From ingestible beauty and anti-inflammatory eats to the connection between glucose and ageing, we explore the latest and greatest in wellbeing...
INNER GLOW
Ingestible beauty supplements have moved beyond collagen powders to incorporate a range of potent antioxidants, adaptogens, and vitamins that support skin, hair, and nails from the inside out. The latest advancements in this field focus on gut health, as science increasingly shows that a healthy microbiome is foundational to glowing skin. Probiotic blends designed to support gut balance, paired with vitamins C and E, hyaluronic acid, and plant-based ceramides, are expected to dominate this trend in 2025, offering not just external radiance, but overall vitality.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EATS
With chronic inflammation linked to a range of health issues - from arthritis to autoimmune diseases - 2025 will continue to see anti-inflammatory diets grow in popularity. Beyond the familiar Mediterranean diet, cutting-edge research is pointing to specific anti-inflammatory foods and food combinations that can help regulate the body’s immune response. Think turmeric-packed ‘golden milks’ boosted with ginger, blueberries, and green tea infusions rich in EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). The focus will also expand to personalised anti-inflammatory protocols based on genetic markers and microbiome diversity, ensuring each individual's unique needs are met.
GLUCOSE, GLYCATION & AGEING
In the fight against ageing, managing blood glucose levels has become a top priority. High glucose can lead to a process called glycation, where sugar molecules bind to proteins and lipids in the body, leading to the breakdown of collagen and elastin - key proteins that keep skin youthful. As more people become aware of this link, we’ll see a rise in supplements and food products designed to keep blood sugar stable, such as berberine, chromium, and cinnamon extracts. Expect glucose-monitoring devices to transition from the diabetic community to the general public, with biohackers tracking their levels to maximise skin health and slow ageing.
INFLAMMATION & HEART HEALTH
Inflammation is at the heart of many cardiovascular conditions, and with heart disease still a leading cause of death globally, the 2025 wellness landscape will continue focusing on reducing systemic inflammation to protect heart health. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as wild-caught salmon, flaxseeds, and algae-based supplements, will remain key players. However, new research on polyphenols - like those found in dark chocolate and green tea - shows promise in their ability to combat oxidative stress and improve arterial flexibility, thereby reducing the risk of heart-related issues. Expect heart health supplements to offer more specialised anti-inflammatory formulas that not only promote longevity but help you feel more energised and resilient.
THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
The mitochondria, often called the powerhouse of the cell, are critical to both energy production and longevity. As we age, mitochondrial function declines, leading to decreased energy levels and impaired cellular repair. The latest trend in biohacking for 2025 focuses on supporting mitochondrial health through targeted nutrients like CoQ10, PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone), and NAD+ precursors. These supplements, combined with lifestyle changes like intermittent fasting and cold exposure, are designed to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis, the process of creating new mitochondria, resulting in improved energy levels, sharper cognitive function, and potentially even an extended lifespan.
CLEAN FITNESS FUEL
Fitness enthusiasts are now demanding more from their supplements - purity, transparency, and efficacy without the synthetic additives that dominated the market in previous years. In 2025, the trend of clean fitness supplementation will take off, with products that are plant-based, free from artificial sweeteners, and packed with functional ingredients that not only enhance performance but aid in recovery. Key players include adaptogenic mushrooms like cordyceps for stamina, beetroot for nitric oxide production, and tart cherry for reducing muscle soreness. These products are expected to be formulated with sustainability in mind, incorporating organic and regenerative agriculture practices.
BIOPHILIC DESIGN
Biophilic design - the practice of incorporating natural elements into architecture and interiors - is gaining traction in spaces as a way to promote mental and physical health. In 2025, we can expect homes, offices, and gyms to feature indoor gardens, natural lighting, and air-purifying plants that connect inhabitants to nature. Studies have shown that being in nature reduces stress and inflammation, and now we can bring those benefits indoors. From moss walls in meditation rooms to water features in spa bathrooms, biophilic design is set to become a must-have for anyone looking to cultivate a calming and health-enhancing environment.
HORMONE-SUPPORTIVE SUPER FOODS
Hormonal balance is becoming an increasingly important focus in the wellness world, especially for women. In 2025, hormone-supportive superfoods are set to become a significant trend, with foods like maca root, ashwagandha, and flaxseeds taking centre stage. These adaptogenic and phytoestrogenic foods help regulate hormone production, alleviate symptoms of PMS and menopause, and boost fertility. Expect to see these ingredients incorporated into everyday foods - think hormone-balancing smoothies, snack bars, and even hormone-supportive meal kits designed to keep your endocrine system in optimal balance.
