Today I am talking a little bit about Niagen which is an anti-aging product that comes in capsule form and that has only one ingredient, 250 milligrams of nicotinamide riboside. Nicotinamide riboside is actually a chemical that is naturally produced in the human body and that is a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), that is basically used to produce or synthesize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Now, at this point, many of you are probably wondering what I am talking about, but this must somehow have something to do with anti-aging.
Well, the human body is composed of many cells, human cells as they are called which are a part of everything, every organ and so on. Unfortunately I cannot tell you an exact number since not even scientists or medics can, some say we have tens of trillions, others say it's in the billions, but we definitely have a lot of them, more than there are people on earth apparently (by the way the earth's population is approximately 7.3 billion). Skin also has lots of cells and those cells have a purpose and some day others appear and they are important for the health of the skin and every cell, this is the important part, has mitochondria.
Niagen revolves around helping the mitochondria work better and thus reduce the signs of aging and in fact, it does more than that but I will talk about that later. The mitochondrion is a part of every cell in your body and it produces energy for each cell, that is what it does and that energy is used by the cell in its activities.
Brain cells have mitochondria as well and because of aging, natural aging or premature aging caused by environmental or lifestyle factors, the mitochondrial function slows down, the cellular metabolism and cellular communication slow down. There have been tests on humans but also animals so we know this is a fact and it has an influence on aging as well as cognitive performance, it has been seen to cause neurodegenerative problems. Well, because cells get less nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as we age, Niagen delivers Nicotinamide riboside to help synthesize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and produce more, thus improving/boosting the cellular metabolism and how cells work and this has been shown in studies to help reduce or slow down neurodegenerative problems and aging as well.
So Niagen is great for those of you with aging signs that want to get rid of them. Check out the official website which you can find on Live Cell Research and you can order it from there as well.
