Boomers Forever Young, a Florida-based supplier of exceptional nutritional supplements for older adults, has won the 2023 Award for Best Nutritional Supplement Products for Seniors from Smart Drugs and Supplements, a digital publication. This entrepreneurial enterprise is notable among its peers for its uniquely comprehensive focus on the special nutritional and supplement needs of the Baby Boomer generation—seniors who, now more than ever, are living longer and more active lives.
Specially tailored to the particular needs of older consumers, Boomers Forever Young offers a complete nutrition program designed to help those over 40 improve their health, lose weight, and support healthy aging. By using an exclusive selection of special ingredients, the Boomers Forever Young health regimen provides the best nutritional supplements for seniors, yielding results far superior to random supplemental vitamin intake.
Boomers Forever Young: Creating the Best Nutritional Supplements for Seniors is an original (SmartDrugs&Supplements) article.
With 70 specialty nutrients, including macro and micronutrients, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids, the company’s flagship product, Boomer Boost, provides an all-in-one foundation for complete nutrition far beyond a regular multivitamin.
In addition, Boomers Forever Young offers Heirloom Barley and Gladiator Barley, sprouted barley seed powders that aid in the absorption of vital nutrients, providing energy and heart health support, along with powerful antioxidants that reduce inflammation.
The elderly nutrition market size was valued at USD $17.42 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD $30.62 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 6.5%. The expected increase in the elderly population will be a primary driver of market growth, especially in developed countries such as the United States, where the number of people aged 60 years and above is expected to double by 2060. Baby Boomers, now in their early 60s to mid-70s, account for nearly 72 million older adults in the U.S.
According to data from World Population Prospects, the number of people aged 60 years and above worldwide is expected to rise by 56% to 1.4 billion by 2030. By 2050, the global aged population is expected to double, reaching nearly 2.1 billion. This is also anticipated to aid the growth of the market for the best nutritional supplements for seniors in the coming years.
Older adults face a unique set of nutritional challenges. As the body ages, it becomes more difficult to digest, absorb, and metabolize nutrients. Malabsorption of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins is often found in the elderly. Furthermore, older adults are more prone to many chronic diseases due to inadequate dietary intake of nutrients.
Studies have also estimated that 20% of elderly people have atrophic gastritis, a condition in which chronic inflammation has damaged the cells that produce stomach acid. Low stomach acid can affect the absorption of nutrients such as vitamin B12, calcium, iron, and magnesium.
Boomers Forever Young co-founder and president Bob Gilpatrick says these digestive challenges create a need for stronger nutrition products for Baby Boomers. As a holistic health and nutrition therapist, he says it has been personally frustrating over the years to see so many seniors in poor health despite taking numerous vitamin supplements and prescription medications. That’s why, with the help of nutraceutical scientists and innovators, he began designing his own nutrition system more than a dozen years ago.
It was also around that time that Gilpatrick first met company co-founder Larry Daudelin. At that point, Daudelin was overweight and “65 years old going on 85 years old,” with multiple medical issues requiring numerous medications. Looking for ways to improve his new friend’s rapidly declining health, Gilpatrick introduced Daudelin to the best nutritional supplements for seniors—a personal health plan that replaced Daudelin’s random assortment of vitamin supplements with Gilpatrick’s foundational approach to nutrition.
Soon, Daudelin lost fifty pounds of excess weight and experienced a profound increase in energy and strength. As doctors witnessed dramatic improvements in his health, they helped Daudelin to eliminate his prescription medications.
It was then that the two teamed up to create Boomers Forever Young, a system of health supplements for men and women over 40. Working with doctors and nutrition scientists, they spent more than a year creating a comprehensive nutrition program.
According to Gilpatrick, barley seed powder is especially effective in helping customers take in nutrients, increasing absorption rates from 15% to 95%.
“As our first clients started to take Boomer Boost and Heirloom Barley together, we realized that the combination of these two products was even more dramatic than we had hoped. Now, for the first time in history, by combining Gladiator Barley and Boomer Boost together, people can get all of the nutrition they need at an affordable price.”
Gladiator Barley is made from an ancient seed line of barley grown in northern Canada by a soil scientist who has patented a new organic fertilizer that produces much bigger and denser seeds. The barley seeds are harvested, sprouted, and then ground into a fine powder using an old-fashioned mill. This product is exclusively distributed by Boomers Forever Young as Gladiator Barley.
Gilpatrick says the last two growing seasons have seen the plants express an aspect of their genome that’s been dormant for thousands of years “to the point where there is a new type of barley seed that no one has ever seen before.”
The new seeds contain unprecedented amounts of an enzyme called superoxide dismutase (SOD), which Gilpatrick calls “the holy grail of anti-aging.”
A powerful antioxidant, SOD is often taken for its ability to fight free radical cell damage associated with stroke and arthritis. SOD deficiency contributes to several neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke. SOD benefits include reducing inflammation, fighting cancer, and relieving arthritis pain.
Even though Boomers Forever Young is designed to offer the best nutritional supplements for seniors, Gilpatrick says the nutrition system is well-suited for younger customers as well.
“We find younger and younger people are having the problems that used to be adult-onset diseases—issues that people in their 60s would begin to experience. Nowadays, we see that happening to people in their 20s and 30s, so what we have to offer fits them as well.”
Because the stress of modern living can have a profound effect on overall health, Boomers Forever Young positions itself as a complete resource for addressing the psychological aspects of nutrition as well.
“People can be the most well-nourished in the world, but if they’re under a lot of stress, they’re still probably going to be sick.”
That’s why offering the best nutritional supplements for seniors also includes providing complete, personalized support, including online access to techniques for stress reduction, emotional freedom, and inner balance via podcasts, YouTube videos, blog posts, newsletters, and even free customized assistance in discussing personal health issues.
“We’re prolific in teaching people what state of the art is in the world of nutrition, and people can get all that support for free from our company.
“We’re more than a nutrition company,” Gilpatrick says. “We help people with the totality of their body, mind, and spirit, and we’re there for them as a free service to help guide them on their path to becoming the highest possible version of themselves.”
A complete line of 22 products by Boomers Forever Young is distributed directly to consumers online and on a wholesale basis.
