Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride converts into a molecule called NAD that is required by every cell in the body. These levels fall naturally with age and low levels are linked to poor ageing and contribute to a variety of harmful diseases.
NAD is a crucial enzyme that regulates energy, metabolism and survival and acts as fuel for many key biological processes, such as:
• Repairing damaged DNA
• Converting food into energy
• Fortifying cell defence systems
• Setting your body’s internal clock or circadian rhythm
Declining NAD levels lead to declining metabolic function and that can make us feel old before our time. Topping up with NAD just might be the secret ingredient to the fountain of youth.

Coenzyme CoQ10 is well researched for its cardioprotective properties. It is a powerful antioxidant that protects all tissues, especially the energy-producing mitochondria, the powerhouse of every living cell.
Optimal CoQ10 production occurs around 25 years of age, with a subsequent decline as we age. In heart tissue, the production of CoQ10 is approximately half of that at age 25, so it is clear that this nutrient provides vital support to our organ health as we age.
CoQ10 is responsible for generating cellular energy and reducing free radical damage, while maintaining a healthy immune system.
