Mindsip insights from this episode:
Reverse biological age and reduce glycation in 28 days with Nucito
A clinical study on the Nucito supplement showed a reversal of biological age by 1.26 years and a reduction in glycation within 28 days.
Restore NAD to alleviate menopausal brain fog
One of the top reported benefits of restoring NAD is a significant improvement in brain fog, especially for menopausal and perimenopausal women.
Avoid NMN to prevent inflammation from CD38 activation
Some studies show that taking the precursor NMN by itself can actually drive inflammation by fueling the NAD-consuming enzyme CD38.
Combat chronic inflammation to preserve NAD levels
Chronic inflammation causes an increase in an enzyme called CD38, which is one of the most prolific consumers of NAD in the body.
Understand why NAD precursors may stop working with age
Taking NAD precursors like NMN may stop working because the key enzyme (NAMPT) that converts them into NAD declines with age.
Address elevated CD38 to combat chronic fatigue post-viral infection
Chronic fatigue following a viral infection is linked to elevated CD38, which depletes mitochondrial energy by consuming available NAD.
Limit CD38 activity to preserve NAD levels
The inflammatory enzyme CD38 consumes 100 molecules of NAD for every one cycle it performs, while beneficial sirtuin enzymes only use about seven.
Utilize natural extracts for enhanced bioavailability
Using natural plant extracts like Sophora Japonica for rutin can be more effective than pure molecules like quercetin due to superior bioavailability.
