Mitochondria, often called the “powerhouses of the cell,” greatly impact your energy levels, cellular health, and longevity. These tiny organelles generate the energy needed to power nearly every cellular process in your body, and perform many other functions beyond simply keeping the cellular lights on. However, as we age, mitochondrial function declines—a process linked to […]

This study demonstrated that NMN protected heart function in septic mice by reducing mitochondrial free radical production and correcting abnormal protein modifications in mitochondria.
“We combined cell biology, molecular biology, and pharmacological approaches to unravel a novel molecular pathway by which NAD+-boosting agent nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) regulates MSR in AD models.”
A recent study investigated the effects of NMN and NR on ovary health and function in middle-aged rats. “This study reveals that NMN alone or NR alone can rebalance mitochondrial dynamics by decreasing excessive fission in middle-aged rat ovaries, thus alleviating mitochondrial stress and correcting aging-induced folliculogenesis abnormalities.” This graph shows the number of healthy […]
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 […]
New research on NAD+ metabolism, NMN supplementation, and mitochondrial NAD+ levels was presented at the esteemed longevity conference, the Aging Research and Drug Discovery (ARDD) Meeting.
Mitochondria – More than Powerplants in Cells Mitochondria are the large organelles that exist in most human cells. They are the critical organelles that generate ATP through the respiratory chain and produce the intermediate metabolites that are essential to various cellular processes. During aging, the respiratory chain losses its efficacy and the membrane of the […]
