The latest research suggests NAD+ may play a central role in regulating inflammation for an effective—but targeted—immune response to dangerous pathogens such as the Coronavirus.

The human body is composed of cells in the trillions. Each cell relies on a resource molecule called NAD+ for the generation of energy we know as ATP. This energy helps cells perform their unique functions and survive. As the available knowledge of NAD+ expands, scientists have come to realize that it also plays a vital role in helping activate important signaling molecules for cellular defense.

Just like our planet is mustering up the resources to fight the ongoing COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, so too do our cells need energy to support cellular repair. NAD+ may hold the key to supporting cellular resilience in the face of immune stress, like viral infections.

You spend enough time reading up on B3 vitamins, you’ll inevitably come across a bunch of terms that start with methyl: methyl group, methyl donor, methylation. But before you get caught up in the hype surrounding the potential dangers of methyl donor depletion, it’s worth learning more about the existing research around B3 vitamins and methylation.

Most of us are aware there are steps we can take to support the health of our hearts, teeth, eyes, and other vital organs. But when it comes to our brains, we’re often stumped.

Over the last several years there has been an influx of research started on nicotinamide riboside (NR) due to its unique mechanism for raising levels of the coveted compound nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD).
Read MoreMetabolism is often thought of as the way our bodies process the foods we eat. We’ve all heard that a “slow” metabolism may lead to weight gain and that those people who never seem to struggle with weight may have “fast” metabolisms. But what does the word metabolism even mean and what does it affect outside of our waistlines?
Read MoreHeart failure is a common and devastating chronic disease that occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood to support all the body’s organs. While some medications are available to treat heart failure, there is no cure. Half of all heart failure patients die within five years of receiving their diagnosis.
Read MoreClinical trials in humans are essential to substantiating the health benefits of supplements. They provide important scientific evidence of effectiveness and safety. But how do researchers know what doses to use and what possible side effects to look out for in these trials?
Read MoreAlzheimer’s disease is a chronic condition in which a person’s cognitive functions, such as memory, language, and mood, decline with increasing age.
Read MoreIn a paper published in the journal PNAS, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis reported that glioblastoma tumors over-produce NAMPT, an enzyme which is involved in the creation of NAD.
Read MoreIn a paper published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, researchers at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Serres, Greece reported that rats who received NR tended to show worse physical performance by 35%. There are a number of things to be aware of as you read this study and digest its conclusion.
