Key Points: Recent scientific inquiry has deepened our understanding of how persistent psychological and environmental stressors can initiate widespread physical damage, extending far beyond mood or mental health. Chronic stress is a powerful physiological disruptor that elevates stress hormones and inflammatory mediators, driving alterations that predispose us to a range of chronic conditions that usually… Continue reading New Research: Magnesium, L-Theanine, NAD+ Combo Counters Stress Aging

The Latest Insight on Anti-Aging Therapeutics Targeting Cardiovascular Disease
Key Points: As the global population shifts towards an aged populace, a phenomenon referred to as the “silver tsunami,” so do the medical and socioeconomic burdens of heart disease. As such, as published in Cardiovascular Research, Kroemer and colleagues from Sorbonne University in France propose that aging is one of, if not the, critical risk… Continue reading The Latest Insight on Anti-Aging Therapeutics Targeting Cardiovascular Disease
New Study: Combining NR with NAC May Slow Telomere Shortening
Key Points: The shortening of the telomeres—the protective DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes—happens as we get older, and this phenomenon constitutes a hallmark of aging. Accordingly, shortened telomeres have been linked to age-related diseases affecting organs like the lungs, kidneys, and liver. Research suggests that genetic factors contribute between 36% to 82% of… Continue reading New Study: Combining NR with NAC May Slow Telomere Shortening
New Study Suggests NR Modestly Improves Cognition in Human Subjects
Key Points: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an age-related condition where arteries that carry blood to the limbs, especially the legs and feet, become narrowed or blocked by plaque buildup. This reduced blood flow can cause pain, numbness, and is even associated with impaired cognitive function. As published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental… Continue reading New Study Suggests NR Modestly Improves Cognition in Human Subjects
Fresh Insights: NR’s Effects on Inflammation in Age-Related Lung Disease
Key Points: COPD, an incurable disease associated with smoking and aging, accounts for approximately 5% of deaths globally, making it the fourth-leading cause of mortality worldwide. Moreover, declining levels of NAD+—an essential molecule regulating metabolism, DNA repair, and immunity—have been proposed to contribute to COPD and aging more generally. Along those lines, the effect of… Continue reading Fresh Insights: NR’s Effects on Inflammation in Age-Related Lung Disease
NAD+ Precursor NR Improves Physical Performance but not Resveratrol: New Clinical Study
Key Points: Dietary choices and a lack of exercise can promote the buildup of plaque in our arteries called atherosclerosis, the leading cause of death worldwide. When these plaques burst, they foster blood clots that can cause a heart attack or stroke. Before bursting, they can also reduce blood flow to organs, including our arm… Continue reading NAD+ Precursor NR Improves Physical Performance but not Resveratrol: New Clinical Study
NAD+ Precursors, Aging, and Longevity: Dr. Peter Attia’s Thoughts
Key Points: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a fundamental coenzyme present in every living cell, crucial for protecting our genetic blueprints (DNA), enhancing energy production, and boosting metabolism. Without NAD+, human life would cease to exist. Over the last decade, NAD+ has become a focal point of aging and longevity research, but the lack of… Continue reading NAD+ Precursors, Aging, and Longevity: Dr. Peter Attia’s Thoughts
Dr. Drew Says NR is the Best NAD+ Precursor
Key Points: Drew Pinsky, M.D., is a practicing physician specializing in addiction medicine. His initial claim to fame came from the show Loveline and he has since starred in shows like Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. He currently hosts several podcasts, including Ask Dr. Drew, where he interviewed Charles Brenner, Ph.D. — an established City… Continue reading Dr. Drew Says NR is the Best NAD+ Precursor
When More Fat is Good: Study Shows NAD⁺ Precursor NR Rejuvenates Fat Stem Cells
Key Points: While many of us would like to shed the pounds, our body fat is essential for survival. Amongst its many benefits, fat (adipose) tissue helps prevent dietary fat from getting into our organs. However, age-related fat loss negates this diversion, leading to the deposition of fat in our liver and muscles, which may… Continue reading When More Fat is Good: Study Shows NAD⁺ Precursor NR Rejuvenates Fat Stem Cells
NAD⁺ Precursor NR Reduces Side Effects of Anticancer Radiation Therapy: New Study
Key Points: Radiotherapy involving the treatment of cancer patients with ionizing radiation against tumors comes with a troublesome risk — it contributes to accelerated aging. A faster pace of aging leads to chronic health conditions in 73.4% of childhood cancer survivors. Surprisingly, no countermeasures against radiation-induced premature aging have been developed. Published in Aging Cell,… Continue reading NAD⁺ Precursor NR Reduces Side Effects of Anticancer Radiation Therapy: New Study
