The new Optigenex web site replaces the company's earlier consumer-oriented web page; the new site showcases the company's mission, its technology and available applications for its patented and unique DNA care ingredient called AC-11®. Unlike the earlier site, the new site is largely science-driven, providing direct links to a number of highly technical, peer reviewed journal articles in the fields of medicine and biochemistry on the subject of DNA repair and the role of AC-11® (formerly C-Med-100®).

All-natural, herbal-extracted and patented AC-11® is marketed by over 100 manufacturers and marketing companies in Japan, Europe, the Middle East, the United States and Canada in a variety of anti-aging cosmetic, dietary supplement and advanced DNA care products.

Daniel Zwiren, president and CEO of Optigenex Inc. said, "The company is pleased with its new home page and with the positive industry response it has received so far. We have tried to capture on our site some of the more recent advances in the understanding of DNA in the aging process. As the public's awareness of and interest in the science of healthy aging heightens, we look forward to expanding the page in the near future to provide larger forum for discussion of this vital topic as well as an excellent showcase for our unique technology."

Scientific Studies Prove the Efficacy of AC-11 to Repair DNA

Scientific research has demonstrated that a number supplements can actually repair DNA. The compound AC-11 or Uncaria tomentosa has attracted considerable attention as a repairer of DNA. AC-11 is extracted from Cat’s Claw, a woody vine found in South American rain forests.

Several studies have proven that AC-11 can repair DNA damage. In one study, hairless mice were subjected to ultraviolet radiation which is known to cause DNA damage and skin cancer. According to Dermatology Online Journal Volume 13 Number 3: “AC-11-treated animals almost completely repaired single-strand DNA breaks “ and “double-strand DNA breaks were substantially fewer in animals treated with 40 mg of AC-11 and significantly fewer in animals treated with 80 mg of AC-11 compared to untreated animals.” In another study, human subjects who had undergone previous chemotherapy and later given AC-11 supplementation demonstrated DNA repair. AC-11 is also known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune enhancing properties.

AC-11 is one of the key ingredients in the base product of the GeneWize LifeMap Nutrition™ supplement. GeneWize customers send in the Healthy Aging DNA Assessment and GeneWize custom makes a nutritional supplement based on this DNA assessment. In addition to AC-11, the GeneWize product contains antioxidants; super fruits such as Acai, Goji, Mangosteen, Pomegranate; resveratrol, green tea, folate, vitamins, and other ingredients important for optimal health.
