Healthy aging isn’t just about major milestones, it’s about how well your body continues to support you in the small, everyday ways.

Proanthocyanins (PACs) are plant-based compounds that help your body manage oxidative stress, which plays a key role in how we age over time. The benefits of PACs go beyond general wellness.

In cranberry-derived forms, PACs help support bladder health by reducing the ability of certain bacteria to stick to the urinary tract, which is an important factor for those who experience recurring UTIs. By working with your body’s natural processes, ingredients like PACs help promote resilience, comfort, and long-term health in a way that fits into everyday life.

Ingredient Spotlight: Glutathione

Glutathione is one of those behind-the-scenes nutrients that doesn’t get enough attention, yet it plays a central role in how well your body handles stress, recovers, and ages over time.

Often referred to as the body’s “master antioxidant,” it’s deeply involved in protecting your cells, supporting detoxification, and helping other antioxidants do their jobs more effectively. Like many things tied to resilience and longevity, however, levels can decline with age, stress, and environmental exposure.

If you’re thinking about long-term health (not just how you feel today), but how you function years from now, it’s an ingredient worth understanding.

We’ve broken it down in more detail on our blog, including insights from our Co-Founder & Chief Technical Officer, Matthew Allain. If you’re curious about how glutathione works in the body and why it’s such a key focus in healthy aging, it’s a great place to start.

Introducing our Ingredient Spotlight!

This week we are highlighting the benefits of Lutein.

Modern lifestyles mean our eyes face more strain than ever from screens, environmental light, and aging. Nutrients like lutein help support the eye's natural defense system and contribute to long-term visual performance.

One of the most studied nutrients for eye health, lutein is part of a group of carotenoids known as macular pigments, compounds that help protect the retina from everyday light exposure and oxidative stress.

Consistent intake of lutein through diet or supplementation is key to maintaining healthy levels.

Over the past 12 weeks, we’ve had the pleasure of working with our incredible marketing intern as part of her very first work term.

Joining a startup is never simple, and she jumped right in during a busy and exciting time for us. From helping us with a rebrand to supporting our preparations for CHFA NOW Vancouver, she brought energy, creativity, and a strong drive to learn and contribute.

She played a key role in helping us develop our marketing plan and begin building a stronger presence on social media, something that will continue to shape how we grow moving forward.

Beyond her work, she was simply great to have on the team: self-motivated, thoughtful, collaborative, and always willing to jump in where needed. For a first work term, she set the bar incredibly high.

We feel very lucky to have had her with us and are excited to see where her career takes her next. Thank you for all the hard work, positivity, fresh ideas (and cookies!) you brought to the team. You’ll always have a place cheering you on here.

Living longer doesn’t always mean living healthier. Many people spend the last years of life managing illness instead of enjoying the life they’ve built.

The goal isn’t just lifespan, it’s healthspan: the number of years we stay active, independent, and well.

Closing that gap comes down to the everyday choices we make. Movement. Nourishing food. Meaningful connections. And the right natural support for our individual and unique bodies.

Our focus is on education, awareness, and empowering people with the knowledge to age well.

Because healthy aging doesn’t start later in life.
It starts with the choices we make today.

Living longer doesn’t always mean living healthier.

Lifespan is the number of years you live, while healthspan is the number of years you're healthy.

Healthspan involves cognitive function, physical mobility, emotional resilience, and a sense of purpose and social connection. Good sleep, proper nutrition, and staying physically and mentally active all play an important role in maintaining health as we age, but lifestyle alone isn’t the full picture.

At Yew, our mission is to help extend the healthspan of an aging population through natural, science-backed nutraceuticals designed to support healthy aging.
Because the goal isn’t just to live longer – it’s to live healthier.
