About you What does a typical Antiaging Nutrition customer look like? Let’s find out.
Fear Of Aging Begins Sooner Than You Think The majority of our respondents (28.57%) were aged 26-35, with 23.81% aged 56-65. Interestingly, these ages represent two pinnacle moments in our life. Our late twenties/early thirties are when we begin to let go of many of the youthful trends and attitudes attached to our teens; and it is usually after 40, into our late fifties, when our age starts to begin affecting our health. It’s worth noting, we also had three respondents aged 16-25 and one over 76, which goes to show that it’s never too early, or late to begin thinking about antiaging medicine.
In term of the sexes, both genders were fairly evenly represented, with 47.62% of the respondents being male, and 42.86% female. A small percentage of participants preferred not to say, which we have respected in these results.

Buying Vitamins How much do people spend on their health, and how often?
Even The Smallest Of Investments Can Make A Big Difference To Our Health Surprisingly, the majority of participants spend very little on vitamins and supplements each month. 42.11% spend an average of less than £20, including all participants aged 16-25. Whilst this seems like a relatively small amount to be spending on your health, even the smallest of investments can be incredibly beneficial. In comparison, 21.05% of people surveyed said they spent an average of £101-£200 on purchasing vitamins and supplements per month, and just 10.53% spent £201-£301.
When asked how often they shopped at Antiaging Nutrition, 26.32% of people answered that they only purchased products at our store once every few months. The survey also revealed that almost 50% of those questioned were yet to shop at Antiaging Nutrition. With this in mind, many shoppers may be able to benefit from the brilliant savings and offers found in our store.

Alternative Medicines How do people feel about modern-day medicine? Is there a taboo around natural remedies?
People Do Not Trust Modern Medicine As is made clear by the below graph, the majority of people questioned would openly consider using natural and nutritional remedies instead of readily available drugs.
When questioned as to why this was, respondents gave a wide variety of answers, although further analysis has allowed us to identify an inherent mistrust of modern medicine. We’ve selected some of the answers below:
“80% of the world's population uses "natural" (plant based) medicines. A number of 'new', often 'chemical' or 'synthetic' 'mainstream' drugs have a number of harmful side-effects.”
“Because I don't want to apply chemicals on my face, instead of natural products.”
“Modern medicine uses drugs and surgery to supress symptoms. They don't cure anything. Treatment is profitable, cure is not.”
Antiaging Nutrition
“I really don't trust mainstream medicine-period. Too many side effects and usually huge costs and the need for a prescription. [I’d] rather use natural - homeopathic products first and foremost.”
“I don't totally trust modern medicine.”
As you can see, many people questioned listed their willingness to try nutritional remedies due to the fact that they do not trust modern, mainstream medicine.
Does A Professional Name Inspire Trust? Having uncovered the above theme of mistrust for mainstream drugs, we decided to ask whether those questioned would trust the products more if they had a recognisable name recommending them for use.
As you can see, this statement received fairly mixed reactions. Although the majority are steered towards agreement that a product endorsed by a doctor is more trustworthy than one that is not, there are still a considerable number that disagree.
Antiaging Nutrition
When filtered down by gender, we found that women are more likely to trust doctor endorsed products than men. 42.86% of the women questioned agreed with the statement, whereas only 11.11% of men agreed, with 33.33% strongly disagreeing. Despite the stark contrast, both sexes seem almost equally matched when it comes to preferring alternative, natural medicine over common drugs. 57.14% of females and 55.56% of males would consider using natural remedies. Age is also a powerful divider, with 40% of 26-35 year olds strongly disagreeing that endorsement increases a product’s validity, whilst 50% of 56-65 year olds strongly agreeing with the statement. However, a high percentage of both age groups agreed that yes, they would consider alternative, natural medicines. Responses Age 25-35:

From the above information, we can ascertain that there is a wide market for natural and nutritional medicines, with people of all ages willing to try an alternative cure. There’s also a severe lack of trust in mainstream, man-made drugs. This could be due to a lack of transparency during their creation process (“I don't want to apply chemicals on my face”), or it could be due to possible side effects (“Too many side effects and usually huge costs”). There are a huge number of factors behind this, although in any instance it appears that, most surprisingly, utilising endorsement will have only a minimal positive effect on the conviction in your product.

Maintaining A Healthy Lifestyle How much importance do people place on living healthily? What’s more important to you, dieting or exercise?
We Focus On Fruit And Veg For Good Health We asked our participants to rank on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being highly important and 1 being not important at all, how important they felt each of the following activities were when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We were happy to see that the majority of people consider exercise and a healthy diet to be highly important. We were also pleased with the importance people place on getting their five-a-day, a practice that should be common in any healthy lifestyle. Whilst the majority were not sure about the importance of a social life, 35.28% of respondents realised the importance that close relationships can have on both our physical and mental wellbeing.

The Importance Of Proper Skincare Whilst on the surface, skincare may not seem like an integral component of living a healthy lifestyle, those dedicated to longevity know that caring for your exterior is almost as important as looking after your interior. Harmful rays from the sun can cause a variety of irritations and illnesses, including, but not limited to, sun spots, blemishes and in the worst case scenario, skin cancer. For more advice on how to caring for your skin all year round, please read our informative post on how to protect your skin from the sun.

People Prefer To Exercise Outside When it comes to keeping fit, our correspondents appear to exercise more regularly at the gym than they do at home. 29.41% of respondents said they visited the gym weekly, whilst only 11.76% exercised at home every week. The majority (41.18%) said they exercised in their own homes once or twice a month. However, when asked where they would prefer to exercise, there was a clear tie between exercising at the gym and outdoors, with 35.29% voting either way.
With this information to hand, we can help tailor the information we release to better suit your lifestyle.

Your Health The below data was collected to reveal whether people are worried about certain illnesses more than others.
Cause For Concern When questioned as to how concerned people were about certain illnesses, our respondents revealed that cancer, heart disease and arthritis are the three major worries. 41.18% said they were very concerned about cancer and heart disease. On the other hand, hair loss and pancreatic disease came incredibly low in our results, with 47.06% saying they were not at all concerned about pancreatic disease, and 35.29% not being concerned at all about hair loss. The results are actually not that surprising when filtered by age, with 60% of respondents aged 56-65 stating they were very concerned about arthritis, a disease typically linked with age. In contrast 50% of 25-35 year olds said they had no opinion on arthritis, although 50% are concerned about cancer.
Prevention Is Better Than Cure Posed with the above statement, the majority of people questioned agreed that, prevention is indeed better than the cure when it comes to most illnesses.
This further validates the marketing of our natural healthcare products, which are generally advertised as helping to prevent the effects of aging and related illnesses, rather than curing them.
Antiaging Nutrition
Conclusion In summary, this survey has helped us determine that fear of aging does indeed begin sooner than most would assume, with some people looking into longevity techniques as early as their late twenties. We can also summarise that whilst the majority of people may not spend hundreds on vitamins and natural supplements each month, there is an underlying mistrust for modern medicine. Reasons for this include:
Unknown ingredients High costs Unknown side effects The need for a prescription
This mistrust runs so deep that even products backed by a trusted name are not considered to be more reliable. That being said, our findings suggest that women are more likely to trust doctor endorsed products than men, as are the older generation. Considering both sexes agreed that they’d be willing to try alternative medicines, it’s reassuring to see a viable and growing market for nutritional and natural remedies. It’s also positive to note that many of our users understand the importance of regular exercise and the significance of a daily intake of fruit and veg. Much of the information we release on our blog is situated around living healthily. By understanding the illnesses our respondents are most concerned about, including arthritis and cancer, we can better tailor our content to deliver highly relevant information to our users.
