Lack of sleep, being stuck at a desk, too many late nights, over-exposure to the sun, and an unbalanced diet – each of these healthy lifestyle obstacles can affect your body at the cellular level, leading to depletion of NAD+ and the symptoms of early aging. The Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) in Thorne’s NiaCel 400 helps your body defend against these stressors by boosting the body’s production of NAD+, thus supporting healthy aging, optimal cellular metabolism, desired body composition, and athletic performance.
NAD+ – nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide – is a coenzyme found in every cell. As a key coenzyme, NAD+ plays an integral role in multiple body functions, including DNA repair, cellular repair, energy production in the mitochondria, up-regulating the sirtuin proteins, gene expression, and cellular communication. Not only do daily stresses of life contribute to the depletion of NAD+, the body’s natural level of NAD+ begins to significantly decline with age. A decreased level of NAD+ can begin to slow down vital bodily functions, resulting in many of the adverse symptoms of aging and age-related conditions.
High performance athletes experience aging at a different rate, which requires advanced nutritional support. Supplementing with Thorne’s NiaCel 400 provides advanced cellular support and enhances NAD+ production for athletes and individuals who require targeted clinical support.
