Spermidine in mice: a natural compound that slows aging?

As we age, our cells gradually deteriorate. Researchers are looking for natural compounds that might slow this process. Spermidine, a substance found in many foods, has shown promise in animals by extending lifespan and reducing age-related diseases.

This review looked at multiple animal studies on spermidine. The studies included fungi, worms, flies, and mice. Researchers measured lifespan and signs of age-related conditions like heart disease and brain decline. The goal was to understand how spermidine works at the cellular level.
