Prices are estimates from public sources, checked Jul 2026, and change often, verify on the merchant’s site. A “lower-cost ingredient match” shares overlapping ingredients and a similar intended use; it is not a medically equivalent product or a guaranteed result.

As a longevity supplement, NOVOS Core is priced around $109 a month, roughly 2.5x a lower-cost match built from generic calcium akg (ca-akg) 1000mg, generic fisetin 100mg, and generic pterostilbene 50mg. That match runs about $44 a month for overlapping ingredients and a similar intended use, an estimated $780/yr less.
