We take great care to use the highest quality ingredients and to keep out the 'nasties' commonly used in the supplement manufacturing process in our products. We take the same approach that we do when baking a birthday cake for our children: we use the highest quality ingredients - no industrial seed oils such as wheat germ oil that oxidizes rapidly, no magnesium stearate to make the powder flow faster through automated encapsulation equipment (approximately 70% of all magnesium stearate used as 'flow agents' are hydrogenated industrial seed oils), no talc to make the powder denser to fit more compactly into fewer capsules.
We also do not use synthetic spermidine, which is very cheap and often 'cut' into products stating 'wheat germ with spermidine'. Nor do we use synthetically enriched rice bran, wheat germ, buckwheat or other grains that have been soaked in water with synthetic chemicals so that the chemical is taken up by the grain, dried and declared high dose naturally occurring rice bran spermidine or similar.
We choose whole food-derived spermidine because this is the only spermidine that has been tested for safety and efficacy in humans, as opposed to rats. Food derived spermidine comes with the other naturally occurring polyamines, such as spermine for DNA methylation, and putrescine, a precursor to both. Finally, food derived molecules and the prebiotic resistant starch we use with our products interact with the gut biome to selectively feed the bacteria that can make more spermidine for you. Why not take advantage of your body’s own ability to make spermidine and the other polyamines too?
