Cell Boost

What is spermidine?
Spermidine is a vital, natural substance that occurs in the human organism and can also be found in foods such as wheat germ, soybeans and nuts. In our Zell Boost formula, spermidine is obtained from high-quality wheat germ extract. The manufacturing process makes it gluten-free.

How does spermidine promote healthy ageing?
An increased intake of spermidine protects against cardiovascular diseases, cancer and metabolic diseases and preserves memory performance. The reason for this is that spermidine stimulates autophagy. Autophagy is the body's own cell rejuvenation and clean-up process that breaks down or repairs damaged cell components. This keeps the cells healthy and protects them from disease. Autophagy can also be stimulated by fasting. Both dietary supplements with spermidine and regular periods of fasting are therefore particularly relevant with advancing age, as autophagy declines over time(S, S). It has also been shown that supplementation with spermidine can prevent hair loss and strengthen hair growth(S, S).

What potential does spermidine have to increase life expectancy?
A population study on humans showed that a spermidine-rich diet is associated with a longer life expectancy(S, S).
A study on mice has shown that an increased spermidine intake from an advanced age (70% of life expectancy) increases life expectancy by an average of around 7% and from a young age (16% of life expectancy) by around 11%(S).

What is the dosage of spermidine in Zell Boost?
Our Zell Boost contains an optimally balanced daily dose of 1 mg spermidine from high-quality wheat germ extract, for both men and women.

What are the side effects of spermidine?
The EFSA has classified a daily dose of up to 6 mg as safe. There are no known side effects from the intake of spermidine. Spermidine is a naturally occurring substance in the body.

What is alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG)?

Alpha-ketoglutarate, also known as AKG, is a vital molecule that occurs naturally in the human body. It plays a central role in the citrate cycle, the biochemical process responsible for energy conversion in our cells.

How does AKG promote healthy ageing?

Appreciated by athletes, confirmed by science AKG is not only popular with athletes as a dietary supplement, but is also appreciated in scientific circles for its many health-promoting properties. AKG promotes protein synthesis and inhibits protein breakdown in the muscles(S), which makes it particularly attractive for competitive athletes and fitness enthusiasts. But that's not all: AKG also acts as an important regulator of epigenetic changes and is particularly important in the context of age-related degradation. With advancing age, AKG levels in the body decline, which can be compensated for by supplementation. AKG can therefore not only improve bone and muscle health, but also accelerate the healing processes of injuries and wounds.

What potential does AKG have to increase life expectancy?

The potential of AKG to improve life expectancy has been proven by clinical studies and model studies. One clinical study found that taking AKG could reduce the biological age of participants by an impressive 8 years(S). In animal models, particularly in mice, AKG supplementation extended lifespan by an average of 12%. Amazingly, AKG also improved the quality of aging by increasing healthy lifespan by more than 40%(S).

What is the dosage of AKG in Zell Boost?

Zell Boost for women contains 500 mg AAKG (arganine alpha-ketoglutarate).

- 170 mg AKG

- 330 mg arginine (an amino acid that contributes to muscle building and accelerated wound healing)

Zell Boost for men contains 550 mg AAKG (arganine alpha-ketoglutarate).

- 190 mg AKG

- 360 mg arginine (an amino acid that contributes to muscle building and accelerated wound healing)

What are the side effects of AKG?

The EFSA has classified AKG as safe and has not set a maximum daily value. There are no known side effects from the intake of AKG. AKG is a naturally occurring molecule in the body.

What is niacinamide?

The essential vitamin B3 derivative for cellular energy and longevity Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3 and an essential precursor of the molecule NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). NAD+ is present in every cell of the human body and plays a central role in numerous biological processes.

How does niacinamide promote healthy ageing?

NAD+ is the fuel of the mitochondria, the power plants of our cells. NAD+ is essential in the conversion of food into energy and plays a crucial role in maintaining DNA integrity. The molecule thus ensures healthy cell function to protect our body from ageing and disease and to boost our muscle strength(S, S). For maximum effectiveness, niacinamide should be combined with TMG (trimethylglycine), as both act synergistically as NAD+ boosters(S).

What potential does niacinamide have to increase life expectancy?

Without sufficient NAD+ levels, our cells are unable to produce energy. With increasing age, the NAD+ in the body decreases (at 50 years of age the level is still approx. 50%, at 80 years of age only approx. 1-10% compared to young adults).

Supplementation with an NAD+ precursor such as niacinamide, which is converted into NAD+ by the body, helps to maintain NAD+ levels in the body and slow down the ageing process of the cell(S, S).

In studies with mammals, NAD+ boosters have been associated with increased life expectancy(S). For example, a 5% increase in life expectancy was even shown in older mice that only took NAD+ boosters in the last eighth of their lives(S).

What is the dosage of niacinamide in Zell Boost?

Zell Boost for women contains 240 mg niacinamide.

Zell Boost for men contains 300 mg niacinamide.

What are the side effects of niacinamide?

The EFSA has classified a daily dose of up to 900 mg as safe. Studies show that up to 3 g per day does not cause any side effects. In contrast to other forms of vitamin B3, niacinamide does not trigger the unpleasant flush reaction.

What is betaine?

Trimethylglycine, also known as betaine or TMG for short, is a molecule produced by the body. It is also found in foods such as broccoli, beet and spinach.

How does betaine promote healthy ageing?

Betaine plays an essential role as a methyl group donor that significantly influences the control of gene expression. In view of the fact that our DNA contains the blueprint for all cells in our organism, the targeted deactivation of certain functions is becoming increasingly important. In this way, a cell can identify whether it should be a skin or brain cell(S).
Another important aspect of betaine is its ability to effectively lower homocysteine levels in blood plasma. This reduction is of great relevance, as elevated homocysteine levels are considered a trigger for cardiovascular diseases and strokes(S, S).

Research results also show that betaine can have a positive effect on various chronic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's disease, due to its anti-inflammatory properties(S).

It should be noted that NAD+ boosters such as niacinamide should always be taken in combination with betaine, as these boosters deplete methyl groups(S).

What is the dosage of betaine in Zell Boost?

Zell Boost for women contains 120 mg betaine.

Zell Boost for men contains 150 mg betaine.

What are the side effects of betaine?

The EFSA has classified a daily dose of up to 400 mg as safe. Betaine is a naturally occurring molecule in the body.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule that is essential for moisturizing your skin and keeping your joints supple. Although hyaluronic acid is often found in anti-ageing cosmetic products, studies show that it also has an impressive effect from the inside out as a dietary supplement.

How does hyaluronic acid promote healthy ageing?

Taking hyaluronic acid orally has been shown to minimize skin wrinkles and improve overall skin condition(S). Hyaluronic acid also has a protective effect on your joints. It is an important component of synovial fluid, which acts as a natural shock absorber and reduces joint wear and tear. As we age, the body's natural hyaluronic acid levels decrease, which can lead to joint problems and skin ageing. A dietary supplement containing hyaluronic acid can be an effective solution(S).

What is the dosage of hyaluronic acid in Zell Boost?

Zell Boost for women contains 250 mg of hyaluronic acid.

Zell Boost for men contains 150 mg hyaluronic acid.

What are the side effects of hyaluronic acid?

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has classified a daily dose of up to 430 mg hyaluronic acid as safe. As a naturally occurring polysaccharide in the human body, hyaluronic acid is generally very well tolerated.

What is vitamin D3?

Vitamin D3 is also known as the sun vitamin. This is because the vitamin is synthesized in our skin when it is exposed to the sun. Unfortunately, sunbathing increases the risk of skin cancer. Although the vitamin is also found in some foods, such as salmon, tuna or some mushrooms, it is only present in such small quantities that the daily requirement cannot be met through food.

How does vitamin D3 promote healthy ageing?

Vitamin D3 is essential for the normal function of our immune system and contributes to the normal function of bones, teeth and muscles by absorbing and storing calcium and phosphorus.

Many organs and tissues of the body have receptors for vitamin D3, suggesting important functions beyond muscle and bone health(S).

Studies show that higher levels of vitamin D3 are associated with significantly lower cancer rates, lower risk of cardiovascular disease and fewer negative emotions(S, S, S, S, S). In addition, increased intake of vitamin D3 has been associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality(S).

What is the dosage of vitamin D3 in Zell Boost?

Zell Boost for men and women both contain 0.015 mg of vitamin D3. This is 100% of the EFSA recommended daily dose.


What are the side effects of vitamin D3?

The EFSA has classified a daily dose of up to 0.1 mg as safe(EFSA).

What is vitamin K2?

Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone, is one of the vitamins that is generally deficient in the Western diet. Examples include beef liver, eel and some fermented products.

How does vitamin K2 promote healthy ageing?

Vitamin K2 helps to store calcium in the bones and at the same time prevent deposits in blood vessels and kidneys. An adequate supply of vitamin K2 can improve bone quality, reduce bone fractures and minimize vascular calcification(S, S). New research suggests that an increased intake of vitamin K2 is associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality in a given period(S).

What is the dosage of vitamin K2 in Zell Boost?

Zell Boost for women and men both contain 0.007 mg of vitamin K2. This is 100% of the daily dose recommended by the EFSA.

What are the side effects of vitamin K2?

The EFSA has classified vitamin K2 as safe and has not set a maximum daily value. Studies show that up to 10 mg per day does not cause any side effects(EFSA).

What is vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin for the body, but it cannot be produced by the body itself. It is found in animal foods, often because animal foods themselves are supplemented with B12.

How does vitamin B12 promote healthy ageing?

The risk of vitamin B12 deficiency increases with age. A vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to hematological, neuropsychological and cardiovascular diseases, among other things, and is also associated with a decline in cognitive performance(S). Even concentrations in the lower normal range are associated with poorer memory performance(S). Furthermore, a vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to impaired DNA synthesis and genomic instability(S). An adequate supply of vitamin B12 supports nerve function, the formation of red blood cells, cell division and DNA synthesis.

What is the dosage of vitamin B12 in Zell Boost?

Zell Boost for men and women both contain 0.004 mg of vitamin B12. This is 100% of the daily dose recommended by the EFSA.

What are the side effects of vitamin B12?

The EFSA has classified vitamin B12 as safe and has not set a maximum daily value. Even with daily doses of up to 0.025 mg, no side effects have been identified(EFSA).

What is folic acid?

Folic acid or vitamin B9 is an essential vitamin from the vitamin B group. Our body cannot produce folic acid itself, so we have to cover our needs through our diet. In addition to dietary supplements, folic acid is also found in foods such as pickles, Brussels sprouts and sprouts.

How does folic acid promote healthy ageing?

Folic acid acts as a coenzyme in single carbon transfers in the synthesis of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and in the metabolism of amino acids. One of the most important folate-dependent reactions is the conversion of homocysteine into methionine during the synthesis of S-adenosyl-methionine, an important methyl donor. Folic acid is also necessary for the methylation of deoxyuridylate to thymidylate in the formation of DNA. This process is essential for proper cell division(S).

Low levels of folic acid in the blood are associated with poor mental function and an increased risk of dementia. Even technically normal but low folic acid levels can increase the risk of mental impairment in older adults(S). Adequate folic acid intake may also protect against Alzheimer's disease (S). Folic acid also supports our immune system and reduces fatigue(EFSA).

What is the dosage of folic acid in Zell Boost?

Zell Boost for men and women both contain 0.02 mg of biologically active folic acid (folate: L-5-MTHF). This corresponds to 100% of the daily dose recommended by the EFSA.

What are the side effects of folic acid?

The EFSA has set a maximum daily value of 1mg for folic acid supplements(EFSA). No side effects have been observed up to a daily value of 5mg.

What is biotin?

Biotin, also known as vitamin H or vitamin B7, is an essential vitamin from the group of B vitamins. The word "biotin" comes from the ancient Greek word "biotos", which means "life" or "nourishment".

How does biotin promote healthy ageing?
