As we age, our bodies undergo changes that can cause a mild but constant inflammation known as inflammaging. This chronic inflammation is linked to conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, certain natural mechanisms, like sirtuins,
Aging is a complex process that affects all living beings. As we age, our cells and organs undergo a series of changes that make them more vulnerable to various diseases. But what really causes these changes? And, most importantly, is
Aging is a complex biological process that affects all multicellular organisms, characterized by a progressive decline in cellular function and increased vulnerability to diseases. This phenomenon manifests through physiological changes impacting overall health, such as DNA damage accumulation, increased oxidative
Understanding oxidative stress Oxidative stress is a condition that arises when there is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body’s ability to neutralize these harmful molecules. ROS are highly reactive molecules that can damage
Stilbenes are phytochemicals, a subclass of polyphenolic compounds. They are naturally found in a wide variety of plant based dietary sources such as grapes, blueberries, red wine, and some other plants. Among the well-known stilbenes are resveratrol, which is the
What is longevity? In demography, we define longevity as “length of life” or “life expectancy”. The most commonly used measure is “life expectancy at birth”, which considers all causes of death at all ages for a specific generation. What are the main
What is ionizing radiation? Radiation can be classified according to its effect on matter. Normally, “radiation” refers to ionizing radiation[1], meaning the separation of electrons from its atoms, such as cosmic rays, X-rays, as well as the radiation emitted by
CIRCE Scientific has recently carried out a capital increase in which it has raised 1.7 million euros (>1.8 million USD). The capital increase has been attended by current shareholders and has led to the entry into the company of new
Stability Issues in Dietary Supplements Most nutraceutical ingredients show degradation. Dietary supplements usually contain a mixture of ingredients, mostly natural products and plant extracts. Ingredients used to be of natural origin, but sometimes a synthetic product (identical to the natural one)
The project DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHLY BIOAVAILABLE POLYPHENOL BASED COMBINATIONS TO PREVENT AND TREAT OXIDATIVE STRESS AND CELLULAR DNA DAMAGE OF DIFFERENT AETYOLOGIES, leaded by CIRCE Scientific, has been selected to receive over 1,1M Eur in combined grants and soft loans.
What is coenzyme Q10? CoQ10 stands for Coenzyme Q10. It can be found in animals as an endogenous substance, in other words, we have it in our body to support relevant physiological functions. But its level decreases with age, which
A case study What is Vitamin D3? Vitamin D is a fat-soluble prohormone that stimulates calcium absorption in the gut and maintains adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentration. Vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 are the main forms of Vitamin D used by
