Spermidine

Spermidine is a natural compound that is found in various living organisms, including humans. It plays an important role in cellular processes and has been studied for its potential health benefits. Spermidine is known for its ability to induce a process called autophagy, which helps remove damaged or dysfunctional cellular components, promoting cellular renewal and overall cell health. It has been investigated for its potential effects on aging-related conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders. Spermidine can be found in certain foods like wheat germ, soybeans, and fruits, and it is also available as a dietary supplement. While research is ongoing, spermidine shows promise as a natural compound that may have positive impacts on cellular health and age-related conditions.

Spermidine may also work by inhibiting an enzyme responsible for the inflammatory response to gluten. By competing with other substances, spermidine prevents the enzyme from reacting with gliadin, a key component of gluten, resulting in a different immune response. As a result, spermidine may actually offer protection to individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities by bypassing the usual immune response triggered by gluten. A small percentage of people may have difficulty tolerating spermidine supplementation, but the majority, including those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, experience no negative side effects
