Understanding aging at the cellular level

Mitochondria = the powerhouse of the cell

First of all, you need to know that every cell in the human body requires energy to function properly. Mitochondria (Mitochondria) are like the power stations of cells. Mitochondria use nutrients and oxygen to produce the energy needed by cells. However, when mitochondria age , they will cause cells to reduce energy production, which is detrimental to cell health and Organs have a certain degree of negative impact, including: aging of the brain, heart , liver , pancreas, adipose tissue, skin, muscles, etc., or the occurrence of health conditions related to aging.

Scientific research has found that increasing the level of NAD+ can help improve mitochondrial aging. The main functions of NAD+ include energy conversion, metabolism, DNA repair , etc. However, as consumption increases with age, NAD+ production will also be reduced due to chronic inflammation, oxidation, etc., which in turn will cause the cell mitochondria to reduce the energy required to produce it. , causing DNA damage, oxidation, inflammation, etc., aging the body.
