Redox signaling molecules
are small, reactive molecules that play a key role in how our body's cells communicate. These molecules, mainly types of oxygen, act like messengers between cells. They help control important processes like cell growth, healing, and fighting off the effects of aging. Having the right balance of these molecules is crucial for good health. When balanced, they support our body's natural functions and defenses.
Why is This Important?
As we age, It is generally accepted that the efficiency and availability of redox signaling molecules often decline with aging.
However, young people can experience low levels of redox signaling molecules due to exposure to multiple stressors and oxidative stress, which can occur from factors like poor diet, environmental toxins, and intense physical or psychological stress.
Studies
Taueret Laboratories Study showed approximately 25% increase of gene expression in five genes (ERG1, KCTD12, PYROXD1, IRAK3, and CCR10) that control biologic pathways that signal dozens of biologic functions. Looking at only one of those genes, the ERG1effect, it is noted to regulate the:

- Vascular Health
- Digestive Enzyme Regulation
- Hormone Modulation and
