Give your life a surge
Do we know why we age and why some people age faster?
Aging is caused by so many processes, however, DNA and telomere damage as well as mitochondrial dysfunction are the leading causes. Several natural compounds are pivotal to human health and healthy biological aging, notably NAD+.
Did you know that by middle age, our NAD+ levels have plummeted to half that of our youth?
Reduced NAD+ levels can result in fatigue and decline in metabolism – leading to weight gain and increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as well as age-related cognitive decline and muscle loss. Numerous studies have demonstrated that boosting NAD+ levels can reverse mitochondrial dysfunction and improve insulin sensitivity. One of the most e ective ways to boost NAD+ levels is by supplementing with nicotinamide mononucleotide, also known as NMN. NMN is a precursor to NAD+, and is rapidly absorbed and converted to NAD+. NMN is shown to be superior to that of another NAD+ precursor called nicotinamide riboside (NR).

All dairy products at Nature’s Fare Markets are free from added hormones or antibiotics.
