Longevity Breakfast Scramble

Everyone wants to live a full and healthy life, we call that longevity. We have spent millennia researching ways to stay healthy and ways to promote longevity. Recently, scientists have discovered the foundational block of longevity. It is a compound naturally produced by our body, called spermidine. 

Spermidine is the compound that triggers our cells into a process called autophagy. Autophagy allows our cells to shed layers of waste and regenerate instead of slowing down and dying off. As we age, our natural levels of spermidine go down and the symptoms of aging arise. 

Although spermidineLIFE offers the most amount of concentrated spermidine on the market, there are foods that naturally possess spermidine. At Longevity Labs, our goal is to help you find a path to a longer healthier life, whether that be through our products or through educational materials. Below, you will find a growing collection of our favorite spermidine rich food recipes!
