HOW WE AGE IS AFFECTED BY OUR GENETICS AND EPIGENETICS
When a cell multiplies, a sphere of twelve identical cells is created, in the middle of which the original cell fits. Its mother cell fits into its center as the 13th identical nucleus. This cannot be represented linearly and must be symbolized. The symbol contains twice 6 elements whose shape shows this spherical arrangement around a radiating center. The center is surrounded by eight rays that permeate space and the environment like an infinity framed by bird wings and refer to the single size of the universe. What is decisive for our question is that, when the cell has to be replicated, there are a large number of internal processes and structures that have to be prepared for this so-called division. It’s like moving house. Before you order the removal van, you have to organize and pack, and the new cell must be created without affecting or weakening its parent cell.
Longevity research shows the age-related decline of two crucial endogenous molecules – coenzyme NAD+ and antioxidant CoQ10. Your body’s natural concentrations of NAD+ and CoQ10 begin depleting due to ageing, fatigue, strenuous exercise and illness.
Getting insights into your genes is key to knowing which lifestyle interventions will be the most impactful to your personal long-term health. With the right lifestyle and dietary supplement routine, you can prevent several age-related diseases.
Ageing is a series of interconnected processes that are known scientifically as the 12 Hallmarks of Ageing. There is a hierarchical relationship between the 12 interconnected characteristics of ageing. Primary characteristics trigger harmful triggers, the effects of which increase with age. The antagonistic markers are initially beneficial in response to damage, but become increasingly problematic over time. Finally, the integrative hallmarks reflect our body's inability to cope with the cumulative damage from the primary and antagonistic hallmarks of ageing. This leads to a loss of tissue homeostasis; in other words, our cells become compromised and our tissues have a hard time repairing themselves. These hallmarks of aeging are our compass, guiding us in our hunt for the finest ingredients that specifically target these mechanisms.
CLINICAL RESEARCH
We collaborate with top academic research institutions and prominent primary investigators in Germany and the US to rigorously test our carefully crafted longevity formulations. By integrating human clinical studies with plant-specific research and in vitro data, we uncover new health benefits and endpoints, pushing forward advancements in longevity science. We founded LongevitylifeLabs to develop novel applications of microbioms to enhance biodiversity and recover ecosystems impacted by human activity.
TELOMERES: THE CLOCK WITHIN OUR CELLS
We inherit telomeres, protective caps on our chromosomes, from our parents. However, everyone's telomeres shorten with age. This shortening is a major contributor to age-related cellular breakdown. When telomeres become too short, cells can no longer reproduce, leading to tissue degeneration and ultimately, cell death. Cells in the skin, hair, and immune system are particularly susceptible due to their frequent replication.
Microorganisms, from the Greek - ¨mikros¨= small organisms. They are therefore fully-fledged independent beings that are integrated into the networks of life, just like humans themselves. They are a wide range of entities that physically exist but are generally not visible to the human eye. The respective quality of the microscope defines whether we regard them as physically existing or not. Accordingly, knowledge of microorganisms in conventional research has primarily followed optical-technical developments. Modern science is severely hampered in dealing with the invisible, which are categorised into 5 different groups: photosynthetic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi and yeasts, green algae, actinomycetes and their combinations and compounds. There is still much disagreement among microbiologists about their classification, but there is no doubt that they fulfil many different functions in relation to nutrition, medicine, the environment, technology and other areas. Moreover, they are the first group of organisms that managed to populate the earth by purifying it of toxic gases and water, preparing a fertile green future.
