Resveratrol and AGEs - Anti-aging at the cellular level

By the time you can vote, you’re already aging at the cellular level. That’s right, your cells are getting damaged, your DNA is getting bombarded, and things are headed downhill. A lifetime of this cellular damage eventually contributes to age-related cellular deterioration, causes various diseases, and contributes to overall decline.

AGEsOne of the 4 key mechanisms of cellular aging is what are known as AGE proteins. AGE stands for Advanced Glycation End products. Excess accumulation of AGEs can cause cellular damage that can compromise cell integrity and longevity. AGEs affect nearly every type of cell and molecule in the body and are thought to be major factors in aging and age related chronic diseases (including diabetes, arthritis, and more).

AGEs are formed within the body in response to high blood sugar levels and also by eating foods cooked at high temperatures. Think french fries, grilled burgers, potato chips and more! (More at The Arthritis Foundation.)

Our bodies can handle some AGEs but when we get too much, it’s bad news.

What to do?

Well, for starters, reduce your consumption of foods cooked at high temperatures. No, I’m not going to totally give up my french fries - I love them! But I will cut back. Replace those fries with some steamed broccoli and you’re even better off.

Second, take a resveratrol supplement. Be careful which one you choose. In Laboratory studies, Vivix ingredients have been shown to be 10X more powerful than resveratrol alone in slowing AGE protein formation.*
