Cells
Description
Cells are the basic unit of the human body.
These Substances may Enhance the Function of the Body's Cells
Alkaloids
Allantoin may accelerate the replication of Cells:
Caution: accelerated cell growth is detrimental to Cancer patients.
Hormones
Melatonin is capable of influencing every Cell within the human body:
A Receptor specific to Melatonin has been identified inside the Nucleus of the body's Cells - this Nuclear Melatonin Receptor is believed to account for the ability of Melatonin to effect profound and varied changes throughout the body. Melatonin (unlike other Hormones) therefore does NOT require a specific Receptor on the outer Cell Membrane to permit it to enter into Cells.
After its release from the Pineal Gland during the night, Melatonin travels to the Nucleus of all of the body's Cells where it then communicates important regulatory instructions to the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) of the Cell - these instructions probably include "youth instructions" that permit each Cell to behave as though it were younger than its chronological age.
Melatonin prevents Free Radicals from damaging (fragmenting) the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) content of Cells.
