How it works

1. Inhibits apoptosis via interaction with pro-apoptotic proteins (Bax)

   It blocks a key signal that tells cells to self-destruct, helping protect stressed or aging cells from dying.

2. Binds cell-surface receptors to trigger protective signaling without entering the cell

   It attaches to receptors on the outside of cells to trigger a protective response, without needing to enter the cell.

3. Improves insulin sensitivity in metabolic studies

   In studies, it's improved how well cells respond to insulin.

4. Reduces markers of cellular oxidative stress

   It helps reduce cell damage caused by oxidative stress.
