Overview
A polyamine found in wheat germ and aged cheese. It triggers autophagy (cellular cleanup), helping skin cells recycle damaged components. High spermidine intake is associated with younger biological age and improved hair growth.

This item supports, tracks, or is required for the following health goals:
Promotes cellular rejuvenation.
As we age, cellular garbage accumulates within skin cells, leading to senescence (zombie cells). Spermidine upregulates autophagy, the process that cleans out this debris, allowing the cell to function like a younger version of itself.
It also prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles, supporting hair density.
