Spermidine is a polyamine compound found in living tissues and is known for its role in cellular function and development. It has been increasingly recognized for its potential health benefits, particularly concerning longevity and age-related diseases. Studies have indicated that spermidine has the ability to promote autophagy, the body's intracellular recycling mechanism, which is crucial for cellular maintenance, homeostasis, and overall health. | Spermidine is a polyamine compound found in living tissues and is known for its role in cellular function and development.

Spermidine is a naturally occurring biogenic polyamine, synthesized from the amino acid ornithine through the action of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). It is involved in various fundamental biological processes, including DNA stability, RNA transcription, translation, enzyme function, and cell proliferation. As a cellular polyamine, spermidine is essential for both normal and neoplastic tissue growth and is found in all eukaryotic cells. | Spermidine is a naturally occurring biogenic polyamine, synthesized from the amino acid ornithine through the action of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC).
