INSIGHT

NAD Is The Cell's Repair Fuel

NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is the cellular fuel that powers repair and energy processes.
NAD levels decline with age and that decline links to lower energy and more visible wrinkles.

ADVICE

Raise NAD With Lifestyle Changes

Boost NAD with lifestyle choices like regular exercise and a diet rich in fish, mushrooms, and green vegetables.
Minimize alcohol consumption to help maintain higher NAD levels.

INSIGHT

Environment Drives Most Skin Aging

Skin aging is driven mostly by extrinsic environmental factors rather than intrinsic biology.
About 80% of skin aging comes from external aggressors like UV, blue light, pollution, and heat/cold stress.

Are you currently using NAD in your skincare routine? As we age, the levels of NAD in our bodies naturally decline and play a factor in both decreased energy levels and more visible fine lines and wrinkles. The good news? You can make a major impact on your NAD levels with simple lifestyle changes like exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet rich in foods like fish and vegetables, as well as minimizing alcohol consumption.
