Have you heard of the longevity supplement spermidine? If so, have you heard that some people are saying we should be taking a lot more than the recommended dosage for any effect at all? Is it true?

We cover:

• What spermidine actually does in your body once you’re past your twenties, and why it matters more as you age

• The real, research-backed dose, and how it compares to what some influencers and clinics are pushing

• What one small study on high-dose spermidine really proved, and what it didn’t

• Are IV or liposomal spermidine more effective?

• A red flag story about a popular spermidine brand that wasn’t telling the truth on its label

Leslie Kenny is the CEO of Oxford Healthspan and one of the leading voices on spermidine and autophagy. She’s the Global Executive Ambassador for the Japan Autophagy Consortium and works with the Nobel laureate who discovered the genes behind autophagy. Her company also funds spermidine research at the University of Oxford and the University of Osaka.

Her path into longevity started as a patient. After living with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Hashimoto’s, and going through fertility treatment, she learned to dig into the science herself. That’s why she only recommends doses backed by human trials, and why she tests other brands in independent labs.
