Cell Anti-Aging Complex - GymBeam

Cell Anti-age Complex contains four standardized plant extracts, four essential vitamins, zinc, and three other functional ingredients in one sachet. That is a total of 12 active ingredients in powder form for preparing a refreshing drink in two fruit flavors: mixed berries and watermelon.

The core of the product consists of plant extracts with a specified active compound content:

• 500 mg of grape skin extract 12:1 with 150 mg of resveratrol
• 126.3 mg of Japanese pagoda tree flower extract 20:1 with 120 mg of quercetin
• 500 mg of wheat germ extract with 1 mg of spermidine
• 100 mg of Haematococcus pluvialis algae with 5 mg of astaxanthin

These are complemented by 250 mg of nicotinamide riboside chloride, 300 mg of betaine, and 60 mg of coenzyme Q10. The formula is completed by vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), vitamin K2 in the MK-7 form, and zinc in the highly absorbable chelated bisglycinate form.

We regularly test the product for heavy metals and microbiological purity.

Resveratrol is a polyphenol from the stilbene group that forms in grape skins. It is among the most extensively studied plant compounds: between 2013 and 2023 alone, 51 meta-analyses were published on it. These examined, among other things, metabolism and oxidative stress.¹

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid from the alga Haematococcus pluvialis, its richest natural source. A systematic review of nine randomized studies examined its effects on signs of skin aging², while a more recent review of fifteen human studies examined oxidative stress and inflammatory markers.³

Nicotinamide riboside is a precursor of the coenzyme NAD⁺, a substance cells need to produce energy. NAD⁺ levels may decline with age, a change that has been studied in human skin and brain tissue.⁴ Clinical studies examine how NAD⁺ levels in the blood change after administration, including how the changes depend on the dose.⁴

Spermidine is a polyamine naturally present in almost all human tissues. The body produces roughly one-third of it; the rest comes from the diet and the activity of gut bacteria.⁵ Research focuses on its role in autophagy, the process by which a cell breaks down its own damaged components.⁵

Coenzyme Q10 is a substance the body produces itself. It is found in mitochondria, where NAD⁺ derived from nicotinamide riboside also functions. A 2023 review concludes that Q10 is essential for a wide range of redox processes, not only in mitochondria but also in other types of cell membranes. The body relies on its own production because it obtains only a small amount from the diet.⁶

With a supplement containing twelve ingredients, it is not only what is in it that matters, but also the form each ingredient takes.

Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) as MK-7 remains in the body significantly longer than the MK-4 form, so one daily dose is sufficient.

Zinc as bisglycinate, a highly absorbable chelated form bound to two glycine molecules.

Nicotinamide riboside at a dose of 250 mg. This is a form of vitamin B3 from which the body produces the coenzyme NAD⁺. Clinical studies have used doses of 100 mg or more, so 250 mg is a commonly used amount in these studies.⁴

The extracts are obtained using water and ethanol, without harsh solvents. Wheat germ is extracted with water, grape skin with ethanol, and Japanese pagoda tree with a combination of both.

The product is gluten-free and suitable for vegans and is manufactured in a facility with ISO 9001, GMP and HACCP systems in place.
