How can autophagy or the increase of autophagy e.g. in humans be measured?
Autophagy can be measured by either direct observation of autophagy-related structures and their fate; or quantification of autophagy-/lysosome-dependent degradation of proteins and organelles. To accurately estimate autophagic activity, it is essential to determine autophagic flux, which is defined as the amount of autophagic degradation. Monitoring autophagic flux remains complicated even in cultured cells and model organisms and is currently unfeasible in humans.
How high is the gluten content in spermidineLIFE® capsules? Is it only an issue for celiac patients?
Any food that does not exceed a gluten content of 20 mg/kg is considered gluten-free. Foods that have gluten content between 20 mg/kg - 100 mg/kg is considered very low gluten content. SpermidineLIFE® capsules contain about 1100 mg/kg gluten. This means our product is neither gluten-free nor very low in gluten content. People suffering from a coeliac disease may only take up to 10 mg of gluten per day. If you are gluten intolerant you should avoid our product. Consult with your doctor if you are unsure if our product is safe for you.
What is autophagy? How does it relate to spermidineLIFE®?
Autophagy is the body’s process of breaking down damaged or unusable cell components to generate energy. These damaged cell components can lead to age-related diseases. By recycling these components, cellular metabolism is promoted, keeping the cell young and healthy.
Autophagia in the cell can be stimulated by fasting, exercising, and taking certain substances such as spermidine.
SpermidineLIFE® pairs effectively with fasting and interval fasting. Taking the product together with food during interval fasting improves bioavailability.
If one takes spermidineLIFE® capsules, is the self-production of spermidine stopped?
No, taking spermidineLIFE® does not stop your body's natural production of spermidine.
Can spermidine improve sports performance?
Spermidine can help improve muscle regeneration through autophagy. This can help athletes recover quicker. SpermidineLIFE® products are on the Cologne List meaning it’s doping-free and suitable for top athletes.
Customer reviews say that spermidineLIFE® capsules can help with hair growth. Is this true?
Customer reviews on our website are from verified customers and are not fake or simulated feedback. We, ourselves, do not advertise possible increased hair growth as a benefit of spermidineLIFE® products. However, research has shown that shampoos that contain spermidine can help stimulate hair growth. Apart from that, due to the very strict legal regulations in the field of food supplements, we are not able to make any health-related statements about the possible effects of a food supplement.
Can the spermidine level in the blood be measured?
It is possible to measure the level of spermidine in the blood, however, this process can be expensive and will require equipment not typically found in regular research labs. This makes the process not widely available to non-scientific organizations. It’s much easier and cost-efficient to measure spermidine content in the organs but it requires a biopsy.
Is it safe to take spermidineLIFE® capsules if you are pregnant?
Like most other dietary supplements, spermidineLIFE® is not suitable for pregnant women, nursing mothers, or children. We are hoping to conduct comprehensive tests in the near future to help us make our product safe for that demographic.
