The Downfalls of Aging: Old Man Stem-y

Old Man Stem-y: Stem cell exhaustion

Old Man Stem-y likes to think of himself as the patriarch of a very large family. He’s the tip-top of the family tree. If an injury or disease wipes out a section of cells, Stem-y makes sure to replace those cells so that the tissue is (almost) as good as new. Immune cells, muscle cells, bladder cells, skin cells – Stem-y can do it all.

But, Stem-y has gotten old, and he’s less able to signal repair. He’s less able to replicate himself or trigger the creation of new cell types. He knows he can’t live forever, but he’ll be damned if he gives up without a fight. Because when he’s gone, who else will take up the cause? 

Why this matters to you

As we age, our supply of stem cells plummets, and the ones that do survive become less active. This means we can’t repair organs and tissues like we used to.

How HOP Box can help

NR and Ca AKG, as well as antioxidants (ex: Quercetin, Fisetin, Astaxanthin), promote healthy, active stem cells, so poor Old Man Stem-y becomes the exception instead of the rule.
