Back in 2017, spermidine wheat germ extract was recognized as a novel food by the European Commission. Wheat germ is a part of wheat and is considered the essence of wheat. With it, wheat can be further reproduced, while the germ part has been removed from the refined wheat we usually buy.
Wheat germ, also known as malt flour and germ, is in the form of golden yellow granules. Malt is one of the organs of wheat germination and growth, accounting for about 2.5% of the whole wheat grain, rich in vitamin E, B1 and protein, is a highly nutritious natural food.
In March 2020, the European Commission issued Regulation (EU) No. 2020/443 amending the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 on spermidine-rich wheat germ extract as a novel food.
Recently, Guanjie's wheat germ extract product, which has additional health benefits. The ingredient is rich in spermidine. It can be able to support autophagy. This is a self-cleaning process that occurs in the body's cells and is associated with a healthy immune system, as well as slowing down aging.
This new ingredient also provides other nutrients. For example, folic acid, which plays a role in immune defense, and vitamin E, which has a protective cellular function. it is a classic anti-aging ingredient, and also contains plant proteins and fats with high nutritional value. Based on the healthy properties of the ingredient, it can be used in product development for both holistic health and healthy aging market segments. Also having a favorable taste, the extract is suitable for a wide range of applications.
Scientific studies have concluded that wheat germ extract spermidine has an effect on autophagy. During this continuous self-cleaning process, old and excess cellular components as well as harmful invaders such as viruses are broken down and recycled. As a result of these breakdowns substances can be used to build new structures. This system provides a high performance mechanism for cell production and renewal.
Spermidine is produced naturally in the human body. It is produced by cells and bacteria in the gut microbiome. A diet rich in spermine also helps to stimulate autophagy.Guanjie's product is enriched with spermine and is characterized by high purity. Spermidine contains up to six times more spermidine compared to conventional wheat germ. With only two grams per day this provides the recommended daily intake dose.
Currently, our company has developed a variety of ingredients. It helps promote a healthy microflora. The correct nutritional source of gut bacteria is an important basis for the body's own production of spermidine. Dietary fiber contributes to a healthy intestinal flora and thus supports the production of spermidine. The combination of high fiber content and spermidine wheat germ extract makes it possible to boost cellular circulation in two ways - from the inside out and from the outside in.
Regular fasting and high-intensity exercise stimulate autophagy. Spermidie-rich foods and beverages may address the problems of less active consumers. Many consumers have difficulty incorporating regular activity into their daily lives and are less inclined to fast. The product has a wide range of applications, from baked goods, chocolate bars, cookies and pasta to liquid foods such as dairy beverages and milkshakes. The uses are virtually unlimited.
Wheat germ extract can be easily incorporated into existing recipes and product innovations. The effects of folic acid for immune system support and vitamin E for cellular protection are also possible when consumed in adequate doses.
What Are The Main Effects Of Wheat germ?
Wheat germ is rich in B vitamins.
Especially B1 and B2, it can be a natural B vitamin fortifier for health and healing foods.
Wheat germ is rich in vitamin E.
It can delay aging, soften blood vessels, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the composition of pigment in wheat germ is wheat flavonoid. It is a water-soluble pigment, which also has good therapeutic function for cardiovascular diseases.
Wheat germ fat is a high-quality plant fatty acids.
84% is beneficial to the human body unsaturated fatty acids. Especially the essential fatty acids-linoleic acid and so on. Its content accounts for one-tenth of the whole wheat germ fat also above. It can esterify with the cholesterol in human blood vessels, and has the effect of preventing arteriosclerosis. It is also effective in regulating blood pressure, lowering blood cholesterol, reducing muscle fatigue and pain, and enhancing explosive power and endurance. And also has a certain effect on the prevention of diabetes. In addition, fermented wheat germ extract spermidine is rich in minerals, can also play a role in regulating blood pressure, control blood sugar, protect the heart.
Glutathione in spermidine wheat germ extract.
Some people call it an anti-cancer factor. The peroxidase is an important scavenger of reactive oxygen radicals in living organisms, and thus it has a significant effect on the inhibition of cancer.
Wheat germ contains a large amount of dietary fiber.
It has the effect of laxative, relieving constipation, lowering blood fat and cholesterol, and lowering postprandial blood sugar. Also has the function of weight loss and detoxification.
What Are Spermidine 3 Main Sources In The Human Body?
1. It is synthesized by the body itself. It can be synthesized from spermidine to ornithine to putrescine to spermine. Or it can be converted from spermidine rich wheat germ extract.
2 It is synthesized by the intestinal flora.
3 It comes directly from food.
Ingestion of the precursor of spermidine can increase the level of spermine. Both spermidine and spermine can have an effect.
Foods rich in spermine are mainly nuts, seeds and beans and turkey. Foods rich in spermine include wheat germ, chicken liver, chicken hearts and beef sausage.
But it's worth noting that maintaining healthy methylation is also important for spermine synthesis. Spermine synthesis requires the involvement of dcSAMe, which is derived from SAMe. SAMe is the most important coenzyme in human methylation, and its levels are affected by the methylation cycle.
Wheat germ spermidine content in the gut is mainly supplied by the intestinal flora. Some probiotics are also capable of producing spermidine. A well-studied strain is Lactococcus lactis LKM512 ( Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis LKM512), which is added to some yogurts produced in Japan.
