Is NAD+ the holy grail of staying youthful?
In all the talk about being able to turn back our biological age and become more youthful, one ingredient has really turned the nutritional world on fire. That ingredient or molecule is a form of vitamin B3 called nicotinamide mononucleotide or NMN. In initial trials, researchers showed that this form of vitamin B-3 could boost an essential enzyme in our cells. The enzyme, nicotinamide adenine dinucletide (NAD+), is responsible for DNA repair and is in every cell within our body. It is of key importance in our quest to slow down the ageing processes.
What Is NAD+?
NAD+ works with proteins to maintain health and is important for cellular energy.
As a newborn, we have an abundance of this precious enzyme, but levels diminish as we age. As NAD+ is responsible for just about every metabolic process in our cells, it becomes easy to see why it’s decline has a huge impact in the ageing process.
Until now, the only way of boosting levels NAD+ has been through following an intense exercise programme combined with a very low-calorie restriction diet. However new research indicates that taking an NMN supplement may lead to similar health benefits as those created through calorie reduction1.
Nicotinamide mononucleotide is a precursor for NAD+ which means that if NMN is present in the cells NAD+ will be formed.
Why is NAD+ so important to staying youthful?
This incredible youth boosting molecule has several essential roles that are vital in our wellbeing and preventing age related diseases. It is:
- Responsible for DNA Repair
- Within every cell in our body
- Involved in metabolic processes
- Generates adenosine triphosphate (ATP), our cellular energy
- Protects cells against stress and damage
However, increasing the level of NAD+ on its own is just part of the story in staying youthful. We need to introduce a family of proteins at this point. This family of proteins is called SIRTUINS. Sirtuins are a group of enzymes which speed up certain chemical reactions within our body, help to provide vital cellular energy by creating new mitochondria. When sirtuins and NAD+ are present together they become more vigorous in their work.
Regenerate by Rejuvenated combines NAD+ boosting NMN with potent sirtuin activating ingredients to work to promote energy levels and cellular health. Discover the benefits yourself – shop NAD+ DNA Supplement Now.
How Regenerate supports cellular health
As our bodies age we start to slow down, and energy levels decrease.
One reason for this is the decline of NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) a powerful molecule in every cell. It is vital for metabolic processes including cellular energy.
The only way to increase NAD+ levels has been through following a very strict regime of a restrictive low-calorie diet and intense exercise.
Regenerate combines a special form of vitamin B3, Nicotinamide mononucleotide (or NMN) with potent plant molecules to work in synergy to boost NAD+ to youthful levels and activate enzymes (sirtuins) that work to protect DNA and cellular health.
How NMN and NAD+ help to create healthy cells
Taking a supplement containing the molecule NMN stimulates an increased production of NAD+ within our cells. NAD+ then binds to enzymes and causes reactions in the body that have positive outcomes for our health.
One essential role that they play is interacting with sirtuins, a group of cellular proteins that rely on a good supply of NAD+ to perform a multitude of tasks in cellular and mitochondrial health.
Mitochondria are the special structures in our cells; that lose some of their power as we age and this contributes to many age related diseases and fatigue. A study found that increased NAD+ levels could restore mitochondrial function to enable an increase in the formation of energy.
To allow this interaction sirtuins need to be present in abundance; which is why we combined potent plant molecules with NMN in Regenerate
How plant molecules activate sirtuins
Certain foods have natural plant compounds which may be able to increase the level of the sirtuin proteins. Many of them are associated with the foods eaten in Japan and the Mediterranean diet. However, it is virtually impossible to obtain enough of these compounds to have a significant impact from our daily diet.
Regenerate combines plant molecules including, resveratrol, pterostilbene, fisetin, quercetin phytosome and astragalus with NMN to support your body at cellular level. Try Regenerate now.
