“More than a century of research has demonstrated that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an indispensable mediator of vital metabolic and physiological processes, including energy production, DNA synthesis and repair, and regulation of gene expression – across multiple species.”

“Emerging evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA, might help mitigate muscle loss in cancer patients and could potentially protect against the detrimental effects of chemotherapy on muscle.”

“Dr. Bruce Ames' Triage Theory Dr. Ames proposed that the body does a strategic rationing so that those proteins and enzymes in the body which are essential for short-term survival get their share of vitamins and minerals at the expense of other proteins and enzymes that are essential for long-term survival.”
