Dogs and Humans Share Same Benefits from NMN Supplementation

Studies have shown the ability of NMN to elevate systemic levels of NAD+ in humans and ameliorate many of the diseases of old age. In a new study on dogs, NMN was shown to be safe and to have similar efficacy as in humans. Dog and human NAD+ levels both decline with age Dogs have […]

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 […]

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 […]

NAD+ IV increases NAD+ levels in blood plasma 400% in humans

This study was just published that documented changes in plasma and urine levels of NAD+ and its metabolites during and after 750 mg NAD+ intravenous (IV) infusion. A Pilot Study Investigating Changes in the Human Plasma and Urine NAD+ Metabolome During a 6 Hour Intravenous Infusion of NAD+ Surprisingly, no change in plasma (NAD+) or […]

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 […]

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, […]

Exogenous NAD+ Increases Metabolism

In a study published in 2018, scientists gave obese mice 1 mg/kg of NAD+ by inter peritoneal injection for 4 weeks, which restored NAD+ levels in the hypothalamus to normal levels. 1

The hypothalamus is the master regulator of metabolism. Decreased levels of NAD+ are found in hypothalamus with obesity, disease and the normal aging process.

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 […]

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 […]
