With increasing age, so-called senescent cells (“zombie cells”) can accumulate in the body. Research is focusing intensively on their role in the ageing process and investigating how certain plant substances can influence this.
Cell Primer was developed in collaboration with longevity researchers in Switzerland and combines selected bioactive compounds that are discussed in scientific literature.

Cell Primer
Cell Primer combines selected bioactive compounds that have been the focus of modern research for years. From plant flavonoids such as Quercetin and Fisetin, to the rare fungal amino acid Ergothioneine, and innovative molecules such as PQQ and Spermidine, each ingredient has been carefully selected.
The formula is supplemented with Selenium, an essential trace element that contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and protects cells from oxidative stress.
Cell Primer contains Quercetin (found naturally in capers, red onions, and kale, for example) in the form of highly bioavailable Quercefit® and Fisetin (found naturally in strawberries and apples, for example) – flavonoids that have been the focus of scientific research into cellular ageing processes for a while.

Selenium is an essential mineral that is indispensable for numerous processes in the body. It contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, protects cells from oxidative stress, and supports normal thyroid function. As an antioxidant, it acts as a natural protective factor at the cellular level, making selenium a true key building block for balance and vitality in everyday life.

Our formula combines modern science with natural sources: Spermidine, a polyamine found in wheat germ; PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone), a coenzyme-like molecule from plants that is receiving special attention in biochemistry; and Ergothioneine, a rare amino acid from mushrooms that has been intensively studied in research for years.

Developed and manufactured in Switzerland, each batch of Cell Primer undergoes rigorous external testing for purity and safety in an independent Swiss laboratory. This double testing process guarantees consistent quality and confidence in every single product.

Cellular protection 101
Ageing begins at the cellular level.
Over time, so-called senescent “zombie cells” accumulate in our bodies - cells that have ceased to function properly but continue to exist.
These cells emit signals that disrupt the natural balance of the cellular environment and can accelerate the ageing process.
External influences such as stress, free radicals, and environmental factors contribute to the formation of such cells even faster.
Today, it is known that certain natural compounds - known as senolytics - can help to specifically reduce these “zombie cells” and thus relieve the cells in their function.
-
Our body has a natural ability to eliminate harmful senescent cells through a process called apoptosis.
This process can be stimulated by natural senolytics such as Quercetin and Fisetin, which activate specific pathways to induce apoptosis in these cells.
Cellular senescence can also be reduced by supporting autophagy – the body's natural mechanism for recycling and repairing damaged cellular components, thereby preventing cells from becoming senescent in the first place. Studies have also shown that Spermidine, a natural polyamine, can enhance autophagy and help reduce the accumulation of senescent cells. -
Effective senolytics combine multiple strategies to reduce harmful “zombie” cells. Ideally, a senolytic both promotes the removal of existing senescent cells and prevents the accumulation of new ones.
AVEA’s Cell Primer combats senescent cells through 3 powerful mechanisms:
1. Targeted removal of senescent cells with natural senolytics
Quercetin and Fisetin, plant compounds found in apples and strawberries, are natural senolytics that activate pathways leading to apoptosis (programmed cell death) in harmful senescent cells. Research shows that clearing these cells can reduce inflammation, accelerate recovery, and support healthy cellular renewal.
2. Preserving healthy cells and slowing premature senescence
PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone), a compound found in vegetables like spinach and celery, supports mitochondrial function and reduces oxidative stress – two key factors in preventing the formation of new senescent cells. By maintaining cellular health, PQQ may help prevent metabolic decline and premature ageing.
3. Supporting cellular repair and regeneration
Spermidine, a naturally occurring polyamine, stimulates autophagy – a crucial process by which cells recycle and repair damaged components. Enhanced autophagy helps preserve cell function and resilience, reducing the buildup of damage associated with ageing and chronic inflammation.
