Aminoguanidine is a medicine capable to slow down the aging processes. It is commonly considered that age-related changes in the body are caused by so called cross-linking (or glycosylation) of protein. Aminoguanidine is able to protect body-making-up proteins such as skin (collagen and elastin), eye lens, nerve and kidney proteins from linking by mixing itself up with substances that cause links and thus stops the aging of the body among which are senile cataracts, thickening of the arteries, some cancers, age-related toughening and yellowing of the skin and damage to the immune system. The results of such Aminoguanidine effect mean that it may be able to protect from or at least slow down the progression of those age-related conditions. It is also test-proven that Aminoguanidine has the capability of reducing the ability of very low density lipoprotein so called “bad cholesterol” to stick to blood vessel walls as the result blood platelets are less likely to coagulate and form dangerous atherosclerotic plaques. The medicine also shows the ability to prevent age-related heart enlargement and irregular glucose metabolism which causes diabetes to develop with age.

1.Description:
Aminoguanidine (pronounced a-mean-o-gwan-I-din) is capable of preventing advanced protein glycation, as well as inhibiting the activity of enzymes with carbonyl groups as cofactors, such as nitric oxide synthase and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidize. The hydrazide moiety of Aminoguanidine can also interact with different endogenous carbonyl metabolites and potentially harmful endogenous aldehydes. Aldehydes can be generated via different pathways, such as lipid peroxidase, oxidative deamination, and carbohydrate metabolism. Formaldehyde and methylglyoxal are produced via semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase — catalyzed deamination of methylamine and aminoacetone, respectively. An increase in semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase — mediated deamination is known to be associated with various vascular disorders, such as diabetic complications. The present study demonstrates that Aminoguanidine is not only capable of rapidly interacting with aldehydes in vitro, but also scavenging aldehydes in vivo. The Aminoguanidine -formaldehyde adducts were traced and their structures elucidated by HPLC-MS. Aminoguanidine has also been shown to block formaldehyde-induced beta-amyloid aggregation. Thus, Aminoguanidine can be an aldehyde scavenger in addition to blocking advanced glycation and inhibition of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase and nitric oxide synthase activity. Such reactions may contribute to its pharmacological effects in the treatment of vascular disorders associated with diabetic complications and other disorders as well as complex aging of the human body.
2.Before Using:
Before starting taking Aminoguanidine consult your physician. It can inhibit the uptake of vitamin B6, so a B6 supplement is recommended while using Aminoguanidine. Aminoguanidine may be synergistic with Acarbose and Metformin. This product and its statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to treat, cure or prevent any disease.
3.Dosage:
An effective anti-aging dosage of Aminoguanidine is from 150mg up to 300mg per day (75mg two, three of four times a day), taken with food. Diabetics may require increased dosages in the range of 300-600mg daily or even higher. Aminoguanidine has a half life of only 4-hours, so it is better to split the daily dose in equal doses during the day for better administration.
4.Side Effects:
The trials proved Aminoguanidine to have very low toxicity level and appear safe-to-use against average dosages. Side effects in human trials have been limited to nausea and headache and were caused by personal intolerability to the drug ingredients. Though, note that Aminoguanidine use is probably best undertaken under the supervision of a physician.
