Artificial intelligence (AI) seems galaxies away from the world of dietary supplement manufacturing. The idea that computer systems, by simulating human intelligence, can play a role in creating dietary supplement made from herbs, vitamins, and other ingredients seems far-fetched. Yet, according to one prominent supplement company, Life Extension, AI will be the future of dietary supplement creation, helping companies not only formulate products and bring them to market more quickly, but also helping them determine which ingredients to study and how to study them.

Nutritional Outlook spoke with Michael Smith, MD, Life Extension’s senior scientist, about how Life Extension is already using AI in its dietary supplements business. The company’s mission is to develop longevity products to help consumers live longer, healthier lives. In the following slides, Smith discusses how supplement makers can harness the power of AI.
