LANSERHOF LAB Longevity Set
Scientifically developed micronutrient combination for a modern healthy aging strategy.
The Longevity Set combines two specially developed formulations:
1. Leucine Complex
2. GlyNAC Complex
Both products pursue different nutritional approaches and complement each other in their design. While the Leucine Complex combines high-quality essential amino acids with selected vitamins, the GlyNAC Complex provides the two amino acids glycine and N-acetyl-L-cysteine – two precursors of the body's own antioxidant glutathione.
What Does Longevity Mean?
Longevity describes the goal of extending not only lifespan, but above all healthspan – meaning to remain physically and mentally vital for as long as possible.
The focus is on scientifically investigated factors such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and the support of central metabolic processes at the cellular level.
With increasing age, muscle protein synthesis, energy metabolism, and the body's ability to compensate for oxidative stress change, among other things. For this reason, targeted nutrient strategies are increasingly coming into focus in longevity research. The Leucine Complex supplies the essential amino acid L-leucine as well as selected B vitamins and supplements a protein-conscious diet with a view to maintaining muscle mass in old age. The GlyNAC Complex combines glycine and N-acetyl-L-cysteine – two amino acids that serve as building blocks for the body's own glutathione synthesis.
Together, the Longevity Set combines two scientifically founded nutritional approaches: supporting muscle health and providing selected amino acids for central cellular metabolic processes.
The Science Behind the Longevity Set
Science is the foundation of every Lanserhof Lab formulation. The Longevity Set combines carefully selected ingredients whose nutritional properties and scientific background have been intensively studied – developed based on current research and modern findings in longevity science.
1. Muscle Health
With increasing age, muscle sensitivity to protein intake decreases ("anabolic resistance").
Leucine is considered the essential amino acid with the strongest signaling effect on muscle protein synthesis via the mTOR pathway and is therefore the subject of numerous nutritional studies. Meta-analyses show benefits, particularly in older adults, regarding muscle protein synthesis and the maintenance of lean muscle mass within the framework of adequate protein supply and physical activity.
2. Cellular Glutathione Production
Glutathione is one of the most important intracellular antioxidants in the human body. Among other things, glycine and cysteine are required for its endogenous synthesis. N-acetyl-L-cysteine serves as a stable source of cysteine.
Current research on GlyNAC:
The combination of glycine and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (GlyNAC) is the subject of a growing number of clinical investigations. A randomized, placebo-controlled study in older adults investigated whether GlyNAC supplementation could influence various age-associated metabolic parameters. The authors report changes in various biomarkers, including parameters of glutathione metabolism, oxidative stress, and physical performance. Due to the limited number of participants, further studies are needed to confirm these results.
Longevity begins at the cellular level
The Longevity Set combines two scientifically based formulations with different nutritional focuses. Developed for people who consciously supplement their diet and are intensely interested in the topics of healthy aging and cell health.
