Why You Need NAD, Part 1
November 1, 2018
Nicotinamide riboside (key ingredient in TRU NIAGEN®️ and TRU NIAGEN® PRO) is an innovative nutraceutical that I’ve christened “the nutraceutical of the decade”; today’s guest Frank Jaksch, Executive Chairman of the Board of ChromaDex, developer of Tru Niagen, goes me one further and suggests it has the potential to become the supplement of the century! How does it work to support cellular metabolism? The secret is its effect on NAD, the key energy compound within the mitochondria. As we age, or in disease states, NAD levels inexorably decline. Why does that offer so much potential in prevention of age-related deterioration? What’s the status of current research on nicotinamide riboside? How is it taken? Is it safe and are there side effects? Can it boost energy and athletic performance? Click HERE for part 2.

Optimal brain performance is an issue that affects all age groups: For seniors, the prospect of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease is real and immediate; for younger individuals in ever more competitive work and academic environments, optimal mental efficiency is imperative. “Neuro-nutrition” with nootropic agents is thus a hot topic. Leah Linder, ND, Medical Educator for Klaire Labs, joins us to discuss lifestyle and nutritional strategies for brain support. Adequate sleep, exercise, stress reduction, and healthy diet demonstrably forestall neuronal damage. Specific nutrients—like those found in NEUROTHERA™️and MITOTHERA™️—protect the brain and enhance neurotransmission via a variety of mechanisms. Click HERE for part 2.
