SIRT1 (sirtuin 1)

SIRT1, or sirtuin 1, is a protein that acts like a cellular clean-up crew and regulator, helping cells manage stress, repair DNA, and regulate energy use. It’s linked to aging, metabolism, and overall health. SIRT1 is activated by healthy habits like exercise, calorie restriction, and certain foods, supporting cell function and longevity. It also influences processes such as inflammation and fat storage, making it an important part of maintaining balanced health at the cellular level.
