Technical Details & Test Data
- Clinical Study of ETAS®
- Mechanism of Action
- ETAS works by increasing the production of HSP70 an intracellular protein produced naturally by the body when it encounters a stressor, such as extreme heat.
- HSP70 has many beneficial functions. It repairs damaged cells, tips the balance from excitatory cytokines to inhibitory ones and serves as an antioxidant. Unfortunately, the heat shock response to stressors of all kinds decreases with age. Human clinical research has shown that ETAS significantly increases the expression of HSP70 at a dosage of 100 mg elemental ETAS per day.(The commercially available form of ETAS is 50% elemental ETAS, requiring a dosage of 200 mg per day.)
Safety & Health
- Safety
ETAS is a natural ingredient derived from asparagus, which has been safely consumed as part of the food chain for at least 5,000 years. A 90-day toxicological study found no significant adverse events and confirmed the ingredient’s safety.
