Greetings!  

At times it seems like everything is trying to wear us down. The good news is that some compounds actually protect us from damage-- and we can all use that.  Oxaloacetate (a key ingredient in benaGene) is one of those protective compounds.

Independent research has shown oxaloacetate protects tissues on a molecular and cellular basis.  These protections result in increases in average and maximal lifespan when oxaloacetate is supplemented into the diet (animal data-- human data on lifespan will take 130 years to fully evaluate.......).  Consider some of the specifics:

• Oxaloacetate has been shown to protect pancreatic beta cells (the ones that produce insulin) and inhibit type II diabetes caused by zinc toxicity.
• Oxaloacetate has been shown to protect RPE tissues in the eye (again due to over-exposure to zinc).
• New research now shows that oxaloacetate may now be effective in reducing or eliminating brain damage from acute head injury, epilepsy or stoke if given within 2 hours of the incident.  The mechanism is the reduction of excess glutamate (that leads to neurological damage) through the creation of alpha-ketoglutarate via the enzyme Glutamate-Oxaloacetate Transanimase GOT).
• Oxaloacetate protects cells from aluminum and mercury toxicity by creating an intercellular reductive environment.  Some bacteria actually shift their metabolism to overproduce oxaloacetate in order to live in heavy-metal-rich environments.
• Oxaloacetate has been shown to protect mitochondrial DNA from damage from toxins such as kianic acid.
• Oxaloacetate has been shown to protect tissues from hydrogen peroxide damage.
• Oxaloacetate has been shown to protect tissues from organic toxins such as hydrazine.
• Oxaloacetate is a powerful anti-oxidant and inhibits TBARS production in the brain.

It's nice to know there is some protection on your side-- especially from a human metabolite-- one that is central to energy production.  If you would like to read more information on all these tissue protections, drop us an email and ask for the physician's reference sheet.

benaGene brand oxaloacetate provides 100 times the normal amount of oxaloacetate that is received in a typical diet.  Supplementation with this natural human metabolite provides a mechanism to positively modify enzyme response to mimic a calorie restricted metabolic state.  

benaGene is available from your anti-aging doctor or from our website store at www.benaGene.com
