So…if NAD+ declines as we age, can we do anything about it?
That was the question I had after learning what NAD+ actually does in our cells.
And the answer is more interesting than simply “take more NAD+.”
Our bodies already have systems for making, using and recycling NAD+. So researchers are looking at ways to support those systems — helping the body create NAD+, preserve more of what it makes, and actually use it where it’s needed.
And THIS is where the science behind Vivix+ starts to make a whole lot more sense.
Its NAD+ Boost Complex includes NMN, a precursor our bodies can use to make NAD+, and apigenin, a natural plant compound that helps slow NAD+ breakdown.
In other words:
CREATE it.
PROTECT it.
USE it.
I think that’s a much easier way to understand what we’re actually trying to support.
But of course, I had another question. 😂
Did it actually DO anything?
Shaklee studied Vivix+, and one of the results they reported involved something called VO₂ max.
And when I first heard that, my reaction was pretty much…
What the heck does VO₂ max have to do with aging? 😂
Turns out — quite a bit.
And that’s where we’re going next Sunday.
For now, swipe through this week’s Sunday Science and tell me:
Does CREATE • PROTECT • USE make the whole NAD+ conversation a little easier to understand?
