Phytochemicals – Cell Boosters for a Long Life

Phytochemicals only garnered scientific interest for medicine at second glance. For a long time, they played second fiddle to vitamins and trace elements – yet they truly deserve a place in the front row when it comes to our health.

Phytochemicals are often equated with polyphenols or antioxidants. In reality, however, polyphenols are only a subgroup. They are complemented by terpenes and low molecular weight nitrogen compounds. For plants, these act as bitter substances, serving as a defense against predators and, after injury, as a healing substance for tissue regeneration. Tissue healing occurs through epigenetic control patterns that initiate cell regeneration – a mechanism we also utilize in patient treatment.

What exactly is epigenetics in this context?

Genes are fundamentally fixed in our cells as a genome. However, factors such as heredity, toxic exposure, energy deficiency, stress, lack of fasting periods, an unbalanced diet (e.g., too much sugar and protein), lack of exercise, and especially a deficit of phytochemicals can drastically alter the so-called phenotype. This represents the expression of the genotype. In simpler terms, it determines which genes from the genotype can actually be read and used for protein production in the cell. An unhealthy lifestyle can block certain genes with methyl groups. These act like stop signs for the cell's genes. Phytochemicals can remove these stop signs again by activating a repair gene called SIRT and accelerate DNA repair.

The positive effects include significantly higher cell performance again for better production of bones, muscles, hormones, antibodies, neurotransmitters, and other substances our body needs for its health. Our cell mitochondria are repaired and function better again, providing more energy. In addition, an endogenous protective system to reduce the risk of cancer is activated.

It is recommended to take phytochemicals preferably in the evening without proteins and sugar, as the SIRT gene can be particularly active during this time. Natural plant powders are recommended instead of highly concentrated single extracts. The phenol groups of these could otherwise be metabolized toxically in the large intestine – an effect that has already been observed with ashwagandha, turmeric, and EGCG extracts.

Plants also only provide these high-quality phytochemicals if they are free of pesticides and can grow in their natural environment. In application, conception, and development, GYCELL has been tailored to these necessary steps for your health. With this cocktail of phytochemicals, you receive the daily cell booster for a long, energetic, and healthy life.
