iHerb Launches 'CGN Spermidine' to Support Anti-Aging Effects
iHerb announced on the 15th that it has launched ‘CGN Spermidine,’ which contains ‘spermidine,’ a compound that may help with anti-aging effects.
Spermidine is an amino acid involved in cell growth, division, and proliferation. It plays an important role in cell function and survival, including DNA synthesis. It also helps support healthy immune responses, antioxidant systems, and activates metabolism.
In particular, recent various studies and clinical trials have revealed that spermidine plays a crucial role in the body’s ‘autophagy’ process, which is highly associated with life expectancy, drawing significant attention as an anti-aging ingredient.
Autophagy is a self-cleaning process in which cells break down old and damaged parts to repair themselves or use them for generating new cells. When autophagy function is promoted, health improves; however, if this function declines, damage caused by oxidation increases, accelerating aging.
Spermidine helps enhance autophagy activity and mitochondrial function. By acting on various genes that promote autophagy, it activates autophagy and inhibits enzymes that suppress autophagy, thereby facilitating the autophagy process in the body. This mechanism may also contribute to extending life expectancy.
CGN Spermidine is made using premium-grade raw materials extracted from wheat germ. In particular, iHerb conducts the ‘iTested’ inspection on its private brand products, regularly verifying spermidine content and checking for microorganisms and heavy metals, ensuring safe consumption.
