Lipoic acid and NAD+: Reclaim the energy of your youth
Speaking of cellular energy, lipoic acid is a crucial nutrient for “cellular energy maintenance,” aka keeping your mitochondria pumping and your cells chugging along—all while avoiding the speedbumps caused by cellular stress.
The thing is, there are two forms of lipoic acid: R and S. For simplicity’s sake, we’ll just say that it is the R form of lipoic acid that is biologically active in your body—it’s the better of the two for fighting off those pesky free-radicals. A special R-Lipoic Acid formula achieves much higher blood levels of lipoic acid than traditional supplements—which is why it’s one of our most popular anti-aging products.
What about if you’re not just trying to proactively keep your energy levels up—you’re enmeshed in a bitter fight with general fatigue…the kind that you need to have more than a few decades under your belt to be familiar with. This is not the time to turn to your coffee cup—the effects of caffeine are short-lived and may not be all that good for you in the long run. Instead, turn to nicotinamide riboside, an alternative form of vitamin B3 that fights general fatigue, promotes longevity, and supports youthful energy production at the cellular level.
There’s a coenzyme in every cell called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (or NAD+). It, too, helps create ATP, the compound that your body uses for cellular energy (and production of which declines over time). So if you’ve ever felt like you don’t have the energy you used to, you’re probably right!
We found in our NAD+ Supplement the first commercially available form of nicotinamide riboside. This helps fight aging at the cellular level while also supporting healthy energy production. In animal studies, it’s helped promote youthful cognitive function and encourage longevity.
