Dragonhead Extract Supplement – 100% Organic Moldavian Dragonhead Extract

Dragonhead Extract is a supplement made from the dragonhead plant (Dracocephalum moldavica), sometimes called 'Moldavian Melissa', which is traditionally used in Uighur medicine for combating the aging process.

With its unique mode of action and high content in flavonoid glucuronides, it mimics the effects of calorie restriction, an action that significantly slows down the aging process. In the short term, it produces benefits for the skin, while in the long term, it promotes longevity.

What Benefits are Offered by Dragonhead Extract?

Aqueous extract of Dracocephalum moldavica is distinct in being able to mimic calorie restriction, and as a result, may be able to push back the limits of human life expectancy and reduce the risk of age-related diseases.

What Exactly is Calorie Restriction and how does it Affect Aging?

Calorie restriction is simply limiting one’s food intake to the minimum necessary. Until very recently, it was the only method known to increase longevity whilst improving general health (3-5).

Calorie restriction activates a cell protein called AMPK (6-7) which itself triggers the expression of a family of genes called sirtuins (8-9-20). These genes slow down the aging process by acting on a number of cell mechanisms, such as DNA repair, resistance to oxidative stress, and cell death. Studies also show that sirtuin activation increases sensitivity to the pancreatic hormone and lipolysis, reduces levels of inflammation, and plays a preventive role in neurodegenerative problems.

But how many of us would be prepared to make such a sacrifice? A lifetime of drastically reduced calorie consumption in order to increase one’s life expectancy holds little appeal for most people (even if, in the past, such diets were undoubtedly responsible for the incredibly long life expectancy enjoyed by Japan’s Okinawa islanders).

Fortunately, researchers recently succeeded in isolating natural compounds capable of reproducing the beneficial effects of calorie restriction, with dragonhead emerging as one of the most impressive resources. When humans and other animals are given an extract of dragonhead, its flavonoid glucuronides activate AMPK in exactly the same way as calorie restriction. This brings about the same increase in activation of sirtuins, the genes that slow down aging. This results in both general benefits and cellular ones, with effects ranging from a decrease in metabolic waste products, to a reduction in fat mass. Accordingly, one laboratory study showed that the compounds in DragonHead Extract led to an increase of 400% in AMPK activity, and of 300% in FOXO transcription factors which activate the sirtuin family. Perhaps most surprising is that the beneficial effects of this molecule are even observed in cases of overeating (which is common in Western countries).

With dragonhead’s ability to mimic calorie restriction, it is therefore possible to have maximum life expectancy, normal calorie intake, and a slim figure.

Additional Benefits of Dragonhead Extract

Dragonhead Extract’s activation of sirtuins produces other health benefits too:

  • It improves circulation (1).
  • It helps you slim down.
  • It supports skin regeneration and improves a number of visible markers (elasticity, density, hydration...). One study examined 32 women in their fifties with sun-damaged skin. Following daily administration of 200 mg of Dragonhead Extract for eight weeks, dermal imaging showed a 14% improvement in hydration, a 7% improvement in elasticity, and an approximate 3% increase in skin density (2).

What Exactly is Moldavian Dragonhead?

It is a plant that has recently been rediscovered and positively exploited for its high content in glucuronic flavonoids, the compounds responsible for its many properties. It is indigenous to central Asia where it plays a prominent part in Uighur medicine.

What is in Dragonhead Extract Capsules?

Dragonhead Extract is produced from the aerial parts of Moldavian dragonhead which contain most of the active substances. The use of high-quality aqueous extraction produces an extract packed with active compounds such as flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, glycosides, and volatile components. Of all these ingredients, it is the flavonoids which are the most active. Several studies have shown the most important flavonoids to be tilianin, luteolin-7-O-glucuronides, apigenin, and rosmarinic acid (15-17). But as in all plant extracts, it is really the synergy between the components which is key.

Pharmacological studies have demonstrated the biological activity of this exceptional synergy; researchers have observed antioxidant, anti-hypoxic, immune-modulatory, anti-microbial, and vasodilatory properties (the latter accounting for its traditional use in treating heart and blood pressure problems (18-19).

How Should Dragonhead Extract be Taken?

The recommended dose is two 100 mg capsules a day, to be taken in between meals.

Other anti-aging supplements are available to buy from our catalogue including:

  • Longevity Nutrients, an enhanced formulation for promoting longevity.
  • Natural Rapalogs, a natural 'rapalog' formulation for slowing down aging.
  • PQQ & Q10, a synergistic formulation for fighting cognitive impairment (PQQ and co-enzyme Q10).

Note: this product should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. It is important to follow the guidelines on how to take it and the recommended dose, and to use it by the 'best before' date. It is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or for children under 15. Keep out of children’s reach. Store in a cool, dry place.
