Abstract
The fucoxanthin/pomegranate seed oil composition describes a method of slowing the aging process in a mammalian subject by activating at least one member of the sirtuin family of proteins, wherein the activating step includes administering to the subject a synergistic combination of fucoxanthin and punicic acid. Sirtuin enzymes exert their function by removing acetyl groups from proteins. The deacetylation results in inactivation of the proteins'"'"' role in cell metabolism and prevents genes from over-expression, thereby putting a cell into a state of hibernation and increasing its lifespan.
