1. Antioxidant: The first line of defense against cellular aging
Core ingredients: Ginsenosides Rg1, Rb1, Rg3
Mechanism of action:
- Directly eliminate free radicals：Rg3 can restore ATP of ultraviolet-induced fibroblasts by 36% and significantly inhibit the production of lipid peroxidation product MDA.
- Enhance antioxidant enzyme activity：Rb1 and Rg1 can enhance the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), forming an intracellular antioxidant network.
Data support:
- Experiments on aged mice showed that Rb1 and Rg1 increased SOD activity by 40% and CAT activity by 35%.
- Korean ginseng (KRG) reduced liver MDA levels by 28% in an aged mouse model.
二、Telomere protection: key to extending cell lifespan
Core Ingredients：Ginsenoside Rg1
Mechanism of action：
- Inhibit telomere shortening：Rg1 can reduce t-BHP-induced telomere length shortening, reducing telomere shortening by 50% in the WI-38 cell model.。
- Activate telomerase：By upregulating telomerase activity, the telomere length maintenance rate of aging cells was increased to 85%.
Data support：
- A study from Fujian Medical University showed that the telomerase activity of cells in the Rg1-treated group was 2.3 times higher than that in the model group.
- The rate of telomere length shortening was reduced from 15bp to 7bp per year, significantly delaying cell replicative aging.
三、Anti-inflammation and immune regulation: breaking the aging cycle
Core Ingredients：Rb1、Re、Rg3
Mechanism of action：
- Inhibit inflammatory factors：Rb1/Re decreased the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α by 60% and blocked the activation of the NF-κB pathway.
- Regulating T cell balance：KRG increased the number of Treg cells in the spleen of elderly mice by 30% and restored the Th17/Treg ratio to the level of young mice.
Data support：
- Clinical studies have shown that daily intake of 200mg of ginseng extract increases NK cell activity by 44%, significantly improving immune surveillance efficiency.
- Rg3 converted pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages into anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype with a conversion rate of 75%.
四、Mitochondrial protection: restarting the energy factory
Core Ingredients：Ginseng Berry Extract, Rh4
Mechanism of action：
- Enhanced mitophagy：SPJ increases the expression of PGC-1α in aging cardiomyocytes by 2 times through the AMPK/mTOR pathway.
- Promotes mitochondrial biogenesis：Rh4 increases mitochondrial DNA copy number in skeletal muscle by 40% through the SIRT1-PGC-1α-TFAM axis.
Data support：
- Ginseng berry extract upregulated 561 mitochondrial-related genes and increased the activity of the OXPHOS complex by 30%.
- After Caenorhabditis elegans was treated with fermented ginseng, its lifespan was extended by 14.02% and its mitochondrial membrane potential was restored to the level of youth.
五、Inhibiting apoptosis: protecting neurons and skin cells
Core Ingredients：Rb1、Rg3、Ginseng polysaccharides
Mechanism of action：
- Blocking apoptosis pathways：The Rb1/Rg3 mixture inhibited excessive NO production in neurons and reduced DNA fragmentation by 80%.
- Promote cell repair：Ginseng polysaccharides reduced lipofuscin deposition in the brain tissue of elderly mice by 50% and restored synaptic density to 70% of the youth level.
Data support:：
- Experiments on SAMP8 mice showed that Rg1 reduced Aβ1-42 deposition in the hippocampus by 65% and increased cognitive function scores by 2.1 times.
- In the skin photoaging model, ginsenoside liposomes increased collagen content by 45% and reduced elastic fiber breakage by 70%.
