Exploring Anti-Aging Supplements: Natural Compounds and Longevity Pathways
This chat session delves into the role of polyphenols, saponins, alkaloids, and polysaccharides in anti-aging supplements. It discusses how these compounds impact key pathways such as sirtuins and AMP-activated protein kinase, and their potential in managing aging-related diseases.
antiaging
Anti-aging supplements aim to support health and potentially delay the effects of aging through various mechanisms. Key compounds often discussed in the context of anti-aging include polyphenols, saponins, alkaloids, and polysaccharides1. These natural compounds from food sources are known to influence cellular and molecular pathways associated with aging. For instance, they can modulate nutrient-sensing pathways such as sirtuins, AMP-activated protein kinase, and insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 pathways, which are crucial in the regulation of longevity2.
The use of dietary supplements and natural products is considered beneficial in managing aging-related diseases, including neurological, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders2. Therefore, the continued exploration of these natural compounds could play a significant role in developing effective anti-aging strategies.
