Anti-Ageing


We May Live Longer With Enzogenol

We know ageing makes us frail, can be painful and make us vulnerable to illness, so what can Enzogenol do to change the ageing process, keeping us young and forever healthy?

Enzogenols powerful complex of broad spectrum flavonoid antioxidants and phenolic acids are proven to slow down the ageing process – not just the visible signs of ageing, like fine lines and wrinkles, but the critical hidden oxidative stress damage that is linked to a host of age related degenerative diseases such as arthritis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, cognitive function and strokes.


What Is Ageing

Ageing is the result of a build-up of damage in our cells. It takes a while for the damage to get to a level where it harms us, but eventually it does. The protein fibres keeping our skin and arteries elastic go through changes that lead to loss of that vital flexibility. The DNA inside our cells get damaged and the number of times our cells will divide is reduced too. Ultimately, the cells' production and energy systems fail. It is this accumulation of DNA damage and change that can be attributed to the ageing process itself and the associated diseases and conditions.


Why Enzogenol is Anti-ageing


Increased Lifespan

Enzogenol has been shown to increase the life span of mice and reduce the rate of cancer. One group received Enzogenol with their normal mouse food for the rest of their life, the other only received the normal food. The trial showed an 18.4% increase in longevity than the mice receiving the Enzogenol. Transferring that to humans we could expect a median increase in life expectancy of 96 years for women and 90 for men.
 

Telomeres

Enzogenol may have a positive effect in the body by maintaining the length of telomers while the body gets older. This effect would be highly beneficial for every cell in the body. A current scientific theory supports that oxidative stress is involved in the shortening of telomers throughout the lifespan. Given the highly effective anti-oxidant actions of Enzogenol it is not that surprising that the telomer research has found Enzogenol to slow down the shortening of these important DNA sequences.


DNA Damage

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material that controls heredity and is located in the cell nucleus. The ongoing attack on DNA by free radicals is thought to play a major role in the age-related development of many diseases including cancer. DNA damage reduction after supplementation with Enzogenol as measured by the comet assay was considerable after 6 weeks and highly significant after just 12 weeks of supplementation.

Antioxidant Power


A recent documentary, ‘How to live to 101’, showed that the longest living people in the world all achieve a very high intake of antioxidants, measured as over 6000 ORAC units a day. To give you an idea, an average daily intake of antioxidants through a normal diet is a lowly 600 - 1000. Enzogenols ORAC rating is 9406 units.
