete finished NOVOS Core formulation was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial conducted by researchers at the University of Surrey in generally healthy adults aged 40+. The study evaluated vascular-function biomarkers including FMD, PWV, and systolic blood pressure.

    The manuscript is currently under peer review. The trial did not assess heart attacks, strokes, cardiovascular mortality, or disease prevention.

    Flow-mediated dilation measures how well an artery expands in response to increased blood flow. It is widely used in vascular research as a non-invasive measure of endothelial function. NOVOS Core showed a +2.9 percentage-point placebo-adjusted difference at six months.

    Pulse wave velocity measures the speed at which a pressure wave travels through the arteries. Stiffer arteries transmit the wave faster. NOVOS Core showed a −1.18 m/s placebo-adjusted difference at six months.

    Population data suggest PWV tends to worsen with age, but the NOVOS result should not be interpreted as proof that Core reversed a specific number of years of aging.

    The study observed a −6.1 mmHg placebo-adjusted difference in systolic blood pressure at six months. Importantly, participants began and remained within the normal blood-pressure range. NOVOS Core should not be presented as a treatment for hypertension.

    The study did not find meaningful lipid changes, despite differences in FMD, PWV, and systolic blood pressure versus placebo. Cholesterol-related biomarkers and vascular-function biomarkers measure different aspects of cardiovascular health and should be viewed as complementary.

    No. The clinical trial measured vascular-function biomarkers. It was not designed or powered to determine whether NOVOS Core reduces heart attacks, strokes, cardiovascular mortality, or cardiovascular-disease incidence.

    No. If your healthcare professional has prescribed medication, do not stop or replace it with NOVOS Core without discussing it with them. Dietary supplements do not replace medically indicated treatment.

    Evidence-based fundamentals include regular physical activity, a heart-healthy dietary pattern such as Mediterranean-style eating, healthy sleep, avoiding tobacco, maintaining metabolic health, knowing relevant cardiovascular risk markers, and following appropriate medical guidance. NOVOS Core should be viewed as an additional layer, not a replacement for these fundamentals.

    Six months of daily supplementation.

    Generally healthy adults aged 40 and older. The trial's findings should not be extrapolated as direct clinical proof in younger adults.
