Animals with the fastest rates of DNA repair generally have the longest life spans.
The enzyme that is primarily responsible for DNA repair is called "Telomerase",
however you cannot purchase Telomerase therapy and there is much research to be
done before any human trials will be performed on this enzyme.
In the meantime, and until such DNA repair becomes routinely
available, you can do something about the DNA damage created by our lifestyles.
We do know that exposure to external causes of DNA damage (ultraviolet light,
tobacco, overeating, etc) decreases life span. We also know that enzymes called sirtuins
can extend the life span in certain life forms. These enzymes called sirtuins,
derived from resveratrol, can be
found in large amounts in certain plants.
And "resveratrol" in effective
amounts, can be purchased now!!!
The only treatment shown definitively to slow aging in cells
and certain animals is caloric restriction. The introduction of sirtuins, from
resveratrol,
into the human diet is expected to mimic caloric restriction. Imagine,
the advantages of starving without doing without food!!!
Caloric Restriction
The only treatment shown definitively to slow aging in cells and certain animals
is caloric restriction, a reduction of total daily calorie intake by about 35%.
Some researchers speculate that caloric reduction works in part by inducing more
DNA repair.(46),(47) At this point, for
humans, caloric reduction remains an unpleasant (and unproven) way to promote
healthier DNA and increase life span, since people who practice it are often
hungry, cold, and uncomfortable.
Recently, scientists published in Nature evidence that
resveratrol, a compound found in red wine, grape vines, grape skins, Hu Zhang Root Extract,
etc. may be able to mimic the effects of
caloric restriction. Resveratrol activates enzymes called sirtuins that extend
life span in yeast, and yeast cells treated with the molecule lived 60 to 80%
longer than control cells. Researchers hope that this research could provide a
basis for development of a life-extending drug, as sirtuins are also found in
human cells.(48)
Label Information:
Resveratrol 16 mg, 60 Tablets
• Antioxidant Protection*
• Dietary Supplement
• 16 MG Total Resveratrols
Resveratrol is a unique compound produced by the skins of grapes,
grapevines and other plants and their roots in response to environmental stresses. Studies
have demonstrated that resveratrol has potent antioxidant activity and also has
the ability to inhibit platelet aggregation. These actions may help
prevent free-radical damage throughout the body and provide protective support
to the cardiovascular system. It is also thought to play a significant role in
the repair and maintenance of DNA strands.*
Suggested Use: 2 tablets twice daily. or as recommended by your
health care professional.
DescriptionCardiovascular Protection and Capillary Strength
16 mg Total Resveratrols from 200 mg Polygonum Cuspidatum
50 mg Grape Seed OPC's
100 mg Grape Skin Extract
200 mg Green Tea Extract
This Resveratrol Synergy contains the flavonoid resveratrol, plus catechins (green tea), anthocyanins (grape Skin) and proanthocyanins
(OPC'c from grape seed). Resveratrol (3, 4, 5-trihydroxystilbene), extracted from Huzhang ("tiger cane") root, protects cardiovascular function by promoting circulation.
Green Tea contains flavans, Grape Seed OPC's are flavanols (condensed flavans), and Grape Skin contains
anthocyanins. These synergistic plant extracts spare vitamin C and protect
