A human clinical study has highlighted the efficacy of a herbal NAD+ booster.
BluNAD Booster, which was created by the nutraceutical start-up Blue Helix Health, is a herbal solution that is designed to enhance blood NAD+ levels.
NAD+ is a crucial coenzyme that is involved in the production of cellular energy, meaning it plays a key role in various aspects of wellness, including cognition, muscle and metabolic health.
The trial, which involved 140 participants, found that BlueNAD Booster boosted blood NAD+ levels significantly — both on its own and in synergy with other NAD+ precursors.
Notably, when compared to other products currently on the market, BluNAD was the only one that could balance the activity of NAD-degrading enzymes.
Blue Helix Health's Chief Growth Officer, Elise Kaiser, stated: This study reveals that herbal NAD boosters can also be significantly effective in NAD support compared to existing precursors, and may even result in higher levels."
"Particularly intriguing is the balancing effect on NADases, enzymes that degrade NAD. This dual action of boosting NAD levels and regulating degradation enzymes offers a compelling advantage. So adding the Boosters to current market offerings, such as NR, NMN and NAD, helps with synergy and differentiation. The boosters also add benefits for balancing NAD degradation."
Attendees to SupplySide West will be able to access a preview of these results at booth 6704.
