Spermidine, a natural polyamine found in various foods such as soybeans and various types of fruits and vegetables, is emerging as a nutraceutical ingredient due to its potential health benefits. Its properties are attracting significant interest among professionals in the nutraceutical sector.
The name is quite unique and derives from its initial discovery in human seminal fluid.
This substance was first isolated in 1678 by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a pioneer in microscopy, who observed the crystalline substance in seminal fluid.
Hence the name, reflecting its etymological origins linked to seminal fluid ("sperma" in Greek means "seed").
Spermidine was later found in many other cells and tissues of living organisms and has proven to be an important molecule for various biological processes.
Spermidine is associated with cell growth: when metabolism accelerates, spermidine increases, while it decreases when metabolism slows and naturally tends to decline with age.
Benefits of Spermidine
Recent studies have highlighted its role in promoting longevity and supporting the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. This substance has been identified as an important modulator of autophagy, a cellular adaptation mechanism to stress, and the most important pathway for the turnover of significant cell components. Autophagy is, in fact, a "cleaning" process that the body implements to improve its efficiency, allowing it to dispose of waste or damaged cellular components.
Clinical studies have shown that spermidine has a positive effect on neurodegenerative health: it improves cognitive functions and slows the progression of diseases such as dementia. Additionally, it has been found effective in promoting hair growth and wound healing. Thus, it is a powerful natural anti-inflammatory and anti-aging agent, beneficial for heart health, immunity support, and a great ally for memory and a healthy, active brain.
These findings open new perspectives for the development of spermidine-based dietary supplements.
