Scientists have focused intensely on finding out how calorie restriction so radically extends life span. In response to reduced calorie intake, beneficial "youth" genes are activated while detrimental "senescence" genes are disabled. These favorable gene expression changes play a critical role in the ability of calorie restriction to slow aging.
The incredible news is that a select group of nutrients has been discovered that trigger many of the same favorable mechanisms (including more youthful gene expression patterns) as caloric restriction. Among the most promising caloric restriction mimetics and enhancers are resveratrol, pterostilbene, quercetin, and grape seed polyphenols, along with black tea extract. These nutrients have been shown to generate many of the same effects in the body as caloric restriction, without significant dietary modification.1-8 In particular, they help "mimic" caloric restriction’s favorable impact on genes that influence the aging process.
This new Calorie Restriction Mimetic Formula includes resveratrol, pterostilbene, quercetin, grape seed polyphenols, and black tea extract to provide even broader-spectrum gene expression support in one nutritional formula.
This supplement should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary.
