Moringa’s Anti-Aging Compound - Zeatin
Moringa is jammed with a cytokinin called zeatin.
Cytokinins are plant hormones that help cells divide and protect
against oxidation. Zeatin is the most powerful of all cytokinins.
According to a 2004 Danish study, zeatin helps promote small
cell size, a key component to more youthful skin. It also
influences the structural and functional integrity of the cell, and
prevents accumulation of macromolecular damage in the cell.
The study found that zeatin increases the activity of some
antioxidant enzymes, counteracting the free radical-induced
oxidative damage incurred during cell aging.
So which plant has more zeatin than any other? Moringa not
only contains thousands of times more zeatin than any other
known plant, it is also the most nutritious plant discovered to
date, with over 90 nutritional compounds including 46
antioxidants and 36 anti-inflammatories. (Aging, 2008) [link to allthingsmoringa.com]
