New gluten-free, soy-free spermidine supplement launches
Oxford Healthspan launches Primeadine GF – a gluten-free, soy-free spermidine supplement sourced and manufactured in the Longevity Blue Zone of Okinawa in Japan.
Oxford Healthspan is building out its brand with a savvy new spermidine supplement – catering to those who wish to avoid wheat in their diets, those suffering from Coeliac disease or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or those on a lectin-free/paleo diet, but who still want to take their autophagy and cell renewal to the next level.
My take on Oxford Healthspan: We are becoming hyperconscious about what is in our food, crafting our diets to work with our?microbiome, promoting?bioavailability?and being vigilant about intolerances. Wheatgerm is a good source of spermidine, but supplements that use it as their source won’t be finding their way into the baskets of GF-shoppers. Wanting to make a supplement with a more universal appeal, Oxford Healthcare has turned to Chlorella, a type of algae that grows in freshwater and is native to Japan and Taiwan. As well as being rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and fibre, Chlorella is a good sources of spermidine, giving those wanting to increase spermidine in their diet the green light.
Spermidine?is a polyamine which occurs naturally in the body and which regulates important cellular functions, including synthesis of proteins, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Spermidine also stimulates cell autophagy by mimicking the effects that caloric restriction has on cells in the body. However, as we age, our spermidine levels, as well as our rate of autophagy, decline, leaving cells more exposed to damage from the?hallmarks of aging. This can be countered by taking spermidine supplements.
