Spermidine

Spermidine is an organic polyamine compound that has multiple metabolic functions. It is found in ribosomes within cells, and was initially isolated from semen, which helped create the head turning name, Spermidine. 

Spermidine is created from its precursor Putrescine, and Spermidine is the precursor for Spermine. Both of these compounds have been found to stimulate autophagy, which is the process of cleaning out damaged cells to generate newer ones.

Spermidine stimulates autophagy, enabling the body to clean out and recycle any unnecessary or damaged cells. This process has been linked to multiple potential health benefits, including fighting against cancer, Type 2 Diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease, and is suggested to display anti-aging effects. 

Additionally, Autophagy allows defective mitochondria to be removed and replaced, upregulating metabolism and energy levels.

Furthermore, polyamines like Spermidine, bind to particular molecules and enable processes, including DNA stability and cell health, growth and function. 

To date, no side effects have been reported.

Many scientific investigations have demonstrated that Spermidine is very well tolerated by humans.
