With aging, older cells can become dysfunctional, increasing inflammation in the body. They are known as senescent cells and have been associated with heart disease, cancer, and other age-related disorders. The body may no longer have the capacity to break them down and make room for healthy cells.
Listed below are naturally occurring molecules that prevent and eliminate harmful molecules from the body.
- Myricetin plant phenol that modulates an array of age-related pathways and promotes cell repair
- N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) amino acid that aids in the formation of glutathione, arguably the body’s most protective antioxidant
- Gamma tocotrienol considered part of the vitamin E family, modulates numerous pathways including cholesterol production, cancer promotion, and bone formation in a positive manner
- EGCG active molecule in green tea that impacts inflammation, fat utilization, glucose function, and prevents sugar induced damage
