Recent Research on Resveratrol Shows Potential Anti-Aging Benefits

New Research Shows Resveratrol Can Help Prevent Muscle Loss & Senescence in Mice Resveratrol is a heavily studied anti-aging polyphenol packed with health benefits. To date, the compound has been shown to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-senescence effects. A recent study has shown that Resveratrol can prevent muscle atrophy and senescence in mice. The study […]

Fisetin Effectively Eliminates Senescent Cells and Restores Stem Cells

Fisetin is a flavonoid found in fruits and vegetables and has been shown to have powerful senolytic properties.  In a new study, fisetin was shown to prevent immune cells from becoming senescent, allowing them to enter into a state of apoptosis or cellular suicide, a normal process at the end of a cell’s life cycle. […]

Heart Disease Related to Accumulation of DNA Damage and Oxidative Stress

As we age, the risk for clogged arteries, brittle blood vessels, and heart failure increase. A recent study looking at the DNA in numerous individual heart cells tells the story of why this occurs Buildup of Damaged DNA and Faltering Ability to Repair Damage In a ground-breaking study spanning 0 to 82 year olds, they […]

NAD+ and the Hallmarks of Aging Series – Part 9: Altered Intercellular Communication

Intercellular communication: communication between cells All species of animals, including the human being, are multicellular organisms (an organism that consists of more than one cell). In order to work collectively and maintain the homeostasis across multiple tissues, our cells have developed multiple different ways to receive, process, and transmit information between each other, including endocrine, […]

Inhibition of CD38 Increases NAD+ Levels

CD38 Increases as We Age and Drives Down NAD+ Levels CD38 is an enzyme that responds to inflammation, and consumes NAD+. Researchers have long known that CD38 levels increase, and that NAD+ decreases as we age. A 2016 study found that the increased levels of CD38 are a primary driver of decreasing levels of NAD+ […]

NMN Triples NAD+ Levels in Humans

(Pencina et al., 2022 | The Journals of Gerontology) NMN doses of 1,000 mg taken once daily doubles NAD+ levels (middle graph). When taken twice daily, NMN triples NAD+ levels (right graph). Dr. David Sinclair is a co-founder of Metrobiotech, whose NMN product MIB-626 was used in this research published Feb 19 2022. MIB-626, an […]

Why Dr. Sinclair takes NMN instead of NR

There has been little, if any, head to head research published comparing Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) and Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). However, Dr. Sinclair recently said he takes NMN instead of NR based on research he did that found NR did not work at all, while NMN increased the endurance in older mice such that they were […]

Lower Inflammation to Raise NAD+

Restoring NAD+ levels is crucial to maximize health as we age. Many supplements that decrease systemic inflammation also have direct and indirect effect on NAD+ levels. Supplements to Restore NAD+ NAD+ and NAD+ precursor supplements Increase endogenous NAD+ production Decrease NAD+ consumption in the body NAD+ and NAD+ Precursors We offer the most complete range […]

David Sinclair’s Supplement Stack and Longevity Strategy

David Sinclair, a professor at Harvard University is perhaps the foremost expert in the growing field of longevity research.  In a recent video, titled “Dr David Sinclair – Defeating Ageing & Living Longer | Modern Wisdom Podcast 343” [The video has been made private by the uploader], Dr. Sinclair discusses the supplements he is currently […]

NAD+ and the Hallmarks of Aging Series – Part 8: Stem Cell Exhaustion

Stem cells – the source of tissue homeostasis In human tissue, there are various highly differentiated cells specialized to perform distinct functions. For example, there are red blood cells for oxygen delivery, muscle cells for movement, neural cells for signal transduction, etc.  These cells are vital for life but they are also prone to various […]

Trimethylglycine (TMG) for Restoring Methylation, Homocysteine Levels, Heart Health, and Liver Function

TMG – the Insurance Policy Against Loss of Methyl Groups TMG is one of the most important ways to restore methyl groups because as the name implies, it has three methyl groups to donate. “The reason I take glycine, specifically trimethylglycine is to counter what I think may be going on with an NAD+ booster”… […]
