Genetic approaches to anti-aging
Sirtuins and NAD+
Prof. David Sinclair has conducted extensive research on sirtuins, a group of enzymes that play a key role in regulating the aging process. Sirtuins are activated by NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a molecule whose levels in the body decrease with age. By increasing NAD+ levels, sirtuins can be activated, leading to improved DNA repair, increased energy production in the mitochondria and an overall improvement in cellular function[1][3].
Epigenetic changes
Sinclair has also studied the role of epigenetic changes in the aging process. Epigenetic factors such as SIRT1 can be redistributed in response to DNA damage, leading to aging of cells. Through targeted epigenetic modulation, these changes can potentially be reversed, allowing cells to rejuvenate[1].Xenohormesis
Another interesting concept is the xenohormesis hypothesis, which states that plant compounds produced under stress conditions can activate longevity mechanisms in animals and humans. Resveratrol, a polyphenol from grapes, is a well-known example of such a substance that activates SIRT1 and can thus extend lifespan[1][6].
Practical applications and products
NMN and NRNicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide riboside (NR) are precursors of NAD+ and have been shown in studies to increase NAD+ levels and thus reduce age-related loss of function in cells. These substances are already available as dietary supplements and are being intensively researched to confirm their effectiveness and safety in humans[3][6].
Resveratrol
Resveratrol is another example of a substance that intervenes deeply in the genetic mechanisms of aging. It activates sirtuins and has shown in studies that it can extend the lifespan of model organisms and combat age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases[6].
The anti-aging substances that we offer in our shop are based on the latest scientific findings and aim to influence the aging processes at the genetic and epigenetic level. By increasing NAD+ levels and activating sirtuins, as well as using botanicals such as resveratrol, these products have the potential to improve cellular function and extend lifespan. These profound approaches are significantly different from conventional cosmetic products and offer a science-based method to combat aging.

WARNING: Be careful when buying NMN, especially from Amazon. Fraudsters cavort at Amazon and Alibaba, and neither Amazon nor Alibaba are taking effective action against it. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. NR (and other dietary supplements that are offered on Amazon) are also often simply fake. - You can find out more here.
