The science.
Autophagy is a natural biological process that is constantly active. However, it increases significantly when glucose levels (food energy) are low or in high demand, such as after a certain period since your last meal, during sleep, or through exercise. This increase is similar to the activation of autophagy by fasting, a keto diet, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). This effect is primarily due to the activation of AMPK, a key regulator of cellular energy balance.
AMPK activates autophagy as a survival mechanism in response to low-energy conditions. When energy resources are scarce, the body activates alternative ways to generate and conserve energy. Autophagy supports this by breaking down unnecessary or damaged cell components into amino acids, fatty acids, and other molecules, which are then recycled by other biological processes into molecules used for energy production.
Autophagy boosters.
Autophagy boosters promote autophagy through several mechanisms. They induce mild cellular stress response, which activates protective pathways including AMPK, similar to the way fasting or exercise can trigger autophagy. They also influence cellular energy balance by affecting the ratio of AMP to ATP, signaling a low-energy state that activates AMPK. Additionally, they may also lower blood glucose levels, causing an energy shift that stimulates autophagy, and inhibits enzymes, which normally suppresses the autophagy process.
Taking autophagy boosters are considered a “fasting mimetic” because it mimics some of the effects of fasting. In conjunction with fasting, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and a ketogenic diet, they can accelerate and intensify autophagy activation.
