One A Day cellular aging support

One A Day just unveiled One A Day Age Factor Cell Defense, a dietary supplement that helps defend against cellular aging from the inside.

Age Factor also includes omega-3 fatty acids, resveratrol, astaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin D and niacin to help support cell resilience throughout aging.
