Fisetin, a flavonoid, is found in various fruits and vegetables including strawberries, apples, persimmons, grapes, and onions. Getting enough fisetin from our diets is difficult, the most fisetin is found in strawberries. One strawberry contains on average less than 2mg of fisetin. This means to get the same fisetin from your diet as you do from one serving of our Pure Fisetin, the minimum you would have to eat is 400 strawberries!
Fisetin Extends Lifespan - When cells become old or dysfunctional, they’re supposed to die off to make room for new cells. But as we age, many cells become senescent instead. What this means is that these cells lose their ability to divide or perform basic functions and refuse to die. Some scientists refer to senescent cells as “zombie cells.”
Senescent cells don’t just linger around. They pump out toxic compounds that degrade nearby cells and incite chronic inflammation that causes systemic damage.
Fisetin activates sirtuin function in cells, countering this decline.
It reduces inflammation, a driver of many chronic illnesses and even of aging itself.
It helps prevent oxidative damage that leads to accelerated aging and degenerative disease.
Preventing Obesity and Diabetes - Obesity leads to a skyrocketing risk of metabolic disorders such as type II diabetes. It also increases the risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, and many other disorders.
Preclinical studies show that fisetin appears to act as a kind of “metabolism control switch,” reducing fat cell accumulation and suppressing activation of the protein mTOR, which is linked to weight gain. In mice fed a high-fat diet, fisetin prevented increase in body weight and accumulation of harmful white fat tissue.
