Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions as a proteasome activity booster, enhancing the cellular machinery responsible for breaking down damaged and misfolded proteins. By accelerating this natural detoxification pathway, it prevents the accumulation of protein aggregates that contribute to cellular aging and environmental damage.
