Longevity

Resveratrol is the best-known activator of sirtuins, more commonly known as “longevity proteins”.

It supports healthy cardiovascular function, as evidenced by the so-called “French paradox”. People who live in France and the Mediterranean region consume a lot of animal fats and other unhealthy foods, and yet, despite this diet, they have a long life expectancy. It is thought that this has something to do with drinking plenty of wine, which is a rich source of resveratrol.

Resveratrol can be found in grape skins, red wine, mulberry, and blackcurrant, among other sources.

The Longevity dietary supplement contains Japanese knotweed root extract standardized to 98% of trans-resveratrol DER 150–200:1.

Quercetin is a polyphenol that can be found in large quantities in apples, pears, onions, and capers. It has a substantial antioxidative potential, which means it can protect and support mitochondria and delay aging processes in the body. The antioxidative properties of quercetin help eliminate free radicals, which damage cells and make them age faster when present in excess. 

The Longevity dietary supplement contains Japanese pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum (L.) Schott) flower and bud extract standardized to 98% of quercetin DER 15:1.

Pineapple contains not only many essential vitamins and minerals, but also an enzyme called bromelain. This pineapple enzyme positively affects gut health and digestion. It is also known for its restorative properties, so it helps your body function well and maintain balance. 

The Longevity dietary supplement contains pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) extract containing 2500 GDU/g of bromelain DER 150:1.

Coenzyme Q10 is a compound that can be found in all cells of our body, though once we turn 35, we can no longer produce enough of it to cover all our needs. Coenzyme Q10 plays an important role in energy metabolism and is one of key antioxidants. It also helps the body “regenerate” and is great for people who work too much and suffer from a lack of energy, as it is crucial for the healthy functioning of every cell. This means that coenzyme Q10 helps boost immunity, improve physical performance, and restore energy levels and stamina.

PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) is so much more than just an ingredient supporting cognitive performance, and mitochondria are much more than just the powerhouse of the cell. Together, they act synergistically.

PQQ is a cofactor — in other words, a substance that intensifies the activity of enzymes necessary for the proper functioning of the whole body. It is also a compound that perfectly complements coenzyme Q10 in optimizing energy processes. Moreover, it demonstrates considerable potential for stimulating the development of new mitochondria. PQQ also takes part in memory-formation processes.

In studies, daily supplementation with PQQ has been found to potentially help improve the quality and function of mitochondria, boost energy levels in a natural way, and increase cognitive performance and mood.

PQQ is a natural, pure source of PQQ disodium salt, and the manufacturing process helps maintain all the natural qualities of PQQ found in fruit, vegetables, and meat. 

The Longevity dietary supplement contains the only patented, natural form of PQQ, which is obtained in a patent-protected fermentation process from the Hyphomicrobium denitrificans CK-275 bacteria strain.

Cocoa beans are the most popular source of theobromine. You will also find it in tea, Arabica coffee, guarana, and yerba mate. Theobromine is the most abundant methylxanthine in chocolate. Similarly to caffeine, it can stimulate the central nervous system and heart function. It also has the capacity to produce both psychological and physical relaxation. It positively affects the nervous system, increases physical performance, reduces blood pressure and cortisol level, supports the cardiovascular system, has neuroprotective properties, and helps increase blood flow to the brain, thus improving cognitive performance. 

The Longevity dietary supplement contains cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) seed extract standardized to 24% of theobromine DER 30:1.

OPC is short for oligomeric proanthocyanidins. It is estimated that in terms of their antioxidative activity, OPC are up to 50 times stronger than vitamin E and 20 times stronger than vitamin C, which is why this ingredient can protect against excessive free radicals.

OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), found in grapes, have been demonstrated to protect blood vessels, which is why they can be effective in preventing cardiovascular disease. Their positive effects on the human body are constantly being explored and discovered. 

The Longevity dietary supplement contains red grape (Vitis vinifera L.) skin extract standardized to 50% of oligomeric proanthocyanidins DER 100:1.

It can be found in some cruciferous vegetables, particularly broccoli, and its concentrations are the highest in sprouts. Its high levels persist for only a few days after sprouting, and after that time they decrease considerably. Sulforaphane does not like high temperatures — unfortunately, cooking causes it to degrade and lose its activity.

This compound has many properties vital for the human body, protecting it against an excess of free radicals and strongly intensifying antioxidative mechanisms. Findings from laboratory studies suggest that sulforaphane affects the activity of sirtuins (longevity proteins). 

The Longevity dietary supplement contains broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Plenck) extract standardized to 0.4% of sulforaphane DER 20:1.

Taurine is a known biogenic amino acid, found mainly in the brain, heart, retina, and skeletal muscles — hence its popularity among athletes and physically active people. 

Even though it can be found in energy drinks, taurine has a calming effect on the body, as it counteracts the negative effects of caffeine consumption, such as agitation, heart palpitations, irritation, or anxiety.

Studies on Japanese centenarians showed that they tended to consume foods with a high taurine content (such as seafood). The Japanese, especially from Okinawa, are famous for living long lives in good health. Consuming products with a high taurine content can be presumed to positively affect the human body. 

Vitamin B3 is very important for the human body. It supports brain and nervous system function and contributes to maintaining good energy metabolism, giving you the power and strength to take on new challenges. It also affects mood and well-being, and its calming properties help maintain peace of mind.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5′-phosphate) is a coenzyme that helps supply nerve cells with glucose and is involved in the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Its correct level is necessary for hormone release and balance. 

It is a key factor in over 100 different reactions taking place in the human body, and is fundamental for the proper functioning of the nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems. It complements taurine and interacts with many other vitamins and minerals in the body to help maintain its optimal functioning.

Research shows that piperine (the active ingredient found in black pepper) significantly increases the bioavailability of resveratrol and reduces the pace of its metabolism.

Black pepper is an antioxidant that eases digestion, and has a positive effect on the liver and the immune system.

The Longevity dietary supplement contains black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) fruit extract standardized to 95% of piperine DER 30:1.
