Declining NAD and Matters of the Heart

Heart failure is a common and devastating chronic disease that occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood to support all the body’s organs. While some medications are available to treat heart f...

Can Boosting Metabolism Affect More Than Just Your Waistline?

Metabolism is often thought of as the way our bodies process the foods we eat. We’ve all heard that a “slow” metabolism may lead to weight gain and that those people who never seem to struggle with...

Raising NAD+ Levels May Support Mitochondrial Health and Fertility in Aging

Recent studies have shown that increasing cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels can restore metrics of fertility, such as oocyte (immature egg) count and health, among aging mice.

What the Science Says About B3 Vitamins and Methylation

You spend enough time reading up on B3 vitamins, you’ll inevitably come across a bunch of terms that start with methyl: methyl group, methyl donor, methylation. But before you get caught up in the ...

What is the Link Between NAD+ and Your Cells’ Innate Immune Response?

Just like our planet is mustering up the resources to fight the ongoing COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, so too do our cells need energy to support cellular repair. NAD+ may hold the key to support...

Two Experts Weigh In On Energy and Brain Health

Most of us are aware there are steps we can take to support the health of our hearts, teeth, eyes, and other vital organs. But when it comes to our brains, we’re often stumped.

The Various Stages Of Clinical Trial Testing And What They Mean to Consumers

Clinical trials in humans are essential to substantiating the health benefits of supplements. They provide important scientific evidence of effectiveness and safety. But how do researchers know wha...

Raising NAD+ Levels With Niagen® (Nicotinamide Riboside) Inhibits Coronavirus Replication in Preclinical Cell Model

New preclinical research shared on scientific publishing website bioRxiv.org has demonstrated that increasing NAD+ levels can boost the activity of protective enzymes called PARPs and reduce corona...

NR Shows Potential to Reduce Fatty Liver in People

A clinical study conducted at the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University Hospital and the University of Iowa has provided the first human evidence of the potential for nicotinamide riboside (N...

NR Promotes Mitochondrial Health and Protects Against Alzheimer’s Disease in Multiple Preclinical Models

Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic condition in which a person’s cognitive functions, such as memory, language, and mood, decline with increasing age.

No evidence that NR or NAD precursors cause brain cancer

In a paper published in the journal PNAS, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis reported that glioblastoma tumors over-produce NAMPT, an enzyme which is involved in t...

Nicotinamide Riboside Restores A More "Youthful" Circadian Rhythm In Mice

A new preclinical study published in Molecular Cell, out of Northwestern University, found that boosting NAD+ levels with nicotinamide riboside (NR) could turn back the clock on cellular aging in m...

New Study Deepens Link Between Heart Failure and Mitochondrial Health

The heart is a hard-working muscle. Each day it beats approximately 100,000 times without any breaks. It’s been estimated that over the course of an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more...
