6 billion a year! Saudi Arabia invests heavily in research to prove that blueberry extract can reverse biological age by 25%

When some people's wealth reaches a certain level, they can no longer meet the basic material needs, so these people start their "uninhibited" road. Last year, the Saudi royal family set up a non-profit foundation and announced that it would spend $6 billion annually to research how to increase the human lifespan.

Just recently, two well-known universities, Saudi Nura Princess University and King Saudi University, jointly published their new research in the well-known medical journal "OMCL" (Oxidative Medicine and Cell Longevity). The research team said that they confirmed that the BEE extract in blueberries has the effect of reversing the physiological age of mammals. This discovery also means that Saudi Arabia has officially fired the "first shot" on the road against "death".

In fact, research on blueberry BEE extract has a long history. A few years ago, a research team from the USDA and Tufts University conducted a comparative screening of the "antioxidant" activity of natural extracts from a large number of fruits and vegetables. The blueberry BEE extract stands out among the other extracts with its high activity.

In the general consensus of the academic community, "oxidative reaction" is one of the important causes of human aging. Therefore, in order to further understand the actual role of BEE, the Saudi Albrahim research team conducted a series of animal studies on the substance, trying to understand the actual operation of BEE after entering the body.

In this study, the scientists used the comparison and reference method to select 6-month-old young mice (equivalent to about 25 years old in humans) and 24-month-old senile mice (equivalent to about 60 years old in humans) as reference groups respectively. and experimental group. Young mice were fed 200 mg of normal saline daily, while older mice were fed the same dose of BEE for 30 days.

After 30 days, the research team was pleasantly surprised to find that the aged mice supplemented with BEE showed different degrees of reversal of rejuvenation in liver function, liver fibrosis serum insulin, total cholesterol and other important physiological indicators. In terms of liver function, it even returned to the physiological state at the age of 6 months, which is equivalent to a 25% reversal of the physiological age.

In the follow-up study, scientists conducted a further study on the mechanism of action of BEE, and found that the reason why BEE can have this effect is probably because it is rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, total anthocyanins and other substances. These substances have also been widely used in the field of age-related health in recent years.

However, the research team said that although the blueberry BEE extract showed a good performance in this experiment, it was difficult to extract, and the mice were small, and the amount required was not much, but the human body needs The amount is huge.

At the same time, due to the short period of this research, the practical application of blueberry BEE extract may still take a long time. But in any case, this research on the mechanism of BEE is a major breakthrough for the entire academic community.

In fact, there are many mature examples in the current academic research of the same type. For example, the "Wright" substances discovered by Harvard biology professor David 9 years ago have been studied by Kyoto University and the Mayo Institute, confirming that the substances indeed have the effect of changing key indicators such as cell activity. , and in terms of practical application, the Wright species is even better than the blueberry BEE extract.

At the same time, in the follow-up research, with the help of various capitals and LightWeijian, the "Wright" category has been popular from European and American rich circles to high-quality groups such as domestic JD.com. However, there are still criticisms that it is difficult to extract and the cost is high, so it is only active in some minority groups.

In fact, if you are a friend who pays more attention to the scientific research results in this area, you will find that in recent decades, the field of biological health has become a new track, and there is also huge potential. For example, Bezos, the former richest man in the world, invested 20 billion to establish a biological company and announced the official challenge to "death".

For another example, Wanda, which has returned to full blood, has recently spent 15 billion to join the big health industry. With the emergence of various related scientific research achievements in recent years, it also means that the competition belonging to this track has kicked off, and in the near future, more and more people will enter.

But in any case, the ultimate beneficiaries of these studies are still us. Although at present, these so-called researches are still far from us, but with the continuous advancement of technology and the emergence of various new technologies, they will one day benefit the entire society.
