The Role of Glycine in Human Health and Longevity

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid that is nonetheless necessary for many health-promoting metabolic processes. It is an integral part of protiens made inside the body, a precursor for important biomolecules like glutathione and creatine, and acts as an inhibitory (calming) neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Research strongly supports glycine’s potential to protect health […]

Neuroprotective Effects of NAD+ Nasal Spray

"Compared to traditional routes, the nasal administration of drugs can direct the rapid CNS absorption to brain tissues, thereby circumventing the hepatic first-pass metabolism and gastric degradation and allowing fast onset of pharmacological action."

Higher NMN levels in breast milk linked to better neurodevelopment in offspring

“NMN had the highest concentrations in breast milk among the NAD-related substances. We demonstrated, for the first time, a positive relationship between NMN concentrations in breast milk and the neurodevelopmental outcome of a child.”

Health Conditions Linked to NAD+ Decline

Many diseases and biological stressors disrupt NAD+ metabolism and are associated with low levels of NAD+, such as obesity, infection, alcohol consumption, and high blood pressure.

The Comprehensive Effects of Berberine for Metabolic Health

Berberine is a bioactive compound found in many plants, including goldenseal, Oregon grape, and barberry. It has been recognized for its health benefits for centuries, with its earliest known therapeutic use dating back to A.D. 200.  Today, Berberine continues to be an exciting focus of health and wellness research, with many studies investigating its potential for maintaining metabolic health.
