Key Points: Studies have shown that muscle strength drops significantly after the age of 40. Strength loss stems from the reduction of muscle mass which may ultimately lead to frailty, encompassing reduced mobility and troubles performing everyday tasks. Muscle loss during aging leads to impaired sugar (glucose) absorption since muscle is a key site of… Continue reading New Study Links NAD⁺ Precursor Niacin with Muscle Strength and Insulin Sensitivity

Cocktail of Nutraceuticals with NAD⁺ Booster Effectively Protects Against Liver Injury: New Brazilian Study
Key Points Nutraceuticals like nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-boosting niacin have been shown to alleviate and prevent aging-associated health conditions like metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease. Recently, researchers have begun focusing on their synergistic benefits when consumed in combination. Published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Galvao and colleagues from the University of Sao Paulo… Continue reading Cocktail of Nutraceuticals with NAD⁺ Booster Effectively Protects Against Liver Injury: New Brazilian Study
NAD⁺ Precursors: Unlocking the Fountain of Youth by Maximizing NAD+ Levels
Contents What Does NAD+ Do? 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
Clinical Trial Data Shows Vitamin B3 Raises NAD⁺ Levels in Human Muscle and Blood
A group of diseases that affect muscle mitochondria – energy-producing “power plants” within cells – are termed mitochondrial myopathies. The manifestation of these diseases can result in fatigue and weakness in eye muscles, and exercise intolerance – a condition called progressive external ophthalmoplegia. Curative treatments have yet to be elucidated for these diseases, however, therapeutics… Continue reading Clinical Trial Data Shows Vitamin B3 Raises NAD⁺ Levels in Human Muscle and Blood
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
