Aging is a complex and multi-factorial process that begins long before we hit old age! The underlying mechanisms and links between a person's genetic make-up, diet, lifestyle, and environment and their optimal health are increasingly being identified, and breakthrough new approaches to increasing "health span" are being developed.

At the cellular level several processes are involved in aging. These include oxidation, which involves free radical production, glycation which involves maintenance of normal blood sugar levels and is related to fat metabolism, inflammation which is related to joint health, DNA repair that is related to maintenance of optimal cellular health, and finally methylation which plays a role in gene express and is directly related to cardiovascular health. Aging also involves sub-optimal cell replication, impaired cell maintenance and impaired cellular repair. Oxidative stress and associated "free radicals" appear to be major exacerbating factors in aging. Scientific research has shown that the accumulation of oxidative damage to cells and cellular components, including DNA, is closely correlated with the aging process.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the chemical inside the nucleus of all cells that carries the genetic blueprint for all living organisms. Damage to our DNA can impact on the quality of our cells as they continually replicate. If the quality of the new cells degrades, the myriad biochemicals, including vital nutrients and minerals that circulate in and among the cells may become deficient. The rapidly expanding field of nutrigenomics focuses on the interaction between bioactive dietary components and the genes.

Recent breakthroughs in genetic science show that you no longer have to be a passive victim of your genetic inheritance. Scientific and medical evidence indicates that lifestyle, environment and dietary factors profoundly influence the aging process and it is also clear that proactive rather than reactive interventions are more important for healthy aging. Proactive interventions include nutritional supplementation, exercise, and mental stimulation.

Understanding this, Suracell designed its revolutionary program to provide unique healthy aging benefits to those from their 30's to their 60's and beyond, where evidence indicates that intervention can positively influence health and well-being and lead to healthier aging. And healthier aging may lead to individuals living a healthier life including improved physical and mental function as they age.

Although aging is inevitable and a normal part of life, evidence strongly indicates that age-related physiological changes can be influenced and do respond to nutritional and lifestyle interventions, indicating that proactive activities can and do profoundly influence how healthfully you age.

Suracell provides a unique range of highly concentrated food supplements designed to support your body's key biological processes related to healthy aging, including your own natural DNA repair process to help you maintain a youthful state for the longest possible time.

Suracell's Core Nutrition AM/PM Essential Genetic Formula is a complete high-density nutritional supplement formulated with over 70 vitamins, minerals, nutraceuticals, botanicals and enzymes essential for healthy aging, combined with a proprietary extract from the Tropical Rainforest botanical Uncaria tomentosa, which is also known as "Cat's Claw" due to its vine structure that resembles cat's claws. This unique ingredient provides compounds called CAEs that work with the body's own natural DNA repair process, providing support for your "Personal Genetic Health!"

Special Rainforest Herbal Extract
Unique compounds, called CAE's found in the rainforest herb Cat's Claw support the body’s normal inflammatory response and also act as anti-oxidants. CAE’s have also been shown to support normal DNA repair. Maintaining normal DNA repair is critical to healthy aging, as damaged DNA can lead to increasingly poor copies as cells replicate. The deterioration in cellular function is believed to be associated with the signs of premature aging.

Resveratrol
Resveratrol is an exciting compound found in the skin and seeds of red and black grapes and in a plant called Japanese Knotweed and preliminary in vitro research suggests it may have important anti-aging benefits. The mechanisms of resveratrol's apparent effects on life extension are not fully understood, but they appear to be related to its effect on the SIRT1 gene. Improved functioning of the SIRT1 gene has been associated with improved functioning of the cellular powerhouses called the mitochondria, as well as with enhanced endurance and vitality, the promotion optimal health, and possibly longevity.

Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 plays an important role in the body's production of energy, as well as being a potent antioxidant. Therefore it is important in supporting cardiovascular and brain health. Because we may not be able to make enough Coenzyme Q10 as we get older, it can be a particularly important part of a healthy aging supplementation program.

Alpha Lipoic Acid
This nutrient appears to act primarily as an anti-oxidant, and may provide protection to our DNA through free radical scavenging. It has also been shown to support cellular uptake of glucose, an important factor in maintaining normal blood sugar levels as we age.

Plus, over 70 high density anti-aging nutrients, including: Whole foods, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, anti-inflammatories, blood sugar modulators, antioxidants, methylating factors, brain function enhancers, cellular energizers, digestive enzymes, probiotics and nucleotides.
