Spermidine: Everything You Need to Know About this Game Changing Supplement
As many of you know, Huemn is very excited about the future of longevity, and what is on the horizon for humanity. As we learn more and more about aging, the scientific community is identifying specific products and technology that will help us age more successfully and increase our healthspan. After all, no one wants to be successful at living longer, if those years are filled with being sick. This is why we are constantly working with doctors and scientists to identify new products that boost longevity and optimize our health and performance.
If you've been following the latest research in longevity and anti-aging, then you may have have come across a supplement called Spermidine. It has been a subject on Dave Asprey's podcast (linked here), and many others. Spermidine is a hot topic due to the pleiotropic, or many effects, that it has on genes that drive autophagy. What is autophagy, you ask? Autophagy is the process of cellular clean-up that prevents and slows down DNA damage, which is one of the critical drivers of aging. As a result of this research, Huemn's medical director, Dr. Cliff Thomas MD, has brought this supplement to the attention of the Huemn Community.
To give you a head start, we thought that we would write this email to provide you with vital information on Spermidine, in order to see if you, too would like to add this exciting supplement to your longevity and optimization protocol.
First things first, let's talk about what Spermidine is. Spermidine is a naturally occurring compound that is part of a group of molecules called polyamines. These polyamines are known to interact with cells to perform critical metabolic functions, including one of the most important functions: autophagy. Like fasting, Spermidine can provide many of the same benefits without the fast.
Some of the benefits of fasting and autophagy include:
Ridding toxic cellular proteins that cause aging diseases
Promoting regeneration of healthy cells
Providing building blocks for cells that could benefit from repair
We rarely get to see research and findings performed on humans in new compounds; however, this is not the case with Spermidine. Dr. Thomas finds this exciting, because the completed research has shown incredible findings. We already know that Spermidine is safe, because it is a naturally occurring compound found in many of our foods like broccoli and cauliflower, whole grains, wheat, and more. But below, you can see a few of the key studies where Spermidine has been shown to help with the following:
Immune System and Inflammation - Read here.
Cognitive Function - Read here.
Obesity and Diabetes - Read here.
Maintains telomere length and delays aging - Read here.
Lastly, we are now offering this supplement in the store at Huemn! While we know that you can easily order this supplement online, we would love it if you'd consider purchasing from us in-store. This way, we can continue to bring you helpful content and products that help your optimization and longevity goals.
Here is a quote from Dr Elizabeth Yurth, MD from the Boulder Longevity Institute, "If you were to ask me, is there one supplement I'd keep in my regimen if I abandoned everything else? This would is the one."
