Spermidine is a precursor to other polyamines, like spermine and thermospermine. The chemical name of spermidine is N-(3-aminopropyl) butane-1,4-diamine while the CAS number of spermine is 71-44-3 (free base) and 306-67-2 (tetrahydrochloride).
There are several foods high in spermidine, such as wheat germ extract, fruits, grapefruit, yeast, mushrooms, meat, soybeans, cheese, Japanese Natto (fermented soybeans), green peas, rice bran, cheddar, etc. That’s why the Mediterranean diet is so popular since a high polyamine content in it. Below is the amount of spermidine content in foods from Wikipedia:
Function:
The proven main health benefits of spermidine supplements are anti-aging and hair growth.
Spermidine for anti-aging and longevity
Spermidine levels decrease with age. Supplementation can replenish these levels and induce autophagy, thus renewing cells and extending lifespan.
Spermidine works to support brain and heart health. Spermidine is believed to help reduce the onset of neurodegenerative and age-related diseases. Spermidine can support cellular renewal and help cells stay young and healthy.
Spermidine for human hair growth
A spermidine-based nutritional supplement can prolong the anagen phase in humans, and therefore might be beneficial for hair loss conditions. Further studies are needed to evaluate its effects in specific different clinical settings.

Other possible benefits may include:
- Promote fat loss and healthy weight
- Normalize bone density
- Reduce age-dependent muscular atrophy
- Enhance the growth of hair, skin, and nails
