How Repair Plus Supports Your Natural Repair Processes

December 10, 2025 Linda Dobberstein

Every day, your body is hard at work repairing, rebuilding, and restoring itself so you can stay active, productive, and resilient. You maintain your home, your car, and countless responsibilities… but how often do you think about maintaining your own repair systems?

Numerous dietary phytonutrients, spices, herbs, vitamins, and minerals along with a healthy diet, quality sleep, positive emotional support, and physical activity play essential roles in body repair. It is also essential to reduce the burden from unhealthy factors such as ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, excessive alcohol, tobacco products, and other stressors.

Learn more about the body’s amazing repair mechanisms, such as the activation of sirtuins, AMPK, and autophagy—and our top science-based formula to support repair.

Sirtuins

Sirtuins or SIRTs play several vital roles in how your body repairs. Sirtuins regulate antioxidant-oxidant balance, mitochondrial function and biogenesis, inflammatory mechanisms, DNA repair, insulin sensitivity, glucose and lipid metabolism, apoptosis, and NAD production. They quench and suppress reactive oxygen species (ROS), COX2 and iNOS expressions. They also regulate the secretion of inflammatory mediators and neuroimmune cells.

An imbalance of sirtuins in cells results in increased cellular stress with increased production of TNF-a, NF-kappa B, NLRP3 inflammasome proteins, and other pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Sirtuin activities occur within capillaries and blood vessels, nervous system glial cells, and mitochondria. The average adult human body has about 60,000 miles of blood vessels and hundreds to thousands of mitochondria in each cell. Your brain-nervous system uses 70 percent of the ATP/energy that mitochondria produce each day. This is a lot of structure that needs maintenance and repair, making it vital to provide your body with the nutrients necessary to keep up with the demands! Phytonutrients like quercetin, bromelain and papain support sirtuin activities.

Removal of Senescent Cells

Quercetin enhances the body’s regenerative repair processes as it is a senolytic nutrient. It helps the body clear worn out (senescent) cells. Quercetin is a powerful nutrient for respiratory and immune health and repair. Clinical trial shows that it protects and supports the epithelial lining within lungs and bronchial tissues with its senolytic properties.

Quercetin is furthermore considered one of the most significant plant-based antioxidants. It supports the body’s immune defenses, is protective against free radicals, and modulates inflammatory mechanisms throughout the body. Quercetin is also supportive of vascular epithelial health, bones, gastrointestinal, immune, brain, and more.

Autophagy

Autophagy is another natural process wherein the body breaks down and recycles worn out cellular components. This process is essential for health and longevity. Turmeric extract supports healthy cellular autophagy throughout the body, including in the brain, gut, joints, heart, and more.

AMPK

AMPK is a master enzyme switch related to metabolism and efficiency, energy production, liver function, blood sugar, cholesterol, and insulin functions. AMPK activation declines with age and changes in health. AMPK activation is essential for inflammation modulation and healthy aging.

Papain, an enzyme from papaya, along with bromelain, quercetin, and turmeric, support healthy AMPK activities.

Repair Plus: Bioactive Formula for Body Repair

The need for body repair is ongoing. Time, age, and the issues associated with 21st Century life add to repair demands. Consider taking Repair Plus to support your body’s daily repair processes. It is a powerful combination of bioactive forms of turmeric, quercetin, bromelain, and papain. Repair Plus contains:

• TurmiPure Gold – The world’s most bioavailable and first bioequivalent turmeric at a low dose of 300 mg per capsule and does not need black pepper for absorption. A single dose of 300 mg of TurmiPure Gold delivers more curcuminoids in the blood than 1,500mg of turmeric 95% (with or without addition of 1% black pepper extract). TurmiPure Gold is 22 times more bioavailable than standardized turmeric extract with black pepper

• Quercetin Phytosome – We recently upgraded the quercetin in Repair Plus to Quercefit® Quercetin Phytosome, which is up to 20x more bioavailable than standard quercetin.

• High potency Bromelain – Bromelain is measured in GDU or MCU (1 GDU ≈ 1.5 MCU). Our bromelain is exceptionally potent at 2400 GDU/gram, so 150 mg delivers the same enzyme activity as 450 mg of typical 1200-MCU bromelain.

• Papain – Enzyme from papaya providing 48,000 USP enzyme units per mg. Each Repair Plus capsule contains 100 mg of papain.

Repair Plus brings together some of the most well-researched nutrients for cellular renewal, enzyme activity, and healthy repair processes.

This trusted formula has been a customer favorite for decades for a reason. If you’re looking to support your body’s natural repair systems and stay ahead of daily wear-and-tear, Repair Plus is an excellent place to start.
