NAD+ MULTI-PATHWAYS SYNTHESIS

Having optimum NAD+ levels is vital for healthy energy, fat and glucose metabolism, insulin regulation, DNA repair, inflammation response, and a host of other health effects. NAD+ levels and activity are elevated by four main pathways, and two additional secondary pathways from the botanicals in the Kimia NAD+ Booster. The following is a description of each NAD+ boosting pathway and which of the following herbs in the formula are activated by that pathway.

HOW IT WORKS

Proanthocyanidin bioactives in foods and herbs stimulate the De Novo pathway which converts the dietary amino acid Tryptophan into NAD+ through a series of steps

PATHWAY SYNERGIES

 Besides the two main NAD+ synthesis pathways the body uses to form NAD+ from its precursors (Salvage pathway from niacinamide vit. B3) and the Preiss-Handler pathway (from dietary niacin), the third pathway, known as the De Novo synthesis utilizes the dietary amino acid L-tryptophan, found in most complete protein foods. Several botanicals have been shown to increase the rate of the De Novo pathway.

NAD+ BOOST PATHWAY DEFINITION

De Novo means "new" in Latin to denote newly synthesized NAD+ using the dietary amino acid tryptophan as a starting material as opposed to the typical B3 based precursor such as niacin.
