T.A. Sciences, Inc.

What T.A. Sciences, Inc. does

T.A. Sciences, Inc. is a private U.S. nutraceutical and cosmeceutical company founded in 2002 by Noel Thomas Patton and headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona (originally New York City). The company develops and commercializes TA-65®, a patented, plant-derived compound that activates the telomerase enzyme to slow, stop, or reverse the shortening of telomeres — the protective DNA caps whose attrition is associated with cellular aging. The flagship product line is TA-65MD® nutritional supplements, available in 100 unit, 250 unit, and 500 unit strengths, sold as capsules and tablets; the portfolio is extended by TA-65® for Skin, an emollient topical cream, and by Pro Series tablets distributed exclusively through licensed healthcare practitioners. In 2012 the company acquired all worldwide patents and intellectual property rights to TA-65® (including a drug candidate for age-associated diseases) for over $5 million, giving it exclusive control of the underlying technology, which is manufactured to 98% purity under GMP and USP-verified conditions.

The company's business model is a hybrid direct-to-consumer and licensed-practitioner model. Consumer sales occur primarily through the company's e-commerce site (tasciences.com) at premium price points ranging from $100 for an entry-level 30-capsule bottle to $600 for a 90-capsule high-dose bottle, and $830–$1,000 for TA-65® for Skin tubes. An autoship/subscription program offers 10% discounts on recurring orders and free shipping above $175, providing recurring revenue mechanics. The second distribution arm is a physician licensee program in which licensed anti-aging and integrative medicine practitioners purchase TA-65MD® at wholesale and resell to patients, with Pro Series tablets available exclusively through this channel. The company invests over $1 million annually in scientific research, has published the first randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study showing statistically significant telomere lengthening in humans, and holds GRAS status for use in medical food. Future products in development include canine and equine TA-65® formulations. T.A. Sciences is founder-controlled and self-funded, with no disclosed external equity investment rounds.

Revenue model

1. Direct Consumer Sales of TA-65MD® Nutritional Supplements: The company sells TA-65MD® nutritional supplements directly to consumers through its e-commerce website at multiple dosage strengths (100 unit, 250 unit) and capsule quantities (30 or 90 capsules). Revenue is generated through one-time purchases and recurring autoship/subscription orders. Volume discounts are available for larger orders.
2. Direct Consumer Sales of TA-65® for Skin: TA-65® for Skin is sold directly to consumers through the company website as an emollient cream targeting cellular-level skin rejuvenation. Sold in 4 oz (118.2 ml) tubes at tiered volume discount pricing.
3. Physician Licensee Program: Healthcare practitioners become licensed TA-65MD® providers, purchasing products at wholesale prices and reselling to their patients. This creates an ancillary revenue stream for physicians while serving as the primary distribution channel for the Pro Series tablets.
4. Autoship / Subscription Program: Customers can opt into an autoship program to receive regular product deliveries at a 10% discount (excluding initial order). This generates recurring revenue and improves customer retention. Free domestic shipping on autoship orders over $175.

Broad incumbents

• Metagenics: Medical-grade nutritional supplement company selling practitioner-grade nutraceuticals in the functional/integrative medicine channel. Comparable distribution overlap through licensed physicians and clinical-health positioning.
• Jarrow Formulas: Established supplement brand selling nutritional products through practitioner, retail and DTC channels with research-backed formulations. Comparable practitioner-tier positioning though focused on broader categories rather than aging-specifically.
• Nu Skin / Pharmanex: Global multi-level marketing company with the Pharmanex nutrition brand that includes anti-aging cellular supplements (e.g., ageLOC). Comparable anti-aging/supplement overlap but a much larger company with broader cosmetics and personal care portfolio.
• Herbalife: Large global nutrition company with a nutrition supplement portfolio targeting wellness, weight management, and cellular health. Operates well outside T.A. Sciences' positioning (broader and lower-priced) but is a comparable consumer-direct nutraceuticals peer by business model.

Emerging players

• Codeage: Direct-to-consumer longevity and cellular-health supplement brand spanning NAD+ precursors, senolytics, and longevity-focused formulations. Comparable niche, premium-positioning, DTC-led model though smaller and earlier-stage than T.A. Sciences.

Direct peers

• LifeVantage (Protandim): Direct-selling wellness company built around NRF2-activator and telomere/cellular health supplements with patent-protected formulations. Comparable science-led positioning, multi-level practitioner-affiliate distribution, and longevity-categorical focus.
• ChromaDex (Tru Niagen): Public company commercializing NAD+ precursor (nicotinamide riboside) for cellular health and healthy aging. Highly comparable product positioning, scientific evidence base, premium pricing, and DTC + practitioner distribution.
• Life Extension Foundation: Long-established direct-to-consumer supplement brand focused on healthy aging, longevity, and disease prevention. Overlaps directly with T.A. Sciences in anti-aging nutraceuticals targeting health-conscious consumers with high-LTV subscriptions.
• Elysium Health: Premium longevity supplement company founded around NAD+ cellular health with patented ingredients and clinical evidence (Basis/nicotinamide riboside). Closely comparable to TA-65's positioning: science-backed, premium-priced, anti-aging supplements sold DTC and through practitioner channels.
