Dietary supplement against atherosclerosis

From Longevity Wiki

A scientifically proven dietary supplement that will allow people with initial forms of atherosclerosis to prolong their lives:

1. ß-cyclodextrin (a cheap prophylactic agent that reduces blood cholesterol levels);

2. acarbose (a prophylactic agent that reduces blood glucose levels);

3. homogenate of 2-3 week old red cabbage sprouts (contains sulforaphane, tocopherols and flavones);

4. celery homogenate (contains apigenin - protects NAD+, quercetin - senolytic); resveratrol metabolite Lunularin (Unfortunately, can cause severe allergies)

5. Nicotinic acid (a cheap precursor to NAD+); GPR109A receptor activator.

6. Homogenate of a mixture of hazelnuts (its oil contains palmitoleic acid) with flax seeds (20%). This homogenate gives a pleasant taste to the product. You can use macadamia nuts instead of hazelnuts.

7. Cocoa powder. Gives a pleasant taste to the product and is also rich in microelements (such as calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, zinc). Contains flavonoids, caffeine and theobromine.

This cheap and effective dietary supplement against aging and for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases - the main cause (about 50%) of all deaths can be stored in a refrigerator for a long time in disposable vacuum packagings. All components are natural, cheap and easy to produce. Take 1-2 times a week with food.

JUSTIFICATION

ß-cyclodextrin allows you to quickly turn into powder the liquid homogenates listed below and therefore serves as the basis of the drug, and also contributes to the safety of all the listed components during storage. In addition, feeding ß-cyclodextrin leads to a decrease in blood cholesterol levels and promotes regression of atherosclerotic plaques.[1][2][3][4]

Acarbose is a medicine used under the name glucobay to prevent diabetes. In small quantities - 25 mg (1/4 of the usual medicinal dose) it can be used by healthy people. From the official instructions: “In patients with impaired glucose tolerance, regular administration of acarbose leads to a reduction in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus by 25%. In addition, they significantly reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (by 49%) and heart attack myocardium (by 91%)." The intestinal environment – the microbiome – also improves.[5][6][7]

In the future, it is planned to replace acarbose with a homogenate of buckwheat sprouts treated with 0.05% NaHCO3 for 96 hours before harvesting.[8]

Homogenate of red cabbage sprouts - retains a huge amount of vitamins, contains many times more carotene and vitamin C (compared to traditional white cabbage). In addition, anthocyanins - substances that color cabbage in its characteristic color - protect the walls of blood vessels, strengthen and make them elastic. In addition, sprouts are rich in tocopherol, 40 times more than in mature cabbage[9] and reduce inflammatory processes. To facilitate homogenization, the starting material can be cooled with liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide (dry ice) and then mixed with ß-cyclodextrin.[10][11]

Celery homogenate contains apigenin (4', 5, 7-trihydroxyflavone) - a flavone that is reported to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties, and also protects the skin from aging. Apigenin is an inhibitor of CD38 NADase (activity which increases with aging and leads to an age-related decrease in NAD and mitochondrial dysfunction) protects the body from premature aging.[12][13][14][15][16][17]

In addition, celery contains Lunularin, a derivative of resveratrol.

Unfortunately, celery can cause a severe allergic reaction and is therefore not suitable for everyone.

ß-cyclodextrin is an excellent ingredient for masking the unpleasant taste of celery homogenate & an excellent preservative that protects other components from exposure to light and also improves the absorption of other components (for example, apigenin) - they dissolve better in the stomach.[18][19]

In addition to apigenin, celery contains quercetin, a senolytic that destroys old cells that harm the body with their secretions. For its better absorption, ß-cyclodextrin is also required.[20][21][22]

Celery contains dietary fiber, reduces hypertension and prevents platelet aggregation (because it contains coumarin derivatives).[23]

Nicotinic acid, also known as niacin, (a cheap precursor to NAD+); its benefits are known - nicotinic acid, through its receptor GPR109A, fights atherosclerosis.[24] It is important to note that unlike nicotinic acid, nicotinamide does not directly affect the GPR109A receptor.[25]

Additionally, niacin supplementation is known to increase NAD+ levels as well as DNA repair efficiency and improve genomic stability.[26]

Palmitoleic acid from hazelnut homogenate (or macadamia nuts) protects the body from type 2 diabetes and chronic inflammation, and prevents atherosclerosis.[27][28][29][30]

Cocoa powder reduces the risk of stroke (at least in women) and improves taste.[31][32]

In the future, it may be possible to partially replace cocoa powder with sorghum seed bran extract (sorghum bran is known to be rich in flavonoids - there are more of them than in blueberries.[33][34][35]
