- What is benaGene?
benaGene is composed of two compounds already found within your body: the bio-identical human metabolite oxaloacetic acid (oxaloacetate in water) and Vitamin C. Oxaloacetate is central to metabolism and is found in every cell of your body.
- Why should I take benaGene?
There are many reasons:
1) Within the last five years, there have been several studies by major universities documenting that an increase in the NAD+/NADH ratio results in statistically significant increases in lifespan and health-span in laboratory animals. Equally as exciting, this same increase in the NAD+/NADH ratio has also been shown to increase individual human cell lifespan in vitro. benaGene is a bio-identical human metabolite that increases the NAD+/NADH ratio, and has been proven to result a 25% increase in lifespan in laboratory animals (p < 0.001). Health-span of the animals is also remarkably increased.
2) Clinical trials using oxaloacetate have documented significant glucose level reductions in diabetic patients. A separate study in non-diabetic patients documented a reduction in the amplitude of glucose swings, allowing better overall blood sugar management. No negative side effects were reported. Although benaGene lowers high glucose levels, it does not cause hypoglycemia (abnormally low glucose levels) in non-diabetic patients.
3) benaGene is a powerful anti-oxidant, and has been shown to protect neurological tissue, pancreatic tissue and eye tissue.
- Other benaGene benefits
Anecdotal benefits reported in Canada and Europe (where the product has been on the market for several years), other than an increase in lifespan and better glucose management include the following:
1) Reduction in sugar cravings.
2) Improved energy.
3) Improvement in sleep.
4) Reduction in constipation.
5) Reduction in the ability to create and store fat.
Individual results may vary.
- If I am taking resveratrol, should I also take benaGene?
Resveratrol is thought to work by stimulating the Sirtuin proteins which use NAD+ as a substrate. benaGene works by making more NAD+ available. The two compounds can work synergistically.
- Is there proof that benaGene increases Lifespan?
Yes, but only in animals. To properly conduct a statistically valid test in humans, we would need 130 years. Note that calorie restriction has also not been proven in humans, but has been proven in yeast, worms, flies, guppies, spiders, mice, rats, dogs, and a 20-year study just confirmed that monkeys also live significantly longer (and healthier) under calorie restriction.
Human populations that have undergone reduced calorie consumption (without stavation) also have higher percentages of persons over 100 years old.
