Key Points: For individuals with Werner syndrome, aging does not follow a normal timeline. With an average life expectancy of 55 years, this rare genetic disorder causes accelerated aging across multiple body systems, often leading to cardiovascular disease or cancer. However, a lack of treatment options has led scientists to search for non-pharmaceutical solutions. In… Continue reading NAD+ Precursor NR Improves Heart Health in People with Accelerated Aging, New Study Shows

UCI Scientists Identify New NAD+ Precursor that Counters Kidney Aging
Key Points: NAD+ is under intense investigation for its potential longevity effects, as its age-dependent decline is associated with exacerbating conditions like heart disease and neurodegenerative disorders. Ever more studies are showing that restoring NAD+ with its precursors leads to the mitigation of these diseases. Now, researchers from UCI have found that our body has… Continue reading UCI Scientists Identify New NAD+ Precursor that Counters Kidney Aging
NAD+ Supercharges Immune System Recovery In Older Mice, Hurts Blood Stem Cells of Young Mice
Key Points: Blood stem cells help our bodies repair and grow new tissues all through our lives, and scientists have found a way to keep them from dying off too quickly as we get older. Getting rid of or blocking an enzyme that breaks down NAD+, a molecule important for keeping stem cells young, can… Continue reading NAD+ Supercharges Immune System Recovery In Older Mice, Hurts Blood Stem Cells of Young Mice
Expert Explains Role of NAD+ in Preventing Age-Related Kidney Disease
Key Points: According to the World Health Organization’s latest estimate, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the ninth leading cause of death worldwide. However, despite decades of research, scientists have an incomplete understanding of the biological processes that initiate CKD. As such, there are no effective therapies that slow its progression, leading to fatal end-stage kidney… Continue reading Expert Explains Role of NAD+ in Preventing Age-Related Kidney Disease
Harvard Scientists Unravel the Role of NAD+ Transporter in Mitigating Age-Related Diabetes
Key Points Some of our cells are more important than others, particularly when it comes to losing them during aging. Like losing a piece of ourselves, the loss of some cells brings us one step closer to chronic diseases such as diabetes. Diabetes, characterized by high blood glucose levels, occurs for two primary reasons: In… Continue reading Harvard Scientists Unravel the Role of NAD+ Transporter in Mitigating Age-Related Diabetes
Most Comprehensive Study Places NAD+ at Forefront of Countering Brain Aging
Key Points: Perhaps the most important aspect of sustaining human health is the maintenance of energy. We can’t go long without consuming energy, which comes from potatoes, chicken, and other foods. Our cells utilize food’s nutrients to produce ATP, a molecule bustling with potential energy. Moreover, they self-destruct when ATP runs too low, demonstrating the… Continue reading Most Comprehensive Study Places NAD+ at Forefront of Countering Brain Aging
Unlocking Youth: The Combined Power of NAD+ and Exercise
Key Points: NAD+ is a vital molecule involved in the production of our cells’ primary energy source: ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Without adequate levels of NAD+ and ATP, our cells die, making us susceptible to disease and death. Thus, maintaining our NAD+ levels, particularly with age, is critical for a long and healthy life. Maintaining NAD+ Levels… Continue reading Unlocking Youth: The Combined Power of NAD+ and Exercise
Anti-Aging Doctor Reveals How He Diagnoses NAD+ Deficiency
Key Points: Dr. Darshan Shah is a Mayo Clinic-trained surgeon, now the CEO and owner of NextHealth — “The ‘Apple Store’ Of Next Generation Health.” In an interview with Dr. Oz, he discusses the importance of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and one of its precursors NR (nicotinamide riboside). He also reveals how he knows when… Continue reading Anti-Aging Doctor Reveals How He Diagnoses NAD+ Deficiency
A New, Multifaceted Approach to Increasing Cellular NAD+ Levels
Key Points: Multiple studies have shown that taking an NAD+ precursor increases blood NAD+ levels. Yet, aside from raising NAD+, there has been a lack of human trial-based evidence that NAD+-targeting supplements work against aging, even though some rodent studies suggest that they do. Now, published in NPJ Aging, Ford and colleagues from Northumbria University… Continue reading A New, Multifaceted Approach to Increasing Cellular NAD+ Levels
