Is NAD the real anti-aging miracle molecule?

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NAD

 

We use NAD every day. It helps us with essential basics like sleeping, breathing, eating and drinking. Short for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, our bodies naturally produce NAD in a variety of ways—eating certain foods, exercising and even fasting are all-natural ways to increase NAD.

 

Most people don’t think about their cellular health but remember, cells are “the building blocks of life.” Levels of NAD in the body are directly related to the aging process. Decreased NAD causes things like grogginess, laziness, unstable sleep patterns and tired skin. But with the developments of modern wellness and nutrition, we’re learning new ways to boost NAD naturally through physical exercise, diet and supplements.

 

To increase energy production and utilization, amp up cellular repair and promote healthy circadian rhythms–in addition to anti-aging benefits—here’s here are the 3 go-to rules for naturally-induced boosts of NAD.

 

For Your Daily Dose of NAD

 

Fasting. NAD aids in the process of turning nutrients into energy. Practiced in many religions around the world since ancient times, fasting is the process of reducing calorie intake and is an excellent method for indirectly boosting the body’s NAD levels. When are restrict and effectively plan our calorie intake, we can be sure to avoid overeating or consuming too much food/drink intake that works counterproductively to healthy levels of NAD.

 

Exercise. One of the easiest and most cost-effective methods for boosting NAD+ levels, exercise forces our body muscles to produce more powerhouse cells and thus amp up our natural NAD score.

 

Diet. Foods rich in NAD include everyday items such as dairy milk, fish, chicken and green vegetables. For the chefs out there, the creminimushroom and small amounts of beer are tasty options as well.

 

While daily exercise and a balanced diet filled with healthy, NAD-conscious sources of nutrition will always prove effective for increasing your natural NAD, and therefore restoring and maintaining your natural energy and youthful glow, adding NAD supplements into your routine is also a beneficial way to get the cellular dose of enhancement you need. 

 

HAVE YOU HEARD OF TRU NIAGEN?

 

TRU Niagen® is a cellular health product manufactured by Chromadex, a company comprised of some of the world’s leading scientists and business leaders, who are committed to uncovering the full potential of NAD to profoundly improve the way people age.

NIAGEN® is a unique form of vitamin B3 known as nicotinamide riboside (NR), and NR is what biochemists refer to as an “NAD precursor.” Precursors function as building blocks that create other compounds and NR is the highest yielding building block for NAD. Niagen is the first and only patented and FDA safety reviewed form of nicotinamide riboside.

What do the San Francisco Marathon, Tough Mudder, and infrared technology pioneer HigherDOSE all have in common? The brilliant entrepreneurial mindset of Katie Kaps. After graduating magna cum laude from Georgetown, Katie studied at The London School of Economics, and was a Consumer/Retail investment banker at Merrill Lynch before being recruited to be the marketing and business mind behind the San Francisco Marathon. Following the SF marathon, Katie joined Tough Mudder and helped grow the business from $10 million to $150 million in revenue by the time she left. There she did strategy, new business development, and managed the international expansion team, and was proud to be named international employee of the year in 2013. Katie and Lauren started HigherDOSE with humble roots in Alchemist Kitchen and quickly scaling the business through strategic hospitality partnerships, amassing a cult-like following of celebrities and athletes. In addition to pioneering a ‘space within a space’ model with existing brick and mortar locations like Equinox and 11 Howard (creating a minimum viable product for retail), Katie turned HigherDOSE into an 8-figure startup with only 4 employees, in addition to pivoting to being a product-focused company during the pandemic at lightning speed. HigherDOSE has now expanded their offerings into topicals and ingestibles and Katie and Lauren have starred in their very own “Bio-HackHers” YouTube series, cementing her foothold as a woman leading the wellness industry to a new frontier.
