Glossary of Terms
How Do People Communicate When Talking About Bioregulators?
Androgen
Any natural or synthetic steroid hormone that regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics. Androgens are synthesized in the testes, the ovaries, and the adrenal glands.
Autophagy
Derived from Greek words meaning “self-eating,” is the body’s mechanism for degrading and recycling damaged cellular components.
Bioactive
Having a biological effect.
Bioregulator
A naturally occurring or synthetic substance that regulates various cellular processes, such as gene expression, protein synthesis, and cellular metabolism. Bioregulators can be found in nature, such as in plants, animals, and microorganisms, or they can be synthesized in a laboratory.
Cellular Senescence
A permanent state of arrest where cells secrete pro-inflammatory factors, accelerates aging and metabolic dysfunction.
Cytogens
Synthesized versions bioregulators created by combining two to four amino acids from plant-based raw materials. They replicate the active site of a cytomax allowing them to act faster than cytomaxes, (approximately 20–30% faster at the same dosage.) However, their effects are shorter-lived, typically lasting 2–3 months, compared to cytomaxes, which can have a prolonged effect of up to 5 months.
Cytamins
Cytomaxes
Purified versions cytamins, offering a more concentrated and potent effect. Current extraction and filtration methods create a third stronger with a longer-lasting aftereffect, making them ideal for targeted cellular optimization.
Cytromedine
Classification for ultra-short peptides that are typically orally bioavailable.
Epigenetics
The study of how behavior and environment affect the ways genes work. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence. Epigenetic modifications can be influenced by various factors, including lifestyle, diet, and environmental exposures, and can play a crucial role in development, health, and disease.
Geroprotector
Hormone
A chemical released by a cell or a gland in one part of the body that sends out messages that affect cells in other parts of the organism
A naturally produced hormone by the pineal gland that primarily regulates the body’s circadian rhythm.
Peptide
A short chain of amino acids linked together. Typically, peptides are distinguished from proteins by their shorter length, although the cut-off number of amino acids for defining a peptide and protein can be arbitrary. They are usually classified into different categories based on length, function and / or origin.
Serotonin
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter with a wide range of functions in both the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. It is involved in mood, cognition, reward, learning, memory, and physiological processes such as vomiting and vasoconstriction.
Telomere
Specialized nucleoprotein structures consisting of repetitive DNA sequences that protect chromosomes from degradation.
