Benefits of Senactiv

Senactiv®

Senactiv® is primarily used in sports nutrition to increase endurance and recovery.

Overview

What is Senactiv? Senactiv is a trademarked ingredient developed by NuLiv Science. The benefits of Senactiv are well documented, as numerous studies show it promotes endurance and recovery.

But how exactly does Senactiv work? Let's take a deeper look ⬇️

Senescent Cells

Think of it like this: muscle, like all tissue in the human body, is a network of cells that are constantly dividing and regenerating as they age. However, at some point cells stop regenerating, yet they do not die. These cells are known as senescent cells. They are not harmful, but they no longer contribute to new cell growth, which can be problematic for performance training.

Consuming Senactiv prior to physical activity activates macrophages to rid the body of senescent cells so they can be replaced with newer, more productive cells that contribute to performance. Younger cells typically recover faster and are capable of working harder and longer than older cells. They also have higher mitochondria counts, the "powerhouse of the cell" we all remember from 5th grade science class! Mitochondria produce ATP, or the cellular form of energy.

Senactiv poses a plethora of benefits. It increases energy production in muscle cells, increases insulin sensitivity, reduces muscle fatigue, accelerates muscle regeneration, and increases endurance.

Senactiv is typically found within pre-workout, amino acids, hydration, intra-workout, and endurance/recovery products. For more information on Senactiv, visit NuLiv's website ➡️ https://nulivscience.com/ingredients/senactiv/
