What is GG or Geranylgeraniol?Updated 8 months ago

Dave talks about annatto extract in his book, Smarter Not Harder. He explains that the annatto tree is also called the "lipstick tree" because it contains many rich-colored antioxidant compounds. Annatto has delta and gamma tocotrienols which are forms of vitamin E that that protect the liver, reduce chronic inflammation and improve eye and bone health. 

The annatto tree contains Geranylgeraniol, a vital component of cells that declines with age. Geranylgeraniol is necessary for building cell membranes, creating energy in mitochondria, and making sex hormones such as testosterone. It also shares some superpowers with vitamin K because it helps keep calcium out of places where it doesn’t belong. This little-known antiaging molecule has a lot of promise.
