The Longevity Consumer Is Already Spending: How Brands Win Them with Fiber, Spermidine, and Complete Protein in One Ingredient

04 Jun 2026
NPD Discovery Roundtables
  • The longevity market is one of the fastest-growing segments in health and wellness, driven by consumers actively managing how they achieve healthier years – not just how they perform.
  • Yet most brands are still reaching for the same playbook: single-function proteins, isolated fiber additions, and trend-driven bioactive claims that are difficult to substantiate and easy to copy.
  • This roundtable challenges that approach – exploring how a novel category of ingredient, mycelium derived from biomass fermentation, delivers. complete protein, prebiotic fiber, and meaningful levels of spermidine in one.
  • Spermidine is one of the emergent longevity-associated bioactives in nutritional research.
  • We will discuss, through the science and functional benefits, how mycelium is giving brands a genuinely differentiated portfolio position.
