probably more phytochemicals than almost any other plant on the planet that we've discovered to date, has sort of been a neglected plant. And you've taken this plant and subjected it to rigorous clinical trials, studies that have found some pretty extraordinary things with this. And this is a seed, basically, right? A flower seed. It's a fruit seed. Fruit seed, yeah.

You can't really buy it that easily in the supermarket, but you've basically resurrected it from being kind of almost eliminated from the food supply, created a model of regenerative farming to grow it, which actually compounds the phytochemical richness of the food and increases it because the soil is how the plants grow. get their nutrition.

And if the soil is dead and dirt, not soil, if it's just devoid of organic matter, it can't take out the nutrients. So you've even sprouted it, which even accentuates a lot of these benefits. ES, it's rich in flavonoids like quercetin, which has been studied for longevity and It activates AMPK, which is a key enzyme in Longevity's pathways and many other things.

You found how it affects gut immune system function with its prebiotic fibers. You found how it actually enhances the function of natural killer cells, which are key to fighting infection and cancer.

how it modulates inflammatory cytokines that drive inflammation in the body, all the chronic sterile inflammation we've been talking about, that's rich in nutrients like zinc and magnesium, that is important for function of your T cells and your natural killer cells, and even has antimicrobial properties that are antiviral.

So it's high in protein, it's low in starch and sugar, low glycemic load. It's quite an incredible plant that you've kind of resurrected from the mothballs of history. And one of the things you've done with this is you've subjected it to a trial in humans where you've measured through very complicated, sophisticated epigenetic testing. In other words, how this particular plant modifies

the expression of our genes and is an immuno rejuvenator. So can you take us down what that study was that you did and how this sort of works at a mechanistic level and what you discovered in terms of its effects on our genome?
