Curcuminoid Complex – Turmeric Oleoresin and Turmeric Oil

Turmeric oleoresin is an extract of the bright gold turmeric root, Curcuma longa, and contains both curcumin and turmeric essential oil. Curcumin demonstrates potent sirtuin-activating properties in clinical research. It is shown to enhance the expression of a sirtuin known as SIRT1, which alleviates damage induced by beta-amyloid, a malformed protein involved in the pathogenesis of brain-related disease.

Quercetin

Quercetin is a versatile phytonutrient that has been shown to support several aspects of healthy aging. A powerful antioxidant, quercetin has been shown to be a strong regulator of immune activity and AMPK activation, both important aspects of healthy aging. In the longevity space, research shows that quercetin supports energy via mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular health and integrity through autophagic and cellular senescent activity.

Resveratrol

Resveratrol is another powerful antioxidant that supports healthy energy levels through NAD+ production and mitochondrial biogenesis. In the presence of NAD+ and resveratrol, longevity genes called sirtuins are activated. Sirtuins are cellular proteins that regulate numerous vital cellular functions including inflammation modulation, energy metabolism, neuronal function, stress resistance, and healthspan.

Pterostilbene

Pterostilbene is one of the main phenolic compounds found in blueberries. It is structurally similar to resveratrol but has some unique properties and benefits. Pterostilbene has been shown to support normal cellular growth, glutathione and super oxide dismutase status and healthy inflammation. It has also been shown to promote DNA integrity and autophagy. 2, 3 There are 2 forms of Pterostilbene: cis and trans. Quicksilver Scientific has selected transpterostilbene for its widely known bioavailability properties.
