ac-11® Cat's Claw Aqueous Extract (Uncaria tomentosa)

ac-11® is an all-natural, safe, and effective aqueous extract of Uncaria tomentosa, a medicinal plant indigenous to the Amazon rainforest. Manufactured using a proprietary process, this extract provides a broad spectrum of health benefits, primarily directed towards systemic DNA repair, environmental stress, infection, immunosenescence and aging. 

Scientists have determined that when the body is subjected to external stressors such as overexposure to the Sun (UV radiation), strenuous exercise, pollution, and/or the general effects of aging, our DNA is damaged. Such cumulative DNA damage has been scientifically confirmed as a causative factor in the age-onset disease. 

In a series of peer-reviewed scientific and clinical studies conducted by third-party laboratories and university medical centers, ac-11® has been proven to help the body’s natural ability to repair its own DNA. The primary active ingredients of ac-11® are formed by the complex molecular chains known as CAEs (Carboxy Alkyl Esters). CAEs are responsible for approximately 90% of ac-11®’s therapeutic benefits. Studies demonstrate that this patented technology: 

• Increases telomere length in a cell (Patent No.: US 10,098,922B1)
• Helps the body’s natural ability to repair its own DNA 
• Enhances the immune system by increasing the life cycle of white blood cells
• Repairs neural function damaged by overexposure to high decibel noise
• Helps to normalize the expression of NF-KB, thereby regulating the cellular response to systemic inflammation
• Maintains telomere length and integrity during the process of cellular mitosis 
• Increases production of natural collagen III, a form of collagen associated with soft, supple, youthful-looking skin 

ac-11® differs from all other Uncaria tomentosa extracts, most of which are sold under the common name “cat’s claw,” in that its molecular composition is distinct. Such distinction is achieved through an ultra-filtration process that produces a low weight (less than 10,000 Daltons) bioavailable, scientifically indole alkaloid free (less than 0.05 ppm) extract.   The inner bark of the plant (Uncaria tomentosa) used to manufacture ac-11® is harvested in the Amazon rainforests of Brazil and Peru utilizing an eco-friendly and renewable process.  

2-HOBA (as Hobamine®)

Hobamine™, or 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA), is a naturally occurring compound in Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat that is at the forefront of new developments to support cellular health, particularly as we age. Hobamine™ (2-HOBA) works by rapidly capturing specific reactive compounds formed by oxidative stress.   This capture prevents those compounds from binding to and damaging other cellular components like proteins, lipids, or DNA and impeding normal function of the cell.  

An NIH-funded study found that Hobamine™ supplementation led to positive changes in 15 inflammatory biomarkers associated with immune system balance in both younger and older adults. Hobamine™ works by scavenging pro-inflammatory reactive lipids, helping maintain immune homeostasis, and supporting your immune system's ability to stay in balance even when exposed to oxidative stressors. Hobamine™ has been shown to promote normal cell function in brain cells, blood vessels, and heart, lung, and immune cells from the effects of oxidative stress, which helps to support healthy function. Hobamine™ is an emerging solution for anyone experiencing the signs of premature aging due to oxidative stress.

L-Ergothioneine (as MitoPrime®) NEW higher dose:

Ergothioneine is a unique amino acid, synthesized by bacteria and fungi, with mushrooms being the richest dietary source. Since its discovery over a century ago, ergothioneine’s distinctive properties have fascinated researchers, leading to growing evidence of its powerful cellular protective capabilities. Recent studies suggest that ergothioneine is a full-spectrum cyto-restorative, defending and repairing cells—including critical structures like DNA and mitochondria—against a wide range of endogenous and exogenous stressors. Its high concentration in mitochondria points to a specialized role in shielding mitochondrial DNA from oxidative damage, a key factor in aging and cellular dysfunction.

Oral supplementation of ergothioneine has been shown to significantly raise its levels in plasma and whole blood, ensuring systemic protection. In a pivotal study, cells exposed to oxidative stress and treated with ergothioneine exhibited remarkable telomere lengthening and a reduction in telomere shortening after just eight weeks. Moreover, ergothioneine treatment boosted telomerase activity—the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length—which plays a critical role in cellular longevity.

Another groundbreaking study examined the relationship between ergothioneine levels and mortality in a cohort of 3,200 Swedish adults. Among 112 compounds analyzed, ergothioneine showed the strongest association with reduced mortality. Higher blood levels of ergothioneine were linked to a significant decrease in the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular-related deaths, and the development of heart disease. These compelling findings have led to ergothioneine being referred to as the ‘longevity vitamin,’ underscoring its potential as a powerful contributor to healthspan and lifespan.

Spermidine (as Puremidine®) NEW higher dose:

Spermidine is a polyamine compound found naturally in most living organisms and certain foods.  It has been studied for its potential health benefits since the early 1970’s.  Spermidine is believed to have anti-aging properties that can protect against cellular damage and enhance cell function.  Research has shown that it may improve heart health, increase longevity, and support healthy inflammation levels through the body.  Studies have also demonstrated that spermidine can help boost cognitive function and memory by stimulating the release of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) and increasing the number of synaptic connections in the brain.  Another potential benefit of spermidine is its ability to reduce oxidative stress and improve mitochondrial function.  Spermidine has been shown to help protect our cells from damage of aging, which leads to a host of age-related disease.  Research has shown that when spermidine is supplemented, it can help lengthen telomeres and restore their protective effects.  It also helps improve cell metabolism, which can result in increased energy production and better overall health. 

Sulforaphane Glucosinolate (as Activated BroccoRaphanin®)

Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate derived from the metabolite glucoraphanin, is a powerful phytonutrient found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. Extensive research has highlighted sulforaphane’s numerous health benefits, particularly its ability to reduce oxidative stress and regulate inflammation, two key factors in chronic disease and aging.

In addition to its therapeutic potential, sulforaphane has been studied for its ability to enhance the body’s natural defense systems. It activates a range of protective enzymes that shield cells and DNA from damage caused by environmental stressors and toxins. This activation promotes the body’s innate detoxification processes, helping to eliminate harmful substances at the cellular level.

A key component in this process is the enzyme myrosinase, which is essential for the conversion of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane. This enzyme, present in cruciferous plants, is released during chewing or chopping, initiating the activation of sulforaphane. In products like Telomere Prime, the inclusion of myrosinase ensures optimal conversion and bioavailability of sulforaphane, maximizing its protective and detoxifying effects.
