Superoxide dismutase
SOD
The scientific name Superoxide dismutase (abbreviated SOD) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide through dismutation reactions. It is widely found in all kinds of animals, plants, microorganisms, and is an important antioxidant that protects cells exposed to oxygen.
The latest research in the United States shows that SOD is an important member of the antioxidant enzyme system in biological systems, widely distributed in microorganisms, plants and animals. Hydrogen oxide plays a vital role in the balance of oxidation and anti-oxidation in the body, and is inseparable from the occurrence and development of many diseases. It has anti-oxidant, anti-radiation and anti-aging functions.
SOD is high in vegetables and fruits, such as bananas, hawthorn,prickly pear, kiwi fruit, garlic, etc., and others such as scallops, chicken, etc. are also distributed.
Human aging is the consequence of accumulation or scavenging of reactive oxygen species free radicals. The excess free radicals in the body can cause cell damage and pigmentation. Human aging also leads to the continuous reduction of SOD in the body. The high-efficiency supplement of exogenous SOD is conducive to delaying skin aging, anti-oxidation, and removing pigmentation.
It has remarkable curative effect in the treatment of inflammation, autoimmunity, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by free radicals. SOD can use its antioxidant effect to inhibit inflammation types such as arthritis, pleurisy, and acute bronchitis. It can also effectively inhibit cancer cells by scavenging superoxide anion free radicals.

flavanols
Cocoa Flavanol
Scientific name: Flavanols, is a natural plant compound that exists in cocoa, saponin, tea, red wine, fruits and vegetables, and cocoa has the highest content of flavanols, so it is also called cocoa flavanols. It is an important contribution to American herbal medicine. In the days before it was artificially cultivated, it used to be as precious as gold, and only the nobles of the Aztec Empire could enjoy it.
Modern medical research has found that flavanol is a natural antioxidant contained in many plants, which maintains normal blood pressure by maintaining the health of human blood vessels; flavanols can maintain healthy blood flow by reducing the adhesion of platelets in the blood, Improves various brain symptoms such as migraines, memory loss and brain fog effects; flavanols also act as antioxidants to support heart health. Like other antioxidants, flavanols also have the effect of destroying free radicals.
Of particular importance, flavanols are effective at inhibiting free radical-induced negative body chemistry changes. This antioxidant is also believed to prevent blood clots. Several studies have shown that flavanol compounds can lower blood LDL (bad cholesterol) levels. Daily intake of 200 mg of flavanols in cocoa can reduce the systolic blood pressure of hypertensive patients by about 5.3% after four weeks.
NMN and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, NAD
Both NMN and NR are precursors of coenzyme NAD+, derivatives of vitamin B3. Taking NR or NMN is to hope that it can be converted into NAD+ in the body. NAD+ is an indispensable adjuvant for many important enzymatic reactions in the body, and plays an important role in the production of energy in human cells. For example, as a coenzyme of oxidoreductase and dehydrogenase in the process of cellular respiration, it can help decompose ingested nutrients. , producing energy ATP.
NAD+ is an energy-providing molecule found in every cell of the body for metabolism, building new cells, fighting free radicals and DNA damage, and sending signals within cells that enable mitochondria to convert the food we eat into what our body needs to maintain The energy of all its functions. Genes that accelerate the aging process also need to be "turned off".
NAD+ is essential to life. Healthy mitochondrial function is an important part of human aging. Our bodies have the ability to make NAD+ from components in the food we eat. Studies in laboratory animals and people have shown that NAD+ levels drop substantially with age. This decline puts us at greater risk for neurological and muscle degeneration, declines in cardiometabolic health, and recovery and elasticity. Scientists at prestigious research institutions have been investigating NAD+ boosting strategies as a treatment for degenerative conditions associated with aging. Research has shown that NAD+ plays a unique role in muscle and tissue protection, while also enhancing lifespan.
Outstanding features of NAD+:
Improves mental state: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) helps improve concentration, memory, alertness and mental clarity.
The role of NAD+ in cellular respiration: NAD+ is an important enzyme for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the most important part of cellular respiration. Every cell in the body needs thousands of ATP, and NAD+ helps cells get this energy they need.
Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease: NAD+ is used to treat Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and depression patients and can effectively improve patients health status.
For skin care and health care: As the most active coenzyme in the metabolic process, and has the ability to repair damaged cells, making NAD+ the most effective antioxidant. NAD+ is number one in the anti-aging element category. It helps reduce the signs of aging, is an important element in skin care, and provides energy and longevity to aging cells.
Improves Endurance: As an endurance enhancer, NAD+ can help with a variety of athletic training tasks and improve athletic performance. It multiplies cell production and provides instant energy for physical activity.
NAD+ dietary supplement/health supplement: Helps repair damaged DNA and cells by promoting growth hormone and other beneficial ingredients.
NAD+ for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS): Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a mental state with extreme fatigue, NAD+ helps relieve tension and stress in people with CFS.
Other aspects: Others use NAD to treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol, adjust jet lag, ward off the effects of alcohol on the liver, reduce aging, and prevent the side effects of anti-AIDS drugs.

Xinhui Chenpi
Xinhui Tangerine Peel
Xinhui tangerine peel refers to the peel of Chazhi tangerine (also known as Dahong tangerine) cultivated within the protection scope of Xinhui tangerine peel geographical indication products, dried or dried, opened into three petals, and stored and aged within the protection area Dried products of more than three years. According to the harvesting time and quality, it can be divided into: citrus green skin (green skin), slightly red skin (yellow skin) and big red skin (red skin). The traditional saying of Xinhui is that the places where you can see the "Nizi Tower" are the core producing areas of Xinhui tangerine peel, such as Chakeng, Meijiang, Dongjia, Lajia, Tianma and so on in Huicheng. Among them, the alluvial plain belt on both sides of the Tanjiang River with Xinhui Yinzhou Lake as the core and the southern coastal sedimentary new reclamation area produce the best Xinhui oranges, and are the core production areas with the best quality of Xinhui tangerine peel.
Xinhui tangerine peel can be divided into three categories according to the harvesting and processing time and quality: orange peel (green peel), slightly red peel (yellow peel) and big red peel (red peel). After the long-term experience and experience of predecessors, the precise production process has been summed up: fruit picking - fruit selection - fruit washing - peeling (normal three-knife method, symmetrical two-knife method) - drying - turning skin - drying - Aging - drying - storage. Tangerine Green Peel (Green Peel): The peel processed when the fruit is harvested when it is immature (usually refers to the beginning of autumn in the lunar calendar to the cold dew). The appearance is blue-brown to blue-black, hard in texture, thin in skin, hard in taste and fragrant. Its efficacy: it has the functions of soothing the liver and gallbladder, dissolving knots and dissolving chong, clearing away heat and detoxifying, suitable for medicinal herbal tea, with a bitter taste in the mouth. Slightly reddish skin (yellow skin) refers to the skin that begins to turn yellow, (usually refers to the cold dew to the light snow in the lunar calendar). Bittersweet and bitter.
Its effect: the skin is thin, easy to collect, less sugar and sweet and sweet. It can be used as general pot medicine or general medicinal materials and general meat seasoning. Dahongpi (red skin) has a brownish-red to reddish-black-red exterior color, with numerous large and concave oil chambers, very obvious shrinkage, soft texture, thick skin, and a spicy and sweet flavor. Its effects: resolve phlegm and relieve cough, invigorate the spleen and stomach, especially good for the digestive system and respiratory system, and the entrance is sweet and mellow. It has a wide range of applications, is suitable for precious medicinal materials, and is an excellent ingredient for dietary cooking.
China has used the rind of citrus as traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years, and there has always been a habit of using citrus together. The "Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine" of the Republic of China wrote: "Xinhui peel, orange peel is also good, and the spicy flavor of the aged is better." After the Republic of China, Xinhui orange peel was shipped to three major markets in Shanghai, Chongqing and Guangzhou. , and then resold all over the country. has currently beenIncluded in the Chinese National Ministry of Health's Medicinal and Food Homologous Catalog.
Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the incidence and severity of people in the surrounding areas of the core production areas of Xinhui tangerine peel have been significantly lower, further verifying the magical power of Xinhui tangerine peel to be the same source of medicine and food.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it has the functions of promoting qi and strengthening the spleen, neutralizing the stomach, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, reducing qi and relieving vomiting, soothing the liver and gallbladder, resolving knots and resolving carbuncles. Chenpi. Research shows: "The longer the aging time of Xinhui tangerine peel is, the more flavonoids tend to increase. The flavonoids have anti-lipid oxidation, scavenging oxygen free radicals, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-aging, etc. It also has a certain effect on the cardiovascular system, which can reduce the permeability of capillaries and the fragility of the capillary wall; Xinhui tangerine peel is also rich in polymethoxyflavonoids. A large number of studies have shown that polymethoxyflavonoids have anti-cancer properties. , anti-mutagenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and cardiovascular protection." Among them, the flavonoids of methyl 2-methylaminobenzoate are unique to Xinhui tangerine peel, and there are no tangerine peels from other origins, so Xinhui tangerine peel is healthy. The health value is higher than other tangerine peels.
Chenpi contains volatile oils, flavonoids, tangerine peel alkaloids, tangerine peel polysaccharides, limonoids, pectin, B vitamins, vitamin C and many trace elements. The results of modern scientific analysis have further confirmed the authenticity of the efficacy of high-quality tangerine peel:
1. The content of volatile oil is 2%-4%, and there are 53 components in total, mainly limonene, citral, terpinene, and also contains chuanperitone, hesperidin, inositol, vitamin Bx, etc. Oxidation, antibacterial, expectorant, and promote digestion; volatile oil can stimulate phlegm and bronchial expansion, mild stimulation to gastrointestinal smooth muscle, can promote the secretion of digestive juice, help eliminate intestinal gas, thereby increasing appetite . The volatile oil of tangerine peel also has antioxidant, antibacterial, expectorant, antiasthmatic, coronary artery dilation and choleretic effects. The content of volatile oil in tangerine peel is not as much as that of orange peel. As the age of tangerine peel increases, the content of volatile oil gradually decreases, and flavonoids increase, and the effect is more reflected.
2. The content of tangerine peel flavonoids is 2.02%--2.06%: it has the functions of maintaining normal blood pressure, reducing vascular fragility, reducing human cholesterol content, anti-allergy, lowering blood pressure, inhibiting cancer and anti-virus. As the age increases, the flavonoids increase, the active ingredients are more efficient, and the health care effect is better, which also explains why the older the tangerine peel, the more valuable it is.
3. The main component of tangerine peel alkaloids is synephrine, with a content of 0.240%--0.636%: it improves metabolism, increases calorie consumption, and ammoniates fat. It is a natural stimulant, has no side effects, and has weight loss effects.
4. The content of polysaccharides in tangerine peel is about 6.01%: it can obviously remove hydroxyl radicals, which can prevent aging to a certain extent and help to maintain a youthful state.
5. Limonoid: It can promote digestion, absorption and appetizing. Its unique bitter taste is reconciled with other flavors. It can be used as a condiment with unique flavor.
In addition, the pectin content in orange peel is more than other fruits, and its content is 15%-30%. Helps prevent the symptoms of arteriosclerosis caused by high-fat diet, and can also play a role in promoting wound healing. It can be eaten by the elderly, children, and patients with heart disease.
Resveratrol
Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a kind of polyphenolic antioxidants, mainly found in grapes, berries, peanuts and other fruits. , can be said to be the patron saint of plants for human beings.
Resveratrol became famous because of a French Paradox discussion in the 1990s, which suggested that French people who eat high-fat foods are less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease because they often drink it. Red wine contains resveratrol.
Since then, resveratrol has been continuously found to have potential health benefits, including anti-aging, anti-diabetes, anti-cancer, anti-dementia, etc., but most of them are still animal studies, and relevant human verification is still insufficient.
Resveratrol is generally divided into cis and trans isomers, but trans is more stable (Trans-resveratrol is the most common in nature), and many effects are only seen in trans (such as regulating inflammatory pathways and anti-proliferation) Therefore, it has become the mainstream of health care ingredients and the main research target.
What are the scientifically proven benefits of resveratrol?
1. Regulating blood sugar and benefiting diabetics: A small study found that taking resveratrol (150 mg daily for 30 days, a DSM patented ingredient resVida) in overweight individuals improved blood sugar levels (a 4.2 %) and insulin concentrations (13.7% decrease). A recent meta-analysis also found (including 11 studies with a total of 388 people) that resveratrol can improve fasting blood sugar, insulin, and glycosylated hemoglobin in diabetic patients. The study also noted that these improvements in blood sugar markers were not found in non-diabetic patients.
2. Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease: Resveratrol (100 mg daily) improved an indicator of vascular health: endothelial cell relaxation compared to placebo, but other blood values were unchanged. In addition, taking resveratrol can not only significantly improve a variety of inflammatory factors, including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), but also reduce the factor that causes blood clots: plasminogen activator The first type of inhibitor (PAI-1), may be used as a gold component in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
3. Improve cognitive function (may help with dementia): In animal experiments, it was found that administering resveratrol to experimental mice, in addition to prolonging the average lifespan, can also reduce the aggregation of beta-amyloid and tau protein, which has The effect of protecting nerve cells and slowing cognitive degradation, but relevant human studies have yet to be confirmed. In a small study (in overweight middle-aged adults between the ages of 50 and 75), taking resveratrol (200 mg daily for 26 weeks) not only improved blood sugar metabolism and body fat, but also Helps improve memory performance (recall more words heard 30 minutes ago) and hippocampal connectivity/an important area for forming long-term memory.
4. Beneficial for age-related macular degeneration: In a preliminary study, resveratrol was found to inhibit the vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF to slow choroidal neovascularization (triggered by the inflammatory hormone TGF-β or tissue hypoxia), perhaps Can improve the disease process of macular degeneration. In addition, other small studies have found that resveratrol (after 1 hour of taking it) helps increase choroidal thickness (increases blood flow, which reduces the chance of macular degeneration) compared to placebo.
5. Extends animal lifespan: In a 6-month human study, following a calorie-restricted diet was found to reduce a variety of lifespan-related values, including insulin levels, body temperature, DNA damage, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease , the incidence of cancer. In some studies, resveratrol has been found to produce disease resistance and life extension similar to the effect of calorie restriction (can activate the sirtuin 1 longevity gene). Therefore, in a controlled animal study (both groups were fed a high-calorie diet), the experimental mice ingested resveratrol significantly improved the survival rate and reduced the mortality rate by 31% (in addition to increasing insulin sensitivity, lowering blood sugar) , increase mitochondrial production capacity, improve activity, etc.)
6. Ulcerative colitis: It is currently believed that oxidative stress and free radicals play an important role in the cause and aggravation of the disease, and resveratrol has become the target of many studies due to its excellent reactive oxygen species scavenging ability. A double-blind controlled study (6 weeks in 56 patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis) found that taking resveratrol (500 mg daily) in addition to The higher the concentration of the product after the body is attacked by free radicals, the higher the oxidative stress, the higher the concentration of the body's total antioxidant capacity and the concentration of superoxide dismutase (SOD, a type of antioxidant). In addition, disease activity and quality of life were significantly improved in the resveratrol-treated group (compared to the placebo-controlled group).
silk protein
Silk Protein
Natural silk protein is mainly composed of two types of proteins, namely, the inner layer of silk fibroin (Fibroin, also known as fibroin, silk protein) and the outer layer of sericin (Sericin, also known as silk fibroin), the latter It is a natural macromolecular fibrin extracted from silk, rich in 18 kinds of natural macromolecular proteins of amino acids, of which glycine (Gly), alanine (Ala) and serine (Ser) account for more than 80% of the total composition. L-alanine (34.36%), has good drug delivery ability, can significantly enhance the efficacy when combined with other drugs, and can also improve memory by itself. The silk protein hydrolyzate group showed statistically significant improvement in cognitive function, it also possessed good physical healing abilities such as anti-oxidation, enhancing memory and brain cell activity, anti-tumor, repairing traumatic brain injury, and treating dryness Eye diseases, etc., have extensive and significant development value, and become the main component of Jeunesse's product MIND.
The structure of silk shows that it is almost the same as the amino acids contained in human skin, so it is also known as the "second skin" of human beings. Silk beauty has a long history in China. In the Ming Dynasty, silk has been used as a beauty recipe for imperial concubines. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", silk powder can eliminate dark spots on the skin and treat purulent dermatitis. Empress Dowager Cixi's imperial doctor used silk powder, peach blossom, camellia and pearl powder as the main materials to concoct the imperial beauty formula - Qinggong Yurongsan.
Modern science has confirmed that the protein content of silk is much higher than that of pearls, of which the nitrogen content is 37 times higher than that of pearls, and the main amino acid content is more than 10 times higher than that of pearls. Some people summarize the six beauty effects of silk as follows: super strong and lasting moisturizing ability, natural anti-wrinkle, effectively promote collagen secretion, strong whitening (melanin in the skin is formed by tyrosinase oxidation, silk protein can Strongly inhibits the formation of tyrosinase), keeps the skin fair and delicate, has a strong anti-UV effect, has the ability to absorb UV light, the average anti-UVB ability is 90%, and the anti-UVA ability is more than 50%, anti-inflammatory , acne blisters and improve inflamed wounds.
Silkworm chrysalis powder is also close to silk protein.
Proanthocyanidins/anthocyanins
OPC/Cyanidin
Proantho Cyanidins, scientific name Proantho cyanidins, mainly refers to oligomeric proanthocyanidins (Oligomeric Proantho Cyanidins referred to as OPC), generally grape seed extract or French maritime pine bark extract, and exists in wild cherry (not old berry), black wolfberry, grape seed, ginkgo biloba , cypress, pine bark, black rice seed coat, rose and other plants, its physiological activity is the best. Experiments have shown that the anti-free radical oxidation ability of oligomeric proanthocyanidin OPC is 50 times that of vitamin E and 20 times that of vitamin C, and it is absorbed rapidly and completely.
anthocyanin, English name Cyanidin, scientific name Anthocy anidins, also known as Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside), anthocyanin, is a kind of water-soluble natural pigment that widely exists in plants in nature. It is a colored back element obtained by the hydrolysis of anthocyanins. There are 20 identified anthocyanins, and 6 are common in plants, namely geranium pigment, cornflower pigment, delphinium pigment, peony pigment, morning glory pigment and mallow pigment. Most of the main color substances in fruits, vegetables and flowers are related to it. Anthocyanins give petals a riot of color. Anthocyanins belong to bioflavonoids, and the most important physiologically active functions of flavonoids are free radical scavenging ability and antioxidant ability. Studies have shown that anthocyanins, like proanthocyanidins, are the most effective antioxidants and free radical scavengers discovered by humans today.
Anthocyanins and procyanidins are two completely different substances, procyanidins are polyphenols, and anthocyanins are flavonoids. Proanthocyanidins are also called procyanidins, which can be produced by heating in an acidic medium, so this type of polyphenols is named procyanidins.
Ceptisine (Onionin)
Quercetin
Also known as quercetin, quercetin, also known as onion and flavonoid, it is a plant flavonol, which belongs to flavonoids in polyphenols, and is present in various foods, including broccoli, asparagus and vegetables. , shallots, green peppers, tomatoes and red lettuce, fruits such as apples, strawberries, grapes, blueberries, cranberries and blackcurrants. In studies, quercetin has been found to have a variety of biological properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, free radical scavenging, and immunomodulatory activities, which constitute potential benefits for overall health and disease resistance. Base. The specific effects are as follows: assisting the treatment of COVID-19 disease; improving aerobic effect; regulating blood pressure; helping to lose weight; beneficial to blood sugar control; beneficial to systemic inflammatory state;
In addition, in terms of anti-cancer, many studies have shown that quercetin has an inhibitory effect on various cancer cells. As far as the specific mechanism of action is concerned, quercetin has a variety of biological effects, inhibiting various enzymes in cancer cells involved in cell proliferation and signal transduction pathways. However, in the list of carcinogens published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization in October last year, quercetin, an extract of oak tree, was included in the list of three types of carcinogens. This is the paradox of cepsin.
The sensational senescent cell lysis drug (Senolytic) in the past few years is composed of a safe and low-dose leukemia old drug - Dasatinib (Dasatinib) and quercetin. In 2015, the same team proved that this formula has anti-aging effects, and has entered the second phase of clinical trials, and is being used for the treatment of middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic kidney disease. At present, it has been confirmed that this drug has the effect of prolonging the lifespan and improving the physiological function of the super-aged animals whose lifespan is about to end.
Taxifolin
Taxifolin
Also known as Dihydroquercetin (DHQ), Taxifolin, Taxifolin, is a bioflavonoid extract (belonging to vitamin p) extracted from the roots of Larix alpine. Taxifolin is an important natural antioxidant that the human body needs. Taxifolin is a rare and extremely precious medicine and health food ingredient in the world. At present, taxifolin is only found in yew, douglas fir, and larch, and there is also a very small amount in the venereal tree and wild black cherry. Because yew and douglas fir have been listed as endangered tree species in the world, logging is prohibited, and larch is only distributed in eastern Siberia, northeastern Mongolia, northeastern China and North Korea, and has a long growth cycle, so the resources available for production are extremely scarce. and scarcity.
Because Taxifolin has a special molecular structure of five phenolic hydroxyl groups, it is the best and rarest natural potent antioxidant found in the world so far, which can effectively remove free radicals and toxins in the human body. Therefore, Taxifolin It has broad-spectrum biological and pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-radiation, anti-cancer, anti-virus, regulating immunity, removing melanin, and improving microcirculation. It is a precious raw material for the production of food, medicine and health care products.
Due to the problems of raw materials and production process, only the United States and Russia have developed a variety of medicinal and edible products using Taxifolin as raw materials in the world, while the production technology is mainly based on Russia, which is relatively mature and can form small batches of industrial production. , the global annual output is less than 20 tons, while China's current output is only 5 tons. The European and American markets are 400 RMB/gram.
Scientist Bollinger believes that eating 4-10 mg of dihydroquercetin and vitamin C every day for one year can prolong life by 20-25 years.
