Processes That Improve Longevity

Process Description
Activation of Oct4, Sox2, and Klf4 (OSK) genes Activation of the OSK genes which rejuvenates the cells to a younger state
AMPK activation Activates AMPK (adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase)
Anti-Cancer Effects Reduces the formation or proliferation of tumors
Antioxidant effect Reduces oxidative stress
Autophagy The breaking down of damaged or dysfunctional components of the cell into amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, and other products to use elsewhere. This process repairs and rejuvenates the cell.
DNA Repair Helps DNA repair, which contributes to genomic stability
Heavy Metal Chelation Binds to some heavy metals, thus making them easier to remove from the body
Insulin Sensitivity Response to insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels
Mitochondrial biogenesis Creates new mitochondria, which can increase the cell's ability to produce energy
Mitophagy Recycles dysfunctional mitochondria. It is a type of autophagy that targets mitochondria
