What It Is
AMPK-Autophagy Assist is a polyphenol and botanical formula built around autophagy, the normal cellular process by which cells break down and recycle their own components. Each 3-capsule serving supplies a 1330 mg proprietary blend of standardized plant extracts alongside vitamin C from amla and lithium as orotate.
Key Benefits
- Supplies polyphenol compounds involved in normal cellular recycling processes
- Provides vitamin C, a nutrient with a role in normal immune function
- Supplies quercetin and citrus bioflavonoids, flavonoid compounds with antioxidant properties
- Provides trans-resveratrol and pterostilbene, two related stilbene compounds
- Includes berberine from standardized barberry root extract
- Supplies lithium as lithium orotate
How It Works
The blend combines several standardized plant extracts rather than isolated compounds. Barberry root is standardized to 90% berberine, and Pterocarpus marsupium to its pterostilbene content — pterostilbene being structurally related to resveratrol, which this formula also supplies as trans-resveratrol from Japanese knotweed root.
Vitamin C is supplied from amla fruit (Phyllanthus emblica) rather than as isolated ascorbic acid, which brings the bioflavonoids naturally present in the fruit alongside it.
Lithium is supplied as lithium orotate at 500 mcg.

The full panel is listed in the Supplement Facts above.
What form does it come in, and how many servings are in a bottle?
AMPK-Autophagy Assist is supplied in vegetarian capsules with a hypromellose shell. A bottle contains 90 capsules. The serving size is 3 capsules, which works out to 30 servings per bottle.
What does a proprietary blend mean on the label?
A proprietary blend lists a combined total weight for a group of ingredients rather than an individual amount for each one. In this formula the blend totals 1330 mg across eight botanical ingredients. The individual amounts within the blend are not disclosed on the label. Ingredients outside the blend — vitamin C, amla, and lithium — carry their own stated amounts.
What is pterostilbene, and how does it relate to resveratrol?
Pterostilbene and resveratrol are both stilbene compounds found in plants, and they are structurally similar. This formula supplies both: trans-resveratrol from Japanese knotweed root, and pterostilbene from standardized Pterocarpus marsupium.
What are the other ingredients?
Hypromellose and water, which make up the vegetarian capsule shell. There are no fillers, flow agents, or other excipients listed.
