Kinetin : An anti-oxidative LONGEVITY rejuvenator

An anti-oxidative longevity rejuvenator

Ever heard of the plant hormone KINETIN? It’s an anti-oxidative longevity rejuvenator that delays the onset of many cellular and biochemical characteristics associated with the cellular aging of cultured human cells.

Some of the main effects by using the Hayflick system of human fibroblast aging are:

– maintaining the youthful morphology for a much longer period (up to 95% of the completed lifespan)
– reversing senescent morphology.
– maintaining a youthful pattern of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis.
– slowing down the rate of accumulation of age-pigment-like things.

These effects can be best seen as “preventive” effects instead of a reversion of aging. Cells grown continuously stay younger. We achieve these effects without interfering with the maximum proliferative capacity and without inducing any additional cell divisions. This is unlike all other anti-aging things reported for cell cultures for example, FGF, PDGF, ginseng, and carnosine. All those things induce additional cell divisions which can be potentially harmful in terms of making cells move on a path to immortalization (here meaning cancer.)

Kinetin is N6-furfunyadenine, a modified base that can get incorporated in tRNA. … in our experiments, Kinetin is the most effective.

The best natural sources of kinetin-related cytokinins are all germinating seeds and growing tips.
