Looks like the key to
hold back ageing has finally been found.
A new research has
found that ruby red fruit slows down the ageing process by prompting cells to
recycle and rebuild themselves.
Amazentis SA, an
innovative life sciences company, announced a collaborative publication with
the École Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), demonstrating that the
company's lead product candidate, urolithin A, improves mitochondrial and
muscle function, resulting in enhanced muscle strength and endurance during
aging.
Amazentis is
presently evaluating urolithin A in a first human clinical trial with results
expected in 2017.
Urolithin A is
generated by gut microflora as a natural metabolite of ellagitannins, a class
of compounds found in the pomegranate and other fruits and nuts.
"We are excited
to publish the first data that demonstrate the effects of this gut metabolite
on mitochondrial and muscle function," commented lead author Johan Auwerx.
"We believe this
research is a milestone in current anti-aging efforts, which have previously
focused on traditional pharmaceutical modalities, and illustrates the
opportunity of rigorously tested nutritional bioactive agents that we consider
to have outstanding potential for human health," he added.
The study has been
published in Nature Medicine.
