01
We are biochemists focused on extending healthspan and lifespan.
Synchro was founded in 2011 in Berkeley, California by biochemist Graham Ryan, as a continuation of research in healthspan extension.
Our team of biochemists and advisors are constantly exploring new research that reveals innovative strategies to reduce the signs of aging and extend healthspan.
Then, importantly, we work to translate these insights into bioavailable formulas that don’t just work in the lab, but which you feel working in your everyday life.

We believe in the ecology of wellness.
We are focused on efficacy not just in the lab but in everyday life. Life at every level involves many moving parts all working together — life, in a sense, is systems interacting with other systems, nested within higher-order systems (nested within even higher-order systems…you get the point).
To truly ‘move the needle’ of healthspan and lifespan, it’s not enough to examine an issue only at the cellular level. Nor is it adequate to look solely at bigger systems like the organs, brain or muscles.
An integrated approach to healthspan has to consider all of these, and more. Our physical, social, and information environments also have a huge bearing on our wellbeing, and demand inclusion in any integrated approach.
So rather than solely extracting molecules based on properties observed in the lab, we look at how those molecules function within larger biological systems — that is, how plant extracts, minerals, and amino acids working together can create genuinely transformative, powerful effects within the complex system that is a human life.
This integrated approach is The Ecology Of Wellness.

What We Do
Everything we do is supported by the latest research.
Scientific understanding of the drivers of aging is progressing at a remarkable pace. Nearly every month, profound new insights into the underlying mechanics of our biology are uncovered. Our team of biochemists is constantly analyzing this research, distilling the best-supported insights to develop nutritional strategies that slow or reverse aspects of biological aging.
To create formulas with maximum potency + efficacy.
Our plant-based products are formulated (and reformulated) to achieve maximum bioavailability and potency. We obsess over our formulation process with unusual amounts of iterative lab and clinical testing, and extremely strict standards for our supply chain and manufacturing. Every ingredient and then every finished formula is rigorously 3rd party tested to verify not only purity, but functional potency.
We iterate. And iterate. And iterate.
Our products will never become static. We're always finding new ways to improve our formulations. Our mission will always drive us to continuously improve the efficacy and accessibility of nutritional tools — which means our work is never truly done.
So you will actually feel them working.
Often, when you’re taking a supplement, you just have to trust that it’s working. That’s not the case with Synchro. You will know our formulas are working because you’ll feel it in your joints, your sleep, your quality of life.

What We BELIEVE
Aging Is Natural.
But slowing down doesn’t have to be. Instead of yielding to it, we give people tools to support a renewed mind and body at every age. That way, we all can feel more confident, empowered, and wiser along the journey, no matter what age we are.
Nature Is The Original Scientist.
If you look closely enough, there is endless wisdom to be found in nature, where everything exists as part of a larger system. This informs the way we formulate our products and the way we run our company — with energy conserving manufacturing, sustainable packaging, and giving 10% of our profits to NGOs working to improve human health globally.
Feeling > Trusting.
Our grounding in science is the first layer of trust between us and our customers, but we set the bar higher. We want every customer to feel the tangible benefits of our formulas, whether they feel it in their joints or in the freedom of being able to live life on their own terms.
The planet is a system we’re all a part of. Let’s treat it well.
We spend a lot of time focused on cellular systems, but that wouldn’t be worth a lot without the ecosystems we all call home. This is why we are passionate about upholding practices that are better for our planet. Our manufacturing and supply chain are energy-conscious at every step of the journey. Our packaging is always chosen to minimize material and energy inputs, and maximize compostability and recyclability.

OUR FOUNDER
Graham founded Synchro in 2011 in Berkeley, California as a continuation of biochemistry research in healthspan extension.
Two parts biochemist, one part yogi and one part bio-phile (ok, and one part futurist) - Graham aims to take unconventional angles to the countless problems that comprise aging and healthspan extension, with the belief that the most significant advances often lie slightly outside of the mainstream scientific purview.
Graham and his wife (and collaborator) Dana live in New York, New York.
