A year ago, scientists discovered that the “elusive” transport system can efficiently shuttle the N-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) into cells, which can then be converted into NAD+. This discovery has opened up new doors for various health and anti-aging studies.
While most articles gloss over the science speak we give our readers far more credit than the average person for wanting to understand not only that something works but why and how.
The Basics of NAD+ and NMN
NAD is a vital component of life that helps us carry out various tasks, such as converting food into fuel. It also repairs DNA damage and helps maintain a healthy aging process.
Unfortunately, decreasing levels of Read More
Up until recently, it was believed that aging was just the natural way of things. That as time passed, our bodies aged, degraded, often became more susceptible to sickness, and eventually would give out and we would cease to be any longer.
Modern medicine, nutraceuticals, and science are amazing and stranger than fiction these days.
Shin-Ichiro Imai, MD, PhD, (right) and Alessia Grozio, PhD, Researchers at Washington University have identified a new route within the cells of the body that can transport cellular fuel. This discovery could help scientists understand the various chronic diseases associated with the aging processes.
As cells get age, they start to lose their ability to process Read More
