Evidence Summary
Spermidine is an autophagy inducer with an interesting epidemiological signal — the Bruneck Study (n=829, 20-year follow-up) found that higher dietary spermidine intake was associated with reduced all-cause mortality. This is real observational data from a well-conducted cohort study.
However, supplemental spermidine trials are small and use biomarker endpoints. The gap between dietary association and supplemental efficacy is significant. The C- grade reflects genuine but preliminary evidence.

Safety Considerations
Generally well-tolerated. Naturally present in foods (wheat germ, aged cheese, mushrooms). Limited safety data for high-dose supplementation.
