Indeed, the journal Science published a study by Australian researchers who found a unique anti-ageing enzyme, SIRT1, capable of extending longevity and preventing age-related diseases (type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases , Alzheimer), according to Santelog.
Diet and exercise naturally stimulate this enzyme, SIRT1. But the researchers discovered that it could be reinforced by activators like resveratrol, a compound present in particular in red wine.
The study’s lead author, Professor David Sinclair, of UNSW Medicine, based at Harvard University explains that “the principle of these drugs is not to treat a particular disease, but to be able to prevent about twenty of them “. This new drug, an activator of the SIRT1 enzyme could prevent diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and type diabetes

Although there are no activators that stimulate an enzyme to multiply its effects, Professor Sinclair, co-author of the study, explains that the technology exists, and that 4,000 synthetic activators, 100 times more powerful than a glass of red wine, have been developed and the top 3 are currently in clinical trial.
The marketing of the drug is expected within 5 years!
