Resveratrol: A Review of Human Clinical Trials

  Resveratrol, a naturally occurring compound found in grapes, berries, and other plants, has been the subject of numerous studies for its potential health benefits. It is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular properties. In recent years, many human clinical trials have been conducted to investigate the effects of resveratrol on human health, including […]

NMN Human Trial Shows Increased Endurance, NAD+ Blood Levels, and Benefits to Bioage

A new NMN human trial using 80 middle-aged healthy adults showed that NMN supplementation was both safe and well tolerated.  It also showed that NMN significantly raised NAD+ blood levels, increased endurance, and benefited bioage. Study set out to determine safety and efficacy of NMN supplementation in 4 groups NAD+ levels are known to decline […]

NAD Precursors Cycle Between Host Tissues and the Gut Microbiome

Thus, circulating host NAM enters the gut lumen and is used by the microbiome for both NAD and NA synthesis.

Thus, gut microbiota provide an alternative route from NAM to NAD, bypassing the salvage synthesis pathway, in intestine and liver

Orally delivered NR was found in the GI tract but not in other peripheral tissues, indicating rapid metabolism of NR before it enters the circulation (Figure S4A). Only a small fraction of NAD in the liver and small intestine was M+9, indicating minimal direct assimilation of NR

NMN and Resveratrol Work Synergistically to boost NAD+ in Heart and Skeletal Muscle

A new study shows that the combination of NMN and Resveratrol works synergistically to increase NAD+ levels in both heart and skeletal muscle tissues in mice. Combination treatments shown to boost efficacy It is becoming more common to treat age-related diseases with anti-aging cocktails, including NAD+ or NMN to boost efficacy.  NMN has been shown […]

Intravenous NMN Results in Massive Decrease in Blood Triglyceride Levels

Previous human clinical trials have shown that NAD+ levels can be safely and efficiently replenished by oral NMN supplementation. Until a recent study, however, the safety and efficacy of intravenous NMN had not been firmly established. Intravenous NMN shown to be safe and effective Using 10 healthy volunteers, results indicated that intravenous NMN is both […]

NR Shows Ability to Promote DNA Repair and Increase Lifespan by 25% in Mice

The ability to repair DNA damage decreases over time, causing an accumulation of mutations that can affect cellular function, viability, and an increase in the aging process.  In a new study, mice engineered to age quickly were tested to see which compounds were best at promoting DNA repair. Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) shown to increase lifespan […]

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 […]

NAD+ Reduces Mutations and Incidence of Skin Cancer

In a new study by Brown University School of Medicine, it was shown that oral nicotinamide (NAM) supplementation decreased the incidence of keratinocyte carcinoma (KC) in high-risk skin cancer patients.  NAM is converted to NAD+ in the body and it is NAD+ that is believed to be responsible for for the decrease in Keratinocyte carcinoma […]

All About Shilajit And Its Medicinal Use

Lens, Finger, Hand, Camera lens, Cameras & optics,

Shilajit is a tar-like sticky black substance found mainly in mountainous regions. It is primarily found in the Himalayas and is vastly popular in South Asia. Shilajit has a range of benefits associated with it. It is quite famous for its boosting effects on male sexual wellness and fertility. You can see the dark color […]

Resveratrol Prevents Skeletal Muscle Atrophy and Senescence

Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural polyphenolic compound with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-senescence and antitumor effects.  A new study investigated the effects of resveratrol (RSV) on cigarette smoke (CS)-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and cellular senescence in mice.   Thirty-two male mice were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (N), the resveratrol group (RSV), the emphysema […]

Increasing NMN Transporter in the Brain Reduces Age-Related Muscle Decline

A new study shows that increased levels in the brain of a molecule called Slc128a, which transports NMN into cells, reduces a type of muscle decline in older adults called sarcopenia. Likewise, they showed that reducing levels of Slc128a in the brain caused the muscles to become fatigued and weakened again. Doubling Slc128a Dramatically Improved […]

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 […]
