Longevity: DFPP against aging

Double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) is increasingly used in longevity medicine. This advanced blood purification technique selectively removes specific harmful substances from the blood while preserving essential components. 

Key DFPP Benefits for Longevity

1. Removal of Aging-Associated Proteins. DFPP effectively removes various proteins associated with aging, including advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and specific inflammatory molecules. These substances accumulate naturally with age and contribute to cellular dysfunction and tissue damage. Regular clearance of these harmful proteins through DFPP may help slow down certain aspects of the aging process. Additionally, the removal of oxidized proteins and lipids may help reduce oxidative stress on cells and tissues.
2. Inflammation Reduction. Chronic inflammation, often called "inflammaging," is a major contributor to age-related diseases. DFPP can reduce circulating inflammatory markers and immune complexes, potentially helping to reset the immune system to a more youthful state. This reduction in systemic inflammation may protect against age-related conditions such as cardiovascular disease and neurodegeneration. The procedure can also help remove pro-inflammatory cytokines that contribute to chronic inflammation.
3. Improved Blood Rheology. DFPP enhances blood flow properties by removing high-molecular-weight proteins that increase blood viscosity. Better blood flow means improved oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues, crucial for maintaining cellular health and function as we age. This improvement in blood rheology may also help reduce the risk of blood clots and support better microcirculation throughout the body.
4. Support for Cellular Rejuvenation. By removing cellular debris and harmful proteins from circulation, DFPP may create a more favourable environment for cellular repair and regeneration. This "cleaning" of the blood plasma might help activate natural rejuvenation processes and support stem cell function. The reduction in toxic metabolites and waste products can also help improve cellular metabolism and energy production.
5. Enhanced Protein Quality. Control DFPP can help maintain better protein quality control in the body by removing misfolded or damaged proteins that accumulate with age. These problematic proteins are associated with various age-related conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases. Regular DFPP treatments may help maintain a healthier protein balance in the body.
