SUBLINGUAL NMN and NAD+

Why Sublingual?  NAD⁺, NMN and NR Capsules have Poor Bioavailability   Research shows NMN and NR are metabolized in the liver to NAM, and only NAM is delivered to the rest of the body. 1, 2 Providing NAD+ [...]

NAD+ for Metabolism and Brain, NMN for the body?

NMN IS BIOAVAILABLE AND STABLE IN BLOOD – NR IS NOT

NMN IS STABLE IN THE BLOODSTREAM, NR IS NOT Bioavailability is the fraction of an administered dose of unchanged drug that reaches the systemic circulation Since the Rabinowitz study in 2018, we have known that both Nicotinamide Riboside [...]

NMN is most effective at restoring intracellular NAD+

This new research examines what happens to NR, NMN and other metabolites of NAD+ in the bloodstream and how they effect intracellular NAD+ levels in peripheral tissues. Degradation of Extracellular NAD+ Intermediates in Cultures of Human HEK293 Cells(Nikiforov, [...]

How NAD+ Boosts ATP and What it Means for Health and Aging

Much of the attention on the benefits of restoring NAD+ levels focus on its role in activating sirtuins. However, scientific research shows that NAD supplementation has a clear beneficial effect not only on ageing itself but also on [...]

NAD⁺ Injection Restores NAD⁺ Levels in Brain and Cognition in Mice

In a recent study, 18 male APP/PS1 mice were intraperitoneally injected with 30 mg/kg NAD⁺ at 20 weeks of age and once every other day for 4 weeks. These transgenic mice were used as they develop the behavioral [...]

1st NMN Human Study Demonstrates Safety and Faster Utilization than NR

The first study of NMN in humans was just published. https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/…/advpub_EJ19-03…/_pdf/-char/en This japanese study looked at a single dose of 100, 250, or 500 mg NMN capsules to 10 men 40-60 years old. No adverse effects were noted. [...]

NAD+ IV increases NAD+ levels in blood plasma 400% in humans

This study was just published that documented changes in plasma and urine levels of NAD+ and its metabolites during and after 750 mg NAD+ intravenous (IV) infusion. A Pilot Study Investigating Changes in the Human Plasma and Urine [...]

NAD+ is the Transport Molecule Used by the Body, Not Nicotinamide Riboside

Restoring NAD+ levels in older animals and humans is at the center of efforts to slow or even stop the effects of aging. One method being researched is providing supplements  such as Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) that the body [...]

NMN Improves Cerebrovascular Function and Cognition in Mice

Decreased NAD+ levels are implicated in a wide range of age related impairments. There is  evidence that restoring NAD+ by treatment with nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) may reverse age-related dysfunction in multiple organs. For instance, prior research showed supplementation [...]

Slc12a8 does not solve the bioavailability problem for NMN Capsules

This research was published in January 2019 that found an enzyme named Slc12a8 that can transport a small quantity of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) directly into some cells. However, this enzyme is only prevalent in the small intestine of [...]

Increased NAD+ in Bloodstream of Nursing Mice Results in Healthier, Stronger, Smarter Offspring

This study fed lactating mice Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) in chow for 21 days after birth of offspring to measure the effect on the health of their pups who did not receive any NR. After 21 days, the pups [...]

NAD+ Optimizer Series – 3 Products Designed to Restore, Protect and Optimize NAD+ Levels

Research shows that declining levels of NAD+ leads to metabolic dysfunction, age-related diseases and is the key to the aging process. In 2015, we were so convinced that restoring NAD+ levels has more benefit for health for more [...]

Scientists discover pathway used by NMN to restore NAD+ levels

Yes, NMN can cross the cell membrane intact This research was just published that found an enzyme named Slc12a8 that can transport a small quantity of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) directly into some cells However, this enzyme is only [...]

Fisetin – A Powerful Senolytic that Extends Health and Lifespan

    LSG Fisetin Solves the Bioavailability Problem Fisetin has poor bioavailability when taken orally. Studies show Liposomal Fisetin is up to 27x more bioavailable, which allows smaller dosages that put less strain on the liver. 3 Our [...]
