Effects of Restoring NAD+ with Its Precursors NAD+ Precursor Clinical Trials NMN NR Nicotinamide Niacin Tryptophan Choosing and Obtaining NAD+ Precursors The reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) with age leads to declining cellular energy production and increases inflammation. These factors lead to accelerated aging and an increased incidence of… Continue reading NAD⁺ Precursors: Unlocking the Fountain of Youth by Maximizing NAD+ Levels

Supplementing with Nicotinamide Protects Skin Cells From UV-Induced DNA Damage
While many people are fond of being under the sun, they are still aware of the deleterious sun rays that are known to damage the skin. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can ultimately lead to cell death by directly damaging DNA, inducing the production of cell hampering molecules known as reactive oxygen species, initiating local… Continue reading Supplementing with Nicotinamide Protects Skin Cells From UV-Induced DNA Damage
Increasing NAD⁺ levels May Bolster Innate Immunity to Coronaviruses
Coronavirus genomes, which contain the instructions for constructing and assembling the virus, lack the ability to encode enzymes required for energy production and the generation of biological building blocks. Thus, the assembly of these viruses is dependent on the utilization of infected host cell processes. The viral genome-encoded processes for energy production and the generation… Continue reading Increasing NAD⁺ levels May Bolster Innate Immunity to Coronaviruses
Vitamin B3 Forms in Dairy Products Identified by New Analtyical Tool
Vitamin B3 is a class of vitamins that comes in three different forms–nicotinamide riboside (NR), niacin (NA), and nicotinamide (NAM)—that are naturally present in some foods, added to foods, and sold as supplements. The vitamin B3 family is involved in important chemical reactions that synthesize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a compound that aids enzymes in… Continue reading Vitamin B3 Forms in Dairy Products Identified by New Analtyical Tool
