Declining nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) concentration in the brain during aging contributes to metabolic and cellular dysfunction and is implicated in the pathogenesis of aging-associated neurological disorders. Experimental therapies aimed at boosting brain NAD+ levels normalize several neurodegenerative phenotypes in animal models, motivating their clinical translation. Dietary intake of NAD+ precursors, such as nicotinamide riboside …

Effectiveness of a Fermented Functional Food on Telomere Dynamics and miRNAs in Middle-Aged/Elderly Healthy Individuals: A 2-Year Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Clinical Trial
Background: A specific fermented papaya preparation (ORI-FPP®), has been well established with non clinical and clinical validation in modulating redox and immune systems as well as mitochondrial efficiency. In addition, recent data from the Italian NIH (National Institute of Health) have shown that this compound was able to increase telomeres length and telomerase activity in …
