"Spermidine: The Anti-Aging Supplement that Boosts Fertility in Women"
A study suggests that spermidine, an anti-aging supplement sold at major retail stores, may improve fertility and increase women's childbearing years. Researchers gave spermidine to aging mice and found that it led to healthier oocytes and increased fertility. The supplement boosted ovarian cell quality, promoted follicle growth, and rejuvenated eggs during in vitro maturation. Spermidine works by removing damaged mitochondria and is naturally found in the body and antioxidant-rich foods. However, further research is needed to determine if these findings can be replicated in humans. With more women having children later in life, spermidine supplementation could potentially offer a therapeutic strategy for improving reproductive outcomes in older individuals trying to conceive.
