Oxford HealthSpan brings us Primeadine, the best formulated Spermidine supplement on the market! What makes it stand out – it includes Spermine & Putrescine two other Polyamines that work hand in hand with Spermidine PLUS FOS, a prebiotic to feed the bacteria in your gut that make Spermidine! I take Spermidine daily as do my family and my clients – it has become a solid member of my "foundation stack". Research has shown that Spermidine upregulates autophagy, helps the immune system to rejuvenate and it protects DNA – visible benefits experienced by myself and my clients include better sleep, hair, skin, and nails!
