SUPPLEMENTS TO RESTORE NAD+
- NAD+ and NAD+ precursor supplements
- Increase endogenous NAD+ production
- Decrease NAD+ consumption in the body
NAD+ and NAD+ PRECURSORS
We offer the most complete range of direct NAD+ boosting supplements, Including NMN, NR, and NAD+ that all utilize advanced delivery methods to increase bioavailability.
INCREASE ENDOGENOUS NAD+ PRODUCTION
Our bodies constantly recycle NAD+ in what is called the salvage pathway.The bottleneck in this process is NAMPT. Activating AMPK increases NAMPT to increase NAD+ through the salvage pathway.
DECREASE INFLAMMATION & INCREASE NAD+
The chart below shows the supplements we offer for health and longevity in addition to NAD+ precursors
ALL can help lower systemic inflammation.A
All our products below utilize liposomes to greatly increase bioavailability, as most are known to have very poor bioavailability on their own.
INFLAMMATION INCREASES WITH AGE
INFLAMMATION INCREASES CD38 WHICH CONSUMES NAD+
In ageing, declining NAD+ levels are associated with increased accumulation of proinflammatory M1-like resident macrophages in the liver and fat, which are characterized by increased expression of CD38 (r).
This research review by Dr. Sinclair found increased CD38 responsible for the lower NAD+ levels as we age.
the major culprit is an NADase called CD38 whose levels rise during aging
INFLAMMATION DRIVES MORTALITY
This study found inflammation is a better predictor of mortality than telomere length(r).
We conclude that inflammation is an important malleable driver of ageing up to extreme old age in humans(r).
DECREASING INFLAMMATION INCREASES NAD+ AND IS KEY TO HEALTHY AGING
Results from hundreds of tests for Intracellular NAD+ levels tell us that those with high inflammation levels (measured by HS-CRP) have less success raising NAD+ levels.
Lowering inflammation can help restoreNAD+ levels on their own, and also allow NAD+ precursors to work even better.
By lowering inflammation along with use of effective NAD+ precursors, we have seen increases of 300% in some subjects vs 50% with NAD+ precursors alone.
AMPK ACTIVATOR
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
ELLAGIC ACID
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
NAD+ levels decline due to chronic inflammation and by prolonged oxidative stress. This causes a reduction in NAMPT and NAD+ levels in multiple tissues. NAD+ is constantly being created and consumed, and lower levels contribute to multiple health issues. Providing support by stimulating internal AMPK production will help increase NAD+ production.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
AMPK
AMPK is an important enzyme which senses energy levels (ATP) in the mitochondria. When energy is low, AMPK signals NAMPT to create more NAD+. The December 2011 e-publication AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) controls the aging process via an integrated signaling network makes the point that AMPK plays a key role in controlling the aging process.
“Efficient control of energy metabolic homeostasis, enhanced stress resistance, and qualified cellular housekeeping are the hallmarks of improved healthspan and extended lifespan. AMPK signaling is involved in the regulation of all these characteristics via an integrated signaling network.”
FISETIN
Fisetin’s ability to clear out senescent cells has been shown to calm inflammation, improve physical function and increase lifespan in animals.(16) It’s benefits in studies are vast: from improved metabolic function and blood sugar levels, pain reduction, lowered cholesterol levels and blood pressure, while improving bone density.
EGCG
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a unique plant compound that helps reduce inflammation, support heart health, optimal blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Early research suggests it may play a role in improving neurological function and protect against brain diseases.
PTEROSTILBENE
Pterostilbene has been shown to demonstrate preventative and therapeutic health benefits. Pterostilbene, which is structurally similar to resveratrol, reduces oxidative stress and production of reactive oxygen species, which are implicated in numerous disease processes.(17)
ASTRAGOLOSIDE IV
Astragaloside IV has strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis properties and numerous studies have shown it’s beneficial for brain health. In one study, it was found to enhance adult hippocampal neurogenesis, or the ability of the brain to increase neurons in the hippocampus (18). This process is very important for learning and memory as you age.
ELLAGIC ACID
Ellagic acid is associated with numerous health benefits from protecting brain function to lowering inflammation levels. Some animal and human studies suggest it may be useful in the treatment and prevention of age-related conditions, such as: type 2 diabetes, and neurodegenerative brain diseases. (19,20)

APIGENIN
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
As people get older, it becomes more difficult for the body to maintain proper energy production, mitochondrial function & repair mechanisms. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a molecule that is crucial for maintaining mitochondrial health and energy production and it diminishes in cells with age.
The diminished NAD+ levels are directly linked to age-related disorders, metabolic issues and cardiovascular dysfunction. An enzyme called CD38 plays a key role in the maintenance of NAD+ levels, as it’s the main enzyme responsible for the degradation of NAD+. Higher CD38 levels correlate with lowered NAD+ levels in the body. Senescent cell accumulation is also associated with an increase in CD38 and contributes to age-associated NAD+ decline.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
Researchers discovered that lowering CD38 levels through the use of a CD38 inhibitor, or by increasing NAD+ levels through supplementation with NMN, they were able to block the development of cardiovascular diseases in mice.(3) By lowering CD38 levels, NAD+ levels increased and this led to lowering of blood pressure and lowering of blood vessel senescent cells. CD38 is a major consumer of NAD+ in the cells. Mice lacking in CD38 or treated with the CD38 inhibitor apigenin had about 50% higher NAD+ levels. (4) In addition, apigenin has numerous small studies showing other possible benefits, including: improvements in depression and anxiety, memory and learning, weight loss and improved metabolic health.

BERBERINE
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
Blood sugar and insulin problems, weight gain and other metabolic issues and diseases like diabetes are common in the aging population. These issues contribute to a range of health problems. Chronic high blood sugar levels can cause damage to the body’s tissues and organs, leading to numerous health problems and contributing to a shortened lifespan. Lifestyle and dietary interventions play an important role in maintaining metabolic health. Senescent cell levels increase with inflammation, metabolic issues, obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
Numerous studies show that berberine significantly reduces blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.(13) It is often recommended as a natural alternative to the prescription drug Metformin. Berberine works by decreasing insulin resistance, helping the body to break down sugars inside cells, decreasing sugar production in the liver, slowing down the breakdown of carbohydrates in the gut, while increasing beneficial bacteria. In one study of diabetic patients, those taking berberine had a 20% lower fasting blood sugar level and went from diabetic to normal levels. It’s also been shown to improve cholesterol levels and triglycerides.(14) It’s currently being studied as a potential senolytic. In a study, activation of AMPK with berberine significantly prevented the development of senescence.(15)

CaAKG
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
Aging is associated with a dysregulated epigenome. Epigenetics is the study of how cells control gene activity without changing the DNA. Epigenetic changes play a part in whether genes are turned on or off. When dysregulated, this leads to epigenetic errors and conditions such as cancers, metabolic disorders and degenerative diseases. Epigenetic dysregulation is closely correlated with aging.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
CaAKG is a regulator of epigenetic processes and provides energy to the mitochondria. It works in numerous pathways in the body and helps build muscle and heal wounds. It plays a role in amino acid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism, helping cells maintain metabolic flexibility. A number of studies have shown that CaAKG influences aging and in numerous studies it has extended lifespan in organisms. In one study, dietary supplementation increased both median and maximum lifespan in flies.(11) In a recent study, researchers found that mice given CaAKG experienced a 12% increase in lifespan, and a 46% reduction in frailty, and 41% increase in healthspan.(12)
CaAKG is often given to athletes and bodybuilders in order to boost physical endurance and energy by providing fuel to the mitochondria. CaAKG has also been studied for its ability to enhance autophagy. Autophagy is the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells, and the body’s autophagic activity declines with age, contributing to the development of disease.

FISETIN
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
Aging is associated with the buildup of senescent cells. Senescent cells are dysfunctional cells that are difficult to clear out of the body. When they aren’t cleared out, they cause damage to surrounding healthy cells by releasing proinflammatory substances. Senescent cell accumulation contributes to age-related diseases, such as: glaucoma, liver cirrhosis, Type 2 diabetes, cancer, sarcopenia, osteoarthritis and cardiovascular disease. The accumulation of senescent cells also contributes to a decline in immune function.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
Fisetin’s ability to clear out senescent cells has been shown to calm inflammation, improve physical function and increase lifespan in animals.(1,2) It’s benefits in studies are vast: from improved metabolic function and blood sugar levels, pain reduction, lowered cholesterol levels and blood pressure, while improving bone density. Studies have also demonstrated its ability to prevent the breakdown of collagen from UV/sun exposure.

HYALURONIC ACID
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
The physical impacts of aging can be difficult and painful to deal with. Aging is associated with joint & mobility issues, stiffness, pain and numerous osteoarthritic conditions. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring protein and it’s found in every tissue in the human body. Approximately half of the hyaluronic acid in your body is found in your skin and synovial fluid, which is contained in the knees and other joints. It plays an important role in joint lubrication and mobility. Declining levels in the body are associated with joint pain, inflammation and disability. Hyaluronic acid levels also play an important role in your skin’s appearance. Skin aging correlates with the loss of skin moisture and an increase in wrinkles and skin laxity. The key molecule involved in skin moisture and it’s youthful appearance is hyaluronic acid.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
Lower levels of hyaluronic acid in the knee joint was shown to be directly correlated to pain and the degradation of synovial fluid.(7) Synovial fluid's job is to provide cushion and lubrication for joints. Synovial fluid contains high levels of hyaluronic acid and that aids in maintaining the integrity of the joint, lessening inflammation and preserving its function. A 2015 study reported that a three-month course of hyaluronic acid supplementation provided relief to overweight adults dealing with osteoarthritis. They experienced a steep reduction in inflammatory proteins called cytokines, and an increase in the concentration of hyaluronic acid in joint fluids, a reduction in pain and improvement in joint function.(8) Two animal studies have shown that hyaluronic acid supplements can help to slow down the rate of bone loss in rats with osteopenia.(9)
Skin improvements were also noted in numerous studies. A 2017 study showed a reduction in wrinkle depth and volume, improvement in skin’s luster, appearance and suppleness, after 12 weeks of treatment with hyaluronic acid supplements.(10)

QUERCETIN
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
Oxidative stress is a process that occurs due to an imbalance between antioxidant activity and free radical activity in the body. When free radicals accumulate, they are kept in check by antioxidants. Substances that generate free radicals include: food, medicine, pollution and other chemicals. If the antioxidants can't maintain a balance and the free radical accumulation worsens, this leads to damage to your DNA, fatty tissues and proteins in your body. The damage contributes to an array of age-related issues: from diabetes, blood vessel hardening, hypertension, neurological conditions and heart disease.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
Research on quercetin suggests it can neutralize free radicals while reducing the body’s oxidative damage. It’s also been studied for an array of other potential health benefits, from possible blood pressure reduction, blood sugar regulation, improvements in cholesterol levels, protection against degenerative neurological conditions often associated with aging, lessened pain and stiffness related to joint function, and allergy-symptom relief.
It’s also been shown to support cellular energy production through mitochondrial biogenesis, or the production of new mitochondria. Researchers have discovered it’s a powerful CD38 inhibitor.(5) It’s also becoming increasingly popular for allergy-sufferers. Quercetin inhibits the production and release of histamine and other allergic and inflammatory substances by stabilizing cell membranes of mast cells and lowering inflammation with the allergen-induced immune response.(6)

CURCUMIN
Curcumin is the active compound in turmeric, and has been studied extensively for multiple conditions. It has been shown to benefit inflammatory conditions (24), metabolic syndrome, pain (25), and to help in the management of inflammatory and degenerative eye conditions (26,27). Most of the benefits of curcumin supplementation are derived from its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In one randomized double-blind placebo-controlled human, supplementation with curcumin improved working memory, performance and sustained attention. Biomarkers also showed a significantly reduced total and LDL cholesterol.(28)
It’s also been studied for pain and inflammation-related symptoms from arthritis. One study showed that curcumin, when taken for 8-12 weeks at 1000mg/day, offered pain-relief and symptom-relief that was similar to that of taking ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium.(29)

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
As you age, your skin’s ability to manufacture vitamin D from the sun diminishes and this can lead to a vitamin D deficiency, which is a common problem. People who live in colder climates and those who work indoors are more likely to suffer from it. In addition, people with darker skin are also less able to produce vitamin D from sunlight and are at a higher risk for deficiency.(30)
Symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency in adults include: tiredness, aches and pains, bone or muscle pain, weakness, stress fractures, illness and depression.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
Correcting a deficiency is important for multiple reasons. The vitamin is so critical to immune function that low levels are associated with an increased susceptibility to infection, disease, and immune-related disorders.(31) Research shows that vitamin D deficiency is also linked to decreased lung function, which may impact your body’s ability to fight respiratory infections.(32)
It also plays an important role in regulating mood and warding off depression. In one study, scientists found that vitamin D supplementation improved symptoms for those suffering from depression.(33)
Vitamin D has other roles in the body, including reduction of inflammation as well as modulation of such processes as cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function, and glucose metabolism.(34)
