Some supplements that enhance "autophagy"

 A study showed that both natural and decaffeinated coffee can quickly trigger "autophagy" in mice.


Moreover, 1 to 4 hours after drinking coffee, the flux of "autophagy" in each major organ system (liver, muscle, and heart) in the mice increased. The main reason is that a variety of antioxidants in coffee promote the effect of "autophagy".


Curcumin is a natural plant spice that can regulate mitochondrial "autophagy". You can find curcumin in turmeric, or you can take pure curcumin as a supplement.


It is recommended to add black pepper when ingesting curcumin, because after curcumin enters the human body alone, it is difficult to be absorbed and utilized by the body.


Pepper contains a compound called piperine, which can increase the absorption of curcumin by 2000%. A good curcumin supplement must have black pepper extract. 


Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol compound, can also increase cellular "autophagy". We all know that red wine and wine contain a lot of resveratrol, but the resveratrol contained in wine is simply not enough.


There are 200 milligrams of polyphenols and 10 grams of alcohol in a glass of red wine. Therefore, if you want to use red wine to supplement resveratrol, you may lose the watermelon after picking up sesame seeds. The gain is not worth the loss. Taking resveratrol supplements directly may be more effective.


Berberine (berberine), a natural component of Golden Seal (Coptis coptis), can enhance the activation of AMPK (AMP-dependent protein kinase, a key molecule in the regulation of biological energy metabolism, and the core of studying diabetes and other metabolic related diseases) And "autophagy".


It can also reduce the apoptosis of mouse podocytes induced by high glucose, and can also open the cell "autophagy" pathway. Similarly, it is best to supplement directly with supplements.
