NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is the naturally occurring oxidized form of NADH. Studies suggest its potential benefits include enhancing muscle function, protecting nervous system cells, and mitigating the effects of aging.
What Is NAD+
short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is the oxidized form of NADH. It’s main biological function is to carry electrons from one biochemical reaction to another, acting to shuttle energy within a cell and, in certain conditions, to extracellular locations as well. NAD+ also plays roles in enzyme activation/deactivation, posttranslational modification of proteins, and cell-to-cell communication. As an extracellular signaling molecule, NAD+ has been found to be released from neurons in blood vessels, the bladder, the large intestine, and from certain neurons in the brain.

NAD+ Effects & Benefits
- NAD+ is best thought of as a support molecule that is essential to cellular metabolism as well as extracellular communication. Research shows an important role in energy conversion, DNA repair, immune defense, and circadian cycles. Levels of the cofactor, however, are sensitive to disease state as well as age. NAD+ as the following effects that decline as a result of natural age-related decreases in the levels of the cofactor.
- NAD+ activates sirtuins and other enzymes, liked Poly-ADP-ribose polymerases, involved in DNA repair and inflammatory processes. Sirtuins are the same enzymes linked to the life-extending benefits of calorie restriction.
- NAD+ controls the production of the protein PGC-1-alpha, which protects neurons and other cells in the central nervous system from oxidative stress. Research in mice shows that this particular effect may be linked to improved memory, particularly with aging.
- In mouse models, NAD+ helps to protect blood vessels against age-related hardening and the deposition of atherosclerotic plaques. In some studies, the cofactor even helps to reverse age-related dysfunction of the aorta.
- Mice given NAD+ show increased rates of metabolism and improved lean body mass.
- Increased levels can increase muscle strength and endurance in older mice.
- NAD+ has been linked to extracellular signaling, particularly for smooth muscle. It may be of benefit in GI function. This effect is likely responsible for NAD+ benefits on blood pressure>

HGH Fragment 176-191 is a small, synthetic piece of natural human growth hormone (hGH). It is often referred to as the “lipolytic fragment” for its ability to boost fat loss. It has been shown to help lowers blood sugar levels and promote cartilage healing without increasing long bone growth, increasing IGF-1 levels, or altering insulin sensitivity.

PT-141, also called Bremelanotide (generic clinical name), is a heavily modified synthetic derivative of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It has been tested in clinical trials as a treatment for both male/female hypoactive sexual desire disorder and acute hemorrhage. PT-141 is an agonist for the melanocortin-4 and melanocortin-1 receptors. Research shows that it promotes sexual arousal and stimulates the immune system.

Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide, meaning that its structure is comprised of five amino acids. It is a secretagogue, and is considered to be an agonist, meaning that it possesses the ability to bind certain receptors of a cell and provokes a cellular response. Ipamorelin’s operational mechanics enables the peptide to stimulate the production of pituitary gland-based expression of secretions related to growth amongst animal test subjects. At the same time, the presence of the peptide has been shown to inhibit the production of a secretion known as somatostatin. Additionally, it has been determined that Ipamorelin has the ability to boost the production of IGF-1, or Insulin-like Growth Factor 1. Its presence plays a key role in the overall growth and repair of muscular and skeletal tissue.

Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic derivative of Epithalamin and a potential modulator of telomerase, the enzyme that maintains and protects the telomere caps at the ends of chromosomes (strands of DNA). Research suggests that Epithalon induces telomere elongation and may fight off the effects of aging as a result.

IGF-1 DES is a truncated, natural version (splice variant) of insulin-like growth factor-1. Naturally found in the brain, breast milk, and uterine tissue, IGF-1 DES stimulates hypertrophy and hyperplasia of a number of different cell lines. Research has shown this version of the protein to be more potent than standard IGF-1, mostly as a result of its enhanced bioavailability. Currently, researchers are looking at ways to utilize IGF-1 DES in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), autism, and a variety of neurological conditions. Research shows that it helps to maintain the health of synaptic connections in the central nervous system and, like all IGF-1, promotes the repair of muscle and connective tissue.

Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Developed in the 1980s, Melanotan 2 has been shown to increase sexual arousal, reduce compulsive/addictive behavior, curb hunger, and promote lean body mass. Research has shown the peptide to stimulate melanocytes therefore producing increased skin pigmentation and may help to combat autism when used during early childhood development.
