Spermidine is a natural polyamine compound (C7H19N3). It is found in foods such as aged cheese, mushrooms, and soy products. As a supplement, it is said to help protect the heart from aging, lower blood pressure, and potentially counteract aging by inducing autophagy.
What is Spermidine?
Spermidine is a polyamine compound (C7H19N3) found in ribosomes and living tissues and boasting various metabolic functions within organisms. It was originally isolated from semen.
Good dietary sources of spermidine are aged cheese, mushrooms, soy products, legumes, corn, and whole grains. Spermidine is plentiful in a Mediterranean diet.
The spermidine content in human seminal plasma varies between approx. 15 and 50mg/L (avg. 31 mg/L).
How does Spermidine work?
Spermidine has been reported to protect the heart from aging and prolong the lifespan of mice. In humans, it was correlated with lower blood pressure.
It also was found to reduce the amount of aging in yeast, flies, worms, and human immune cells by inducing autophagy.
