Phyto Power and Longevity: The Hormetic Effect

Dear Doctor

The hormetic mechanism of phyto-nutrients is an exciting area of research. Scientists have discovered that small amounts of phytochemicals offer much more than their magnificent nutrients. Phytochemicals also offer a hormetic mechanism: a stimulation of many pathways in our body that prevents, repairs, or reverses aging and disease (Lee et al., 2014; Davinelli et al., 2012).

Phyto Power

The concept of hormesis is defined as an adoptive response of cells and organisms to low dosages of phytochemicals. This adoptive response stimulates a beneficial effect in the body (Mattson, 2008, 2008a). Calabrese et al. conducted many studies on hormetic phytochemicals and vitagenes (a group of genes that is responsible for cellular homeostasis during times of stress) in aging and longevity, including the effect of antioxidants such as polyphenols on neuro-generation (2012, 2011, 2009). The vitagene network of genes involved in the process of repair and maintenance is thought of as the longevity assurance processes: the efficient functioning of various maintenance and repair processes assuring our survival and health (Rattan, 1998; see also Cornelius et al., 2013; Calabrese et al., 2010; Rattan, 2010; 2004).

Phyto Power as a dietary supplement offers several species of Blueberries, Rose hip, and Dandelion, including the leaves, stems, flower, and root offering a powerful hermetic benefit for DNA and cellular health.
