A question we frequently receive is about the latest biohacking trends. We have explored 10 popular trends for 2024. However, it’s important to note that biohacking has become such a broad field that it’s nearly impossible to cover everything. But we’ll give it a try!

1. Science-Driven Research and Evidence-Based Practices
   Mindbody and ClassPass’s annual report highlights a shift in 2024, where consumers move from falling for misinformation to prioritizing science-based, performance-oriented products and services. According to the report, consumers are increasingly relying on clinical studies and research for their wellness decisions and becoming more discerning about the substances they consume and the sources they trust for guidance.

2. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD)
   Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is surprisingly not yet mainstream. However, its popularity is growing, and it may take at least another year before it becomes widely recognized. Early adopters are strong advocates for NAD’s potential in cellular health and healthy aging. NAD is essential in the body, acting as a coenzyme involved in over 500 cellular functions, such as energy production and DNA repair. Our longevity flagship product, Bevivo Elevate, contains the NAD precursor NR—learn more about it here.

3. Gut Health
   Gut health has become a significant health trend because a well-balanced and healthy gut supports not only efficient digestion but also overall well-being, including immune function. Supplements targeting gut health and increased focus on gut-friendly diets are trending.

4. Cold Plunges and Cryotherapy
   Cold plunges in all their forms, as well as cryotherapy, are set to continue rising in popularity. In Norway, cold plunges have become a health trend, offering a sense of accomplishment and well-being. Cold plunges are said to reduce inflammation, speed up muscle recovery, strengthen the immune system, and be generally beneficial for the body.

5. Heat Therapies and Red Light Therapy
   Heat treatments, such as hot saunas and red light saunas, are becoming increasingly popular. They offer not only a relaxing experience but also promote cardiovascular health, aid in detoxification and weight loss, and relieve muscle tension.

6. Biomarker Testing
   Expect increased awareness and use of biomarker tests in our society, as they provide personalized insights into individual health profiles and enable proactive wellness by assessing specific indicators that go beyond traditional diagnostics. Bevivo Age is an epigenetic home test that measures your biological age.

7. Wearable Health Tech
   Devices like sleep trackers, glucose monitors, step counters, and smartwatches will soon be joined by more advanced tools. Traditional gadgets will continue to evolve with expanded capabilities. We can expect a rise in the popularity of more at-home wearable brain-optimization gadgets, as AI research and concepts like "large language models" drive new technology and products that are not yet fully known.

8. Wellness Retreats
   The growing popularity of wellness retreats, with niche focuses on specific health trends, is increasing. Biohacking enthusiasts likely already know what these are. Many are now seeking "refreshing experiences" that combine enjoyment with self-care, mindfulness activities, and healthy lifestyle choices, often in picturesque locations.

9. Red Light Therapy
   Red light therapy is becoming more popular due to its effectiveness in promoting cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and improving skin health. As the range of light colors used expands, so does our understanding of its benefits. There are now many such products available for home use.

10. Inflammation
    As one of the top five health issues affecting millions, there are exciting advancements in addressing inflammation and pain. New sound-based devices like StemWave are being developed to activate stem cells in the body and reduce pain. Psychedelics such as ketamine and psilocybin are also being explored for pain management.

Expect to see more potent turmeric-based supplements combined with other anti-inflammatory nutrients. As our understanding of inflammation’s role in disease grows, so does our effort to combat it. For example, NAD optimization has been shown to significantly reduce inflammation.
