Was ist Spermidin?

Over time, the human body ages and loses youthfulness, vitality and health. This is mainly due to the loss of cellular functions and a slow but sure death of cells. As long as we are young, dead cellular components are replaced by new, young cellular components. However, as we age, our body loses this ability to regenerate itself.

Cells are damaged in a wide variety of everyday situations. One of the main reasons for cell damage is free radicals. These free radicals are created in the body mainly due to an unhealthy lifestyle.

However, our body cells have the ability to recognize free radical damage and neutralize it. In this process, the damaged parts of the cell are separated so that they cannot spread further. These parts of the cell are then considered "waste", which however can continue to accumulate over time, becoming a burden on the entire cell. This is one of the main reasons for aging.

The human body works like an expensive clock - very precise, but also sensitive. The state of health is influenced by both our lifestyle and our genes, and the aging process of our cells and body is accelerated by many factors in the process:

• Unbalanced diet: highly processed foods with a high content of saturated fats and sugars provide a lot of energy to the body, but the energy offered is of low quality for our cells. This leads to unnecessary damage in our cells and organs, which over time can lead to accelerated aging and disease.
• A lack of exercise: Too little exercise and the increasingly sedentary part of our lifestyle reduce and change the metabolism in our body towards energy storage instead of energy burning.
• Persistent, high stress levels (at home and at work): Too high a level of stress over too long a period of time leads to overuse of our organs and immune system. This reduces the ability of our body to eliminate the cellular damage accumulated over time and prevent new damage.
• Sleep deprivation: If the body is deprived of the opportunity to process the daily stress at night due to lack of good sleep, this leads to an overload of the overall system, the resistance to stress decreases and the entire body is weakened.
• Excessive cigarette and alcohol consumption: high levels of free radicals from cigarette and alcohol consumption damage our cells from the inside out.
• Irregular or no fasting intervals: no or too irregular fasting periods reduce the autophagy process in our cells, which leads to the fact that damaged cell components are not sufficiently eliminated and cells are thus not comprehensively renewed.

Sufficient physical exercise, a balanced diet and good sleep are frequently regarded as factors for good health. Regular fasting, on the other hand, is rarely mentioned as a major factor in sustained good health. Fasting does require a marked degree of discipline, but the fact is that fasting, through autophagy activation, leads to many benefits for those who have the discipline necessary for regular and sufficiently long periods of fasting.

Fasting is the total or partial abstention from all or certain foods for a specified period of time. It is the most natural and effective way to activate the body's recycling mechanism, which is called autophagy. The lack of energy due to reduced food intake causes our cells to turn to alternative energy resources, namely damaged cellular components. These damaged cellular components are then broken down and new energy is produced. Any kind of reduction or avoidance of calories, for example by fasting for a day or longer, activates the autophagy process.

The body's own process of autophagy (ancient Greek for "self - (auto) eating (phagein)") is a kind of recycling process of the cells, in which the cells break down damaged or unusable cell components and generate energy from them.
Damaged cellular components contribute significantly to the development of age-related diseases. By recycling the old cellular components, cellular metabolism is promoted and the cell is kept young and healthy. Functioning autophagy is therefore essential for protection against disease.
Autophagy in the cell can be stimulated by fasting, exercise and certain substances. In view of this medical relevance, the Japanese Yoshinori Ohsumi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2016 for advances in the elucidation of autophagy.

The best way to activate autophagy is fasting. However, this requires a high degree of discipline, as it is usually difficult to integrate fasting as a fixed part of our daily routine. Social interactions, professional obligations and a varied leisure and family life present us with great challenges in this context. The solution to these challenges lies in different natural substances that enable the activation of autophagy without actually having to strictly fast.

Spermidine (a so-called polyamine) is a natural component of our cells, which is produced by our body. Spermidine can also be found in varying concentrations in a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, in meat and also cheese. About one third of the spermidine content in our body is produced by the body's own cells, the rest is ingested through food and produced by the bacteria in our digestive tract. A balanced diet can therefore help to keep the spermidine content in our body at a high level.

Spermidine is a natural substance that can be found everywhere in nature. As a polyamine, spermidine is a very small molecule that can be easily absorbed due to its size. Spermidine is found especially in male seminal fluid, which is why the name was derived from it.

Spermidine can be found in varying concentrations in fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, and in each of our body's cells, however, the body's production of spermidine in our cells decreases over time. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to daily spermidine intake. Although this aspect has only been discovered in recent years, hundreds of scientists around the world are currently engaged in spermidine research in the laboratory. With spermidineLIFE^® we, as Longevity Labs+, bring the results of this scientific research to your home.

Currently, there are no known side effects from ingesting spermidine. This is because spermidine is not only absorbed through daily food, but our body itself produces spermidine.

NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, an important coenzyme form in the body that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism.

The idea behind supplementing with NAD precursors (NAM, NMN, etc.) is to increase NAD levels in the body, as NAD is a coenzyme involved in many metabolic processes related to energy production and cellular functions.

1. nadLIFE^® Energy+ contains a combination of NAM and ribose.
2. NAM passes directly through the cell membrane and does not need to be transformed.
3. In the cell, NAM accumulates with the ribose present in the product and the phosphorus found in the cell.
4. It can then be further processed to NAD+ and support the energy balance in our cells.

With spermidineLIFE^® the focus is on renewing the cells¹, while nadLIFE^® supports the energy balance in our cells to get through everyday life even better.⁶

nadLIFE^® Energy+ contains the innovative combination of niacin (as nicotinamide), spermidine and zinc.

Niacin and nicotinamide are chemically related compounds, but they are not exactly the same. Both are forms of vitamin B3 (also known as niacin) that play an important role in the human body.
Niacin is a collective term for several related compounds, including nicotinic acid (also known as nicotinic acid) and nicotinamide (also known as niacinamide).

Is there a connection between nicotinamide and nicotine?
Although nicotinamide and nicotine are similar in terms of their chemical structure, they have very different biological effects and impacts on the human body. Nicotinamide is a vitamin, while nicotine is a harmful psychoactive substance.

The product is based on patents for mitochondrial respiration and the synergistic action of niacin with ribose and nicain with spermidine.

No, however the indicated daily intake of one stick per day should not be exceeded.

nadLIFE^® Energy+ may be supplemented from the age of 18.

Yes, because the two energy suppliers work on different levels. nadLIFE^® Energy+ works on a cellular level and coffee or energy drinks work on neurotransmitters via the brain.

Yes! The products have been developed so that they can be combined without any problems.

Dissolve one sachet daily in water and enjoy with a meal. One package contains a monthly ration of 30 sachets.
Again, continuity is the key to success!

nadLIFE^® Energy+ should be taken with a meal, as it can interrupt fasting due to the ribose it contains.

nadLIFE^® Energy+ contains 160 mg of niacin - a very high amount of niacin allowed by regulatory guidelines. The higher dosage is necessary to provide more energy to your cells.¹ ⁶ Lower doses of niacin would not be sufficient to produce a noticeable effect. However, it is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose of one sachet of nadLIFE^® Energy+.
