WHAT IS NIAGEN? Niagen, also called nicotinamide riboside (NR), is a naturally
occurring pyridine-nucleoside form of vitamin B3. It acts as a precursor to
NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. In the body, Niagen is converted
into NAD+. Here’s why this is important… NAD+ is found in every cell of the
human body. It is an essential coenzyme that allows cellular mitochondria to
function properly. NAD+ also allows the food that we eat to be converted into
energy. With age, our levels of NAD+ decrease. This results in mitochondria
dysfunction and a reduction in cellular energy. Mitochondria dysfunction not
only expedites the aging process, but also is a driving mechanism behind many
diseases. NAD+/niacin deficiency has also been tied to proper telomere health
and length. Telomeres reside at the end of each chromosome. Telomere
degradation, or shortening, is also a major contributor to the aging process.
WHAT IS CERA-Q? Cera-Q is a hot, new, and dynamic natural extract that works
to enhance memory and improve cognitive function. Used in traditional Korean
medicine, Cera-Q is a protein hydrolysate ingredient that is obtained from a
silk fibroin found in silkworm cocoons. As we age, a deleterious substance
builds up in the brain. It is known as beta-amyloid plaque. This plaque build-
up contributes to a host of debilitating cognitive issues and diseases Cera-Q
is also able to increase glucose uptake into the brain. This is important,
because Cera Q is able to provide support and energy, assisting the human
brain with all levels of cognitive tasks.
Features:
- Backed by ample clinical data, Ceragen works to improve memory, learning, and general cognitive function.
- It also supports cellular health in the brain and protects against the axonal degeneration associated with aging.
- Ceragen may also improve muscle endurance, promote healthy cell metabolism, enhance thermogenesis, increase NAD+ levels in cells and tissues, and support healthy skin.
- Niagen, a primary compound found in Ceragen, promotes mitochondrial function, which is important to longevity and cell health.
- Niagen also provides a beneficial effect on blood lipids by supporting healthy cholesterol levels.
