Wheat germ spermidine powder
Spermidine from wheat germ powder
Food supplement, 160 g
It has a stimulating effect on the immune system.
Weizenkeim Spermidin Pulver / Spermidine powder from wheat germ by the German company Karl Minck Naturheilmittel is a dietary supplement that supports the normal functioning of the immune system. Spermidine has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and can also improve respiratory and metabolic function. Taking spermidine reduces the risk of many age-related diseases such as cancer, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
A 17th-century Dutch scientist named Anton Van Leeuwenhoek was the first to discover spermidine in 1678. Spermidine is a naturally occurring polyamine. The polyamine group is a group of positively charged small organic molecules with two or more primary amino groups. The precursor to spermidine is called putrescine, which aids in the production of spermidine in the human body.
Spermidine is found in a number of plant-based foods such as wheat germ, rice bran, green tea, oranges, broccoli, peas, chickpeas, whole grains, corn, legumes, soy products, and grapefruit. Many foods in the Mediterranean diet are rich in spermidine. This fact may explain the longevity of people living in this region.
Health benefits:
Spermidine supports mitochondrial function, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, and prevents stem cell aging. It has remarkable cardioprotective and neuroprotective effects.
- Improves learning and memory
Spermidine has neuroprotective effects against neuronal damage resulting from inflammation, ischemia, and oxidative stress. One way it works is by dissolving amyloid-beta proteins through autophagy. These plaques can build up in the brain and are linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Clinical studies have confirmed that spermidine can prevent memory loss in older adults with dementia.
- Longevity and counteracting free radicals
Spermidine may also be beneficial for longevity. The supplement promotes cell renewal through autophagy.
Spermidine also protects DNA from damage caused by oxidative stress. It stabilizes mitochondrial DNA, thus protecting the body from aging caused by mutations in the mitochondrial genome. Studies have shown that spermidine can inhibit a large number of the hallmarks of aging.
- Improves reproductive function
Spermidine is associated with improved reproductive function and fertility stimulation in both sexes.
Spermidine was first discovered in semen and is important for the generation of sperm during sexual intercourse. In fact, infertile men have been found to have lower levels of spermidine compared to fertile men.
- Anti-inflammatory activity
The main function of spermidine in the human body is to trigger autophagy. This is the only way in which spermidine has the potential to participate in maintaining longevity. However, there is increasing evidence that spermidine also supports longevity through its anti-inflammatory activity.
Spermidine exhibits anti-inflammatory properties through apoptosis (programmed cell death), cell proliferation, and lipid metabolism.
Chronic inflammation can be harmful because it promotes cellular aging, makes immune cells dysfunctional, and stops the regeneration of healthy tissue. Spermidine inhibits chronic inflammation in the body, thereby promoting health and longevity.
Other benefits of spermidine:
- In a recent study, spermidine was shown to improve mitochondrial and cognitive function.
- There is some evidence that it helps improve cardiovascular function and prevents cancer. Spermidine inhibits cardiac inflammation to improve cardiovascular health.
- Spermidine is also believed to reduce oxidative stress in the body, thus further helping in the fight against aging.
