AGEs Cur. Epigenar 30 capsules

Product information for Epigenar AGEs Cur.: Application of Epigenar AGEs Cur.: AGEs, also called Advanced Glycation Endproducts, are mainly formed in food (exogenous glycation) and by metabolic processes (endogenous glycation). The Origin of AGEsAGEs are formed by so-called non-enzymatic glycation (no enzymes are involved) in a number of steps.These steps can take from days to months. The food industry uses the knowledge of the Maillard reaction: a tasty preparation technique in which the browning of food leads to an improvement in taste.However, as we now know, this also has disadvantages.This reaction improves the taste, color, and texture of the prepared product, but it is precisely here that AGEs are formed.Consequences for the bodyAll of this was first described over 100 years ago. Then in 1992, Professor Schmidt discovered these resulting AGEs binding proteins in the form of cell binding receptor RAGE (the R stands for receptor. Interaction with the RAGEs leads to the production of pro-inflammatory substances in the body such as TNF-alpha/beta-actin, VCAM-1, CRP, kappaB, IL-6, eNOS, 8-isoprostanes, etc., which in turn lead to the formation of oxidative stress. Furthermore, the majority of AGEs are excreted through the kidneys. The following nutrients appear to be able to inhibit the formation of AGEs:cinnamon, salvia, garlic, yerba mate, alpha-lipoic acid, thyme, rosemary, benfotiamine (vitamin B1 derivative), green tea, tomato puree, vitamin C, ginseng, curcuma longa, carnosine, milk thistle, and resveratrol.Composition of Epigenar AGEs Cur.: Each capsule contains:Alfa liponzuur 150 mgVitamine B1 (als Thiamine-HCl enThiamine pyrofosfaat) 100 mgGreen tea extract (50% ECGC) 100 mgResveratrol (Polygonum cuspidatum) 75 mgBruinwier extract (4:1) (Ascophyllum nodosum) 45 mgAstragalus extract (50% polysacchariden) 37,5 mgIngredients of Epigenar AGEs Cur.: Alpha-lipoic acid, bulking agent (microcrystalline cellulose), green tea extract, vegicapsule (HPMC), vitamin B1, brown seaweed extract, astragalus extract, anti-caking agent (vegetarian magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide).Usage of Epigenar AGEs Cur.: Take 1 capsule once a day unless otherwise advised by your health professional.Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
