The Six Root Reasons of Aging

If you can slow your aging, can you delay disease? If you delay disease, can you can delay death?

“The loss of NAD as we age, and the resulting decline in sirtuin activity, is thought to be a primary reason our bodies develop diseases when we are old, but not when we are young.”

-Dr. David Sinclair, Harvard Medical School, Lifespan

It’s the supposed, inevitable decline that will swallow each and every one of us. Or will it?

Have you ever noticed that some people display vastly different health statuses, sometimes even in the same family? 

Prominent researchers in the last few decades have come to cautiously agree to a rough consensus of aging hallmarks. While it is very debatable how many hallmarks there are, I believe that these six are the primary hallmarks of aging as the others can be traced back to these six core hallmarks in one form or another. 

The six core reasons of aging are as follows: 

1. NAD and Other Micronutrient Deficiencies

Since NAD arguably acts as the most important enzyme in your body and is such a foundational building block of nearly every cellular process, it’s vital to keep your NAD levels optimal to slow the tides of aging.

Unfortunately,  the average adult is heading towards a significant NAD deficiency by their early 40s. But thankfully, with our patent-pending Vitality boost, the most effective NAD-optimizing supplement ever developed, you can boost your NAD levels to optimal as fast as a couple weeks (did you see Doc Jen’s results?). 

2. Oxidative Stress and DNA Damage

When human cells experience oxidative stress, it’s the equivalent of a Roman army putting down its shields and turning their backs on the attackers as they attack.  Since your cells always have attackers swimming around in the bloodstream, when they let their guard down due to fatigue (hint: NAD deficiency is the primary cause of this) the DNA goes under attack.

When your cells are too tired to fight the invaders, they lose their DNA and aging accelerates, plus, cells with broken DNA that continue to multiply can form tumors.

3. Glycation and Blood Sugar

When your levels of insulin resistance increase, it’s because your cells have experienced an overwhelming amount of glucose and fructose pulsating through your bloodstream. And when that happens, your cells begin to brown, like the sugar crumbles on top of creme brûlée.

This is a process called glycation.

In other words, you don’t want his happening to your cells. I don’t know about you, but burnt cells don’t sound very enticing to me. 

4. Chronic Inflammation

Foreign invaders (e.g., viruses and bacteria) damage cells directly, so our bodies have developed an inflammatory response, which recruits white blood cells to release toxins like oxygen radicals and cytokines (peptides with killing activity) to destroy the invaders.

Inflammatory responses are meant to be temporary, but unfortunately there are complications when you’re perpetually living in an inflamed state, like one the average American lives in.

Normal tissues can experience long term damage from an inflammatory response; your tissues can also be mistaken for a foreign invader (e.g. kidney disease), and a prolonged bad bacterial overgrowth in the gut can lead to breaks in the intestinal barrier (e.g. leaky gut). Inflammation is good in the short run, but awful for you in the long run.

5. Cellular Senescence

When your cells don’t function properly, some of them have the potential to turn into what we like to call zombie cells. Zombie cells are old cells that refuse to die; but not only that, they also travel in your blood and damage healthy cells, spreading toxicity and inflammatory proteins.

If your body is functioning properly, it’s designed to get rid of zombie cells. If not, your disease chances and illness symptoms will only increase as you age. 

6. Metabolic Dysfunction

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD is central to the regulation of cellular energy production, but inadequate NAD levels can impede energy-producing pathways and result in reduced cellular energy production, contributing to conditions like metabolic syndrome.

And what is metabolic syndrome? Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions stemming from metabolic dysfunction and leading to heart disease. 

NAD deficiency can also disrupt the balance between anabolic and catabolic processes in the body, which leads to disturbances in body weight, insulin sensitivity and overall metabolic health. 

Lastly, NAD+ is intricately involved in maintaining mitochondrial function and cellular repair mechanisms.

Reduced NAD levels can impair mitochondrial respiration and increase oxidative stress, and oxidative damage and DNA mutations can further exacerbate metabolic dysfunction and increase the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity. 

If you, like us, are astounded at how interconnected all six of these causes of aging are, we strongly advocate for testing not just your NAD, but up to 23 biomarkers with our advanced panel, one of the most advanced biomarker tests available in the world.

The Dirty Secret 88% of Americans Struggle With

88% of Americans are struggling with a problem that can lead to a plethora of diseases and low-life quality: Metabolic dysfunction. 

It may not sound as terrible as autoimmune diseases, diabetes or heart disease, but guess what? It’s where all of those diseases come from. 

If this interests you as much as it does us, here is the number one way to decrease your metabolic dysfunction, age you quicker and increase your likelihood of diseases: 

Eat processed foods. 

The most important thing to know about your food is not what’s in it. It’s what has been done to it to make it processed. And yes, even your organic box of cereal that’s made with all-natural ingredients can still qualify as processed poison. 

Did you know that the USDA and the FDA are fully aware of the dangers of processed foods, yet continue to allow grocery stores to sell them? All while knowing that this so-called food is slowly poisoning the consumers of the United States.  

Food writer Mark Bittmas says that since food is defined as a “substance that provides nutrition and promotes growth” and poison is a “substance that promotes illness,” then “much of what is produced by industrialized agriculture is, quite literally, not food but poison.” 

Dr. Robert Lustig compiles reasons for why Big Food’s processed diet is making us sick, and why it’s designed that way on purpose so that more sick people will require the drugs Big Pharma is offering. 

Dr. Lustig explains that of the eight pathologies (Heart Disease, Cancer, Stroke, Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes, Influenza and Pneumonia, and Kidney Disease) that are most commonly killing us, none of them are curable via drugs. 

Five of them respond to exercise, which is vital; however, as Dr. Lustig says, you can’t outrun a bad diet.

The only thing that responds to all eight pathologies is food. Real food nourishes us on a metabolic level. That’s because our bodies know what to do with real food. It breaks it down into assimilable vitamins and minerals, which convert into cellular food like NAD, thus, increasing metabolic function. 

Real foods give your body essential vitamins and minerals that help your body create vitally important cellular food such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)—one of the building blocks of nearly every cellular process in the human body. 

“If you do not fix your food, you continue to court disease and untimely death. If we do not fix our food, we will continue to court societal and planetary oblivion.”—Dr. Robert Lustig

In America, we spend 97.5 percent of our healthcare budget on individual treatment and only 0.5 percent of our budget on preventative care. 

In reality, this bad cycle of only reactively treating symptoms while continuing to under-nourish our cells leads to a collective, societal breakdown of our cellular health and metabolic dysfunction.

Thankfully, the people we serve are proactive, not reactive with their health. Here at Jinfiniti, we offer groundbreaking NAD blood testing and supplementation; two of the most powerful things you can do right now for your metabolic health.

Restock on your Vitality Boost or test your NAD levels here with the world’s only intracellular NAD test. Remember, our Vitality Boost subscription option is always the best deal and will keep you from running out just as your metabolic health is getting better.

Six Warning Signs of Low NAD Levels: Do You Have Any of These?

There are six warning signs of low NAD levels that can help you know when you need to optimize.

These signs are often the prerequisite to more serious diseases, but fortunately, there are simple ways to treat them all.

Do you have any of these?

1. Fatigue

Every day we hear from our customers about this common health complaint. Just this week, one of our customers in Europe told us that when he began taking our Vitality Boost, he didn’t notice much at first.

He’d been battling extremely difficult fatigue for a while. And although nothing changed at first, after just two weeks without changing anything else about his lifestyle or health habits, the fatigue went away. It simply evaporated. 

Here at Jinfiniti, we would think this an aberration if it wasn’t something we hear all the time

In one of our recent case studies, Dr. Dominic Fraboni, whom I spoke with on the podcast, The Optimal Body, was already very healthy and fit, but after adjusting to life with a newborn, lack of sleep and plummets in his energy and stamina, he was more than ready for a drastic change. 

After taking Vitality Boost for just seventeen days, Dr. Fraboni tripled his NAD levels and noticed a massive difference in his energy levels and stamina. 

2. Muscle Soreness 

If you’ve struggled with low cellular-level energy for a long time, you’ve probably struggled with fatigue.

The good news is that you can gain back the muscle recovery that you had in your twenties. 

NAD is a linchpin in the metabolic machinery, steering the complex dance of energy production and cellular repair. It acts like the conductor of a symphony, directing processes that are crucial for our body’s performance.

Emerging research reveals that NAD plays a large role in mitigating muscle soreness and aiding the body to recuperate after strenuous physical activity.

When our levels of NAD decline (due to age, excessive stress, or unhealthy habits) the harmonious balance within the cellular symphony is disrupted, leading to a delayed recovery process and, of course, really sore muscles. 

Faster recovery times are another thing Dr. Fraboni (among thousands of our other customers) noticed after taking Vitality Boost

3. Low Stamina

When our NAD levels wane, the energy stores within our cells face a shortage, and that leaves us lacking the endurance we probably took for granted during our youth when our NAD levels were likely higher. 

NAD is essential for converting the food we consume into the energy our cells need to perform everything from the beating of our hearts to the movement of our muscles. Low NAD levels disrupt this energy equilibrium, leaving us feeling drained and sapping our stamina. 

Low NAD levels are like running on an almost empty gas tank with the engine sputtering and struggling to keep up with the demands of a fast-paced world. 

This is one reason NAD just might hold the key to unlocking a future where stamina never declines even though our age increases. 

4. Unwanted Weight Gain 

When we have fat in places that we just can’t shake, it’s because our metabolisms are suffering. But it turns out that maintaining optimal intracellular NAD levels might be the key to tipping the scales in our favor. 

NAD acts as a coenzyme in pivotal processes like glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation—which are fancy descriptions for processes that essentially convert nutrients into usable energy.

Intracellular NAD levels are the thing that influences how efficiently this energy is produced and utilized. When our NAD levels fall, metabolic pathways become less efficient, which can lead to a decreased ability to burn calories, and thus, an excess storage of fat. 

Although we don’t guarantee weight loss, many of our customers have experienced weight loss as a welcome side effect of optimizing their metabolic health with Accuri® Vitality Boost

5. Brain Fog/ Long Covid 

NAD operates as a neurotransmitter in the brain. This may be why recent studies suggest that NAD depletion could be a key contributor to brain fog—a symptom that has lately been attributed to several health concerns, including the debilitating illness of long Covid.

Mitochondrial decline within brain cells leads to lower communication between neurons as well as lower energy production.

This simply means that if your NAD levels are low, you could experience symptoms under the label of “Brain Fog”—which includes but isn’t limited to memory recall, attention span, and mental fatigue.

Optimizing our NAD levels is a promising strategy for not only combating brain fog but also for promoting long-term brain health and vitality even as we age. 

6. Poor Sleep Quality 

In addition to energy metabolism, NAD plays a multifaceted role in the regulation of our sleep-wake cycles. It’s a critical cofactor in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecule that fuels our cells, as well as sirtuins, including those related to sleep regulation.

Optimal NAD levels ensure that we enjoy well-functioning circadian rhythms, which recycle into a restored physical system. 

On the flip side, however, chronic sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality is a cyclical issue that leads to further depletion of NAD reserves. With declining NAD levels, energy production within cells further falters, affecting stamina and hindering the body’s ability to rejuvenate and repair. 

But the good news is that we’ve discovered that by optimizing our NAD levels, we’re able to bolster sleep quality and interrupt the cycle of depletion.

As a matter of fact, improved sleep is one of the first changes our customers notice once they begin taking our Vitality Boost

We all know the effect a poor night’s sleep versus a good night’s sleep can have on our brains, bodies, and daily activities. It could be argued that sleep is the most important ingredient our bodies need to repair. 

Are you experiencing any of the signs on this list? 

So have most of us. 

As unpleasant as they might be, these signs serve as reminders when our NAD levels are suffering, and consequently, our entire health system. 

Thankfully, we know from thousands of tests (from everyday people as well as leading scientists, biohackers, MDs, and health professionals) that our formula will optimize, not just improve, intracellular NAD for 90% of people alone, which no other NAD supplement can come close to promising.

No other supplement brand on the market offers the ability to take their supplement and test to see if it’s working. 

And that’s because no other brand on the market compares to the efficacy and transparency of Jinfiniti

In fact, we believe in our Vitality Boost so much that we back it with a 60-day Money Back and Efficacy Guarantee.

Try it for yourself to experience how good you can feel.

Three Reasons Most NAD+ Supplements Don’t Work

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. It’s a special molecule you probably know as NAD and it’s all the rage right now, mostly because this coenzyme is crucial to nearly every cellular process in the human body.

It’s linked to longevity and vital health span, to wiping out chronic fatigue and eliminating your risk for disease. Unfortunately, most NAD supplements don’t work very well, and for three main reasons.

Aside from the incredible benefits and wild claims that many NAD supplement companies make, most of them are unable to deliver on their promises. 

Here are three reasons why most NAD plus supplements don’t work.


Boost your NAD levels to optimize your health and longevity. Get an exclusive 20% OFF today by using code Blog20Click here to order.

#1 Many NAD supplements are made of the wrong molecule. 

    Some companies make and sell NAD supplements as a whole molecule, which doesn’t pass the gut barrier because it’s simply too big. Jinfiniti’s Accuri® Vitality Boost is made of a patent-pending formula that incorporates the smallest molecule of NAD+ precursor, Creatine Monohydrate, D-Ribose and Niacinamide where creates maximum absorbency.. 

    #2 Most NAD supplements are lacking in quality and efficacy.

      Unfortunately, most NAD supplement companies source less fresh or lower-quality ingredients, and because they can’t confirm their supplement’s efficacy with in-house testing (like Jinfiniti can) they aren’t able to track actual results. 

      Here at Jinfiniti Precision Medicine, we are more rigorous than most because our founders have a combined 60+ years of research and development in this field.

      (Fun fact: our founder, Dr. She, discovered the Type I Diabetes gene.)

      We only source the purest, freshest ingredients and we don’t stop there. We then lab test our products to ensure the highest efficacy possible. 

      And by the way, we are the only company that has in-house NAD lab results because we are the creators of the only intracellular NAD test in the world. 

      #3 Most NAD supplements are suggesting the wrong dosage. 

        The reason most companies underdose their NAD supplementation is that they cannot measure and track NAD levels in your blood as we can.

        In the Jinfiniti labs, we see results from other providers all the time. We have tested some of the biggest brands in the world (the ones that spend millions in advertising) and after testing, we’ve observed that our clients only receive incremental improvement from other NAD supplements.

        At best, they’ll experience a 20-40% improvement. 

        This compares to what you might have seen with Doc Jen, who tripled her NAD levels in four weeks, from an NAD level of 18.3 to 60.4 (over 300%). Her husband, Dr. Dominic Fraboni, who took the Vitality Boost with her, also experienced a 300% increase.  

        But don’t just take my word for it. Listen to them tell their incredible story here

        There’s no question that NAD is essential to longevity and optimization.

        It’s arguably the most critical player in cellular energy production; and it serves as a coenzyme for various enzymes involved in DNA repair, cell signaling, and the regulation of circadian rhythms.

        Optimal levels of NAD are necessary to optimize your health or slow aging.

        But with so many options on the market, which route is the best? 

        Here’s our suggestion, based on thousands of consumer tests and lab results: Test your levels.

        Here at Jinfiniti, we empower you with the world’s only intracellular NAD test, available here

        And thankfully, no matter how low your levels are, we can help you optimize them. 

        Our Vitality Boost (the same NAD supplement that Doc Jen and Dr. Fraboni took) is the NAD supplement with the highest efficacy in the world.

        We know from thousands of tests from everyday people (as well as leading scientists, biohackers, MDs and health professionals) that our formula will optimize, not just improve, intracellular NAD for 90% of people alone, which no other NAD supplement can come close to promising. 

        And because we stand behind our NAD-optimizing Vitality Boost, we encourage you to retest and see the results for yourself. 

        No other supplement brand on the market offers the ability to take their supplement and test it to see if it’s working. 

        That’s because no other supplement on the market compares to the efficacy and transparency of Jinfiniti’s Vitality Boost

        3 Things That Age You Quickly

        Here at Jinfiniti, we often talk about the things we can do to optimize our health and increase our longevity. But there are also 3 things that can age you quickly unless you actively avoid them.

        Let’s dive into the first one. 

        1. POOR SLEEP 

        The National Council on Aging discovered that even just one night of lost sleep activates genes related to aging in older adults. They also found that regularly sleeping less than six hours per night may be linked to dementia and stroke-related brain changes as early as middle age.

        Lack of sleep may contribute to early onset of many chronic conditions, including dementia, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and diabetes. 

        As we age, our body tissues naturally experience some damage and our immune system has a way to remove these damaged cells. Sleep is pivotal to this system because it regulates the immune system and its inflammatory response, helping to remove the damaged cells. So if you’re not getting at least seven hours of sleep per night, your body will show accumulation of inflammation and tissue damage. 

        So what’s the solution? Better and longer sleep, of course. But how do we achieve that? 

        Here are a few tips: 

        1. Avoid screens for an hour before bedtime. 
        2. Keep your bedroom temperature cool (65°F (18°C) is ideal). 
        3. Avoid caffeine (especially coffee) in the afternoon and minimize alcohol in the evening. 
        4. Keep your bedroom as dark as possible to keep light from interfering with your melatonin production. 
        1. CHRONIC STRESS

        Long-term stress is a three-stage killer.

        It begins with the release of the hormones cortisol and adrenaline (which cause inflammation and damage to both DNA and cells if they flood your body for a prolonged period of time). It continues with oxidative stress, which is something we talk about quite a bit here at Jinfiniti.

        Like stress hormones, oxidative stress also damages cells and DNA, but  it also damages proteins—all of which lead to premature aging. 

        Finally, chronic stress affects telomeres, which are the protective caps on the end of your chromosomes that are thought to be a marker of biological aging. Chronic stress is associated with shorter telomeres, which is a serious stage in the problem of premature aging.

        So that’s the bad news about stress.

        The good news is that if chronic levels of stress are removed, the human body is able to recover and its once-damaged processes can return to healthy levels of functioning.

        The body has mechanisms that can repair damaged cells and tissues, and these mechanisms become more high-functioning as the stress is constantly reduced. 

        Here are a few of our ideas to reduce chronic stress:

        1. Take a brisk walk. Even a 10-minute walk when you’re feeling stressed can help “burn off” stress hormones and release your body’s feel-good chemicals, which promote relaxation and counter all the physical symptoms associated with stress. 
        2. Try mindfulness. Many people think of mindfulness as a meditation practice, and maybe that’s what you love to do. If not, a simple act of listening to a relaxing song while taking your morning shower or holding a warm beverage while sitting on your front porch, listening to the birds sing, can be acts of mindfulness as well. 
        3. Laugh more. Dr. William Fry refers to laughter as ‘internal jogging’ because it reduces stress hormones and becomes an aperture of joy and hope through which you can look at your life. Whether it’s your children or grandchildren that make you laugh or your favorite TV show, incorporate more opportunities for joy and laughter in your life. 
        1. POOR DIET CHOICES

        Aging is a culinary tale, and in this tale, inflammatory foods are the villain.

        The havoc that ensues from inflammatory foods accelerates the aging process, leaving a trail of oxidative stress and cellular damage. 

        Mitochondria (the energy powerhouses of our cells) has to burn the food we eat to produce ATP (energy), but if we’re eating rice, fried foods or any sugars, (and especially if our mitochondria is already not functioning properly) we’re going to produce free radicals—and free radicals are a big cause of disease and aging. 

        Glycation—or, the modification of proteins—is another physiological process that comes out of our diet choices, and it’s a major cause of aging. Not to be confused with glucose (which measures how much sugar is in your blood) glycation measures how much sugar is turning into proteins. 

        If you eat a chocolate bar, you’ll experience high levels of glycation (GSP). But it’s not only about how much sugar you eat—it’s also the interaction of your specific genes in combination with the sugar you’re intaking.

        Since the foods we consume can either be allies in the battle against time or unwitting accomplices in hastening the aging process, let’s look at the foods that are best left on the shelf: 

        1. Sugar. The Big Bad Guy of inflammatory foods, excessive sugar intake causes glycation, one of the cornerstone causes of premature aging (as explained above). 
        2. Trans Fats. Found in many processed and fried foods, trans fats are notorious for wreaking havoc on our cells. They increase inflammation and contribute to oxidative stress. Check ingredient labels diligently and steer clear of foods that list “partially hydrogenated oils.” 
        3. Processed Meats. Laden with preservatives and additives, processed meats can be detrimental to our attempts to defy aging. Instead, choose lean protein sources like poultry, fish, legumes and nuts instead.
        4. Refined Grains. Often found in white bread, white rice and various processed foods, refined grains cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. This triggers a cascade of events leading to inflammation and increased free radicals—in other words, premature aging. Opt instead for unrefined grains or nut and seed options.
        5. Alcohol. NAD levels plummet within the first hour of drinking alcohol, so be mindful of if, when and how you consume alcohol.

        Feeling overwhelmed?

        Don’t be.

        We all eat our favorite (not-so-healthy) treats from time-to-time. Sometimes we get stressed. Other times we don’t get the sleep we need. And that’s okay. 

        The most important thing we can do is monitor our biomarker levels in case any of our important physiological processes are malfunctioning in a dangerous way. 

        Here at Jinfiniti we recommend testing with one of our biomarker panels because they are the most complete biomarker tests in the world. There are many biomarker tests on the market, but there are none as complete or accurate as Jinfiniti’s. 

        Fifty percent of the biomarkers we test for aren’t testable anywhere else in the world! A thorough, comprehensive panel (we have two, priced for your needs) can reveal to you where your body is doing well and where it needs help. 

        And if you need to re-stock or purchase our evidence-backed NAD optimization supplement, Accuri® Vitality Boost (backed by our 30-day Money Back Guarantee) you can do so here.

        No matter where you’re at on your journey to defy aging and optimize your health, we are here to support you in reaching your goals.

        After all, we’re on the same journey as you.

        How to Know Which Supplements to Take 

        Here’s an interesting experiment to find out which supplements are worth taking. 

        Let’s say you walk into your local health food store and head to the supplement section, looking for some Vitamin C.

        First, you ask yourself how many milligrams of Vitamin C is right for your body.

        Once you’ve decided that, you study the ten different brands on the shelf and do your best to figure out which brand is the best, which brand makes their supplements with the best ingredients, and which brand has the highest efficacy. 

        Is the $10 Vitamin C really as good as the $30 Vitamin C? 

        Here’s a predictive conclusion of that experiment: Supplement shopping is confusing. 

        That’s because even though we have a saturated market with countless supplement options, there aren’t very good standards for those supplements and, furthermore, most supplement brands don’t offer any testing to back up the claims they make. 

        More often than not, because of the limited transparency and regulation in the supplement industry, the supplements we take are both poorly and cheaply made. And much of the time, we take too much or not enough for what our bodies require. 

        So here are a few questions you should ask yourself when shopping for supplements and how to answer them: 

        1. Which supplement do I really need the most? And how much of it do I need? 

        The best way to figure out which supplement your body needs is to have a thorough understanding of how well your body is working, and which systems are not working as well as they should be. It’s really hard to take the right supplement when you can’t see what is right for your body.

        And how do you figure out what’s right for your body?

        You test, test, test. 

        Once you’ve figured out what needs help, you can decide on the right supplement and the right dosage to support you. 

        There are many biomarker tests on the market, but none as complete or accurate as Jinfiniti’s.

        In fact, fifty percent of the biomarkers we test for aren’t testable anywhere else in the world.

        A thorough, comprehensive biomarker panel (we have two, priced for your respective needs) can reveal to you where your body is doing well and what needs help. 

        1. Which supplement brand is the best for the money you want to pay? 

        Whatever you do, don’t go to Amazon and buy the cheapest supplement you can find. Really cheap supplements are often better not taken at all because of how poorly they are made.

        Before purchasing any supplement, we recommend researching the reputation of the company.

        After all, this is your health you’re trying to optimize. If the brand isn’t a good one, you could be wasting your time and your money. 

        A highly-respected supplement brand will have good reviews and powerful testimonials. They’ll also back up their claims with evidence and offer helpful customer support if you need it. 

        1. After I’ve taken the supplement, how can I know if it’s really working for me? 

        There are two ways to know if your supplement is working for you.

        The first way is pretty simple: Results. You should start feeling better. You should start noticing things working that weren’t working so well before. Your painful symptoms should begin to alleviate. 

        The next way to really know whether your supplement is working or not is to test again.

        Here at Jinfiniti, we highly recommend re-testing (especially NAD levels) to see if your body has begun to optimize on a cellular level. There’s truly no better way to know if the Jinfiniti supplement (or any other NAD precursor supplement) is working as well for you as you believe it to be. 

        From the thousands of tests that have come through Jinfiniti labs, we know that our formula will optimize—not just improve—intracellular NAD for 90% of people; something that no other NAD supplement can come close to promising. 

        And because we stand behind our NAD-optimizing Accuri® Vitality Boost, we encourage you to re-test and see the results for yourself! 

        We have thousands of verified, tested results of NAD optimization that we receive each day from everyday people as well as leading scientists, biohackers, MDs, and health professionals.

        No other supplement brand on the market offers the ability to take their supplement and test to see if it’s working. 

        And that’s because no other brand on the market compares to the efficacy and transparency of Jinfiniti

        We even back it with a 30-day Money Back and Efficacy Guarantee.

        No matter where you’re at in your supplement journey, we’re here for you—to answer questions, help you take the reins on testing and supplementation, and support you in living your best, healthiest, most optimized life.

        If you need to re-stock or purchase our evidence-backed NAD optimization supplement, Accuri® Vitality Boost (backed by our 30-day Money Back Guarantee) you can do so here.

        4 Ways Your Health Might be Suffering Right Now

        Your body lets you know when your health might be suffering. It tells you when you have a cold, when you’ve been eating poorly, or when you are so tired upon waking up that you have to drag yourself to that first cup of coffee. 

        But what you may not know is that your health and the way you feel could be suffering mightily if you have a shortage of one critical molecule in your body, NAD.

        When our NAD levels are suboptimal, our health suffers in a big way.

        That includes a few things like: 

        • Cellular aging
        • Insulin resistance 
        • Chronic fatigue 
        • High oxidative stress 

        Unfortunately, the list goes on. 

        But thankfully, based on thousands of test results and studies we’ve done, we now have a solution. 

        That’s because every day I talk with people just like you who have optimized their NAD levels and experienced life-changing health benefits. 

        Here are 3 key physical signs that our customers notice when taking our science-based Accuri® Vitality Boost:

        1. A sharp decrease in inflammation 

        Inflammation is the #1 cause of most diseases, and one of NAD’s most powerful properties is its anti-inflammatory nature. On a microscopic level, your cells will be able to clean up and function more optimally, which in turn benefits your exterior, too! Swelling and bloating decreases and skin problems clear up, too. 

        1. A massive increase in natural energy levels 

        Say bye to the jitters from your  mid-afternoon coffee or energy drink! NAD fuels your cells with real energy, enabling you to think clearer and experience razor-sharp vision, while your stamina becomes what it was a decade ago. (And yes, that includes all of the kinds of stamina—sexual included!) A large increase in energy is one of the most commonly-reported physical benefits our customers report.

        1. A noticeable improvement in your sleep  

        Poor sleep quality can ruin more than just your day: it can wreak devastation on your whole body and wellbeing. And what does NAD have to do with this? NAD is involved with the genes that have to do with sleeping, so when you have lower NAD levels, it’s possible you will experience poor sleep quality. Optimal NAD levels = optimal sleep!

        These are just three of the physical benefits you can experience from taking our evidence-backed Accuri® Vitality Boost

        Every day, our customers tell us the life-changing transformations they’re experiencing from optimizing their NAD levels. The exact benefits vary from person to person (some customers report things as varied as hair growth and athletic performance boosts!) but nearly everyone experiences something physically transformative. 

        With verified lab-tested results, Accuri® Vitality Boost raises your NAD levels within as little as two weeks. Guess how many other products on the market can do that for you? None of them. 

        If you’re curious about whether or not your NAD levels need to be optimized, you can grab the only NAD test in the world available [here.] 

        If you need to re-stock or purchase our evidence-backed NAD+ supplement, Accuri® Vitality Boost, the only supplement backed by both a 30-day Money Back and Efficacy Guarantee, you can do so [here.] 

        No other company backs their products with the opportunity to verify the results. Just us. 

        In my next blog post, we’re going to talk about the most important biomarkers you need to be paying attention to in order to slow your aging in its tracks.

        The Big Lie We Believe About Our Health

        You’ve been told you’re healthy…but let’s be honest, you may not feel as great as you did when you were 30, assuming you were a healthy 30-year-old. The big lie that most of us believe is that we’re “healthy” when actually we’re just normal.

        And in America, the harsh truth is that “normal” isn’t very healthy at all.

        Normal isn’t healthy. Optimal is healthy. Don’t settle for normal when you can be optimal. And if you’re 50+ years old, your NAD levels are likely not optimal unless you’ve been taking our vitality boost for quite some time.

        Did you know that according to extensive research, the average healthy 50-year-old has lost 50% of their NAD levels? 

        Even individuals with high activity levels usually have lower cellular NAD than the average person their age.

        That’s because NAD is fuel for cellular function (over 500 cellular processes, in fact). And whether you’re exercising your body or just aging gracefully, you are definitely burning fuel. 

        The good news is that you can get your NAD levels optimized and experience all that your body will offer you from an optimized state. And there’s never been a better time to begin than now. 

        If you’re curious about where your NAD levels are, you can grab the only NAD test available [here.] 

        If you need to re-stock on our evidence-backed NAD+ supplement, Accuri® Vitality Boost, the only supplement backed by both a 30-day Money Back and Efficacy Guarantee, you can do so here.

        Our Accuri® Vitality Boost subscription offer is our best value and keeps you stocked on your favorite supplement. Activate your monthly subscription here and save $20 per month. 

        No other company backs their products with the opportunity to verify the results. Just us. 

        Plus, a little known secret we should let you in on is that most supplement companies are not research-driven, so they’re shooting in the dark with their dosage suggestions.  

        We’re not shooting in the dark.

        Instead, we give you precision with actionable, data driven insights with the only NAD test available plus the only NAD optimization supplement. We’ve studied thousands of test results, tried and tested the dosage and ingredients, and discovered, based on scientific evidence, what works for 90% of the population.

        Your body will thank you.

        NAD and age-related diseases

         

        What is NAD?

        Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a necessary molecule for maintaining life and is found in every cell. NAD is involved in redox reactions and comes in two forms: NAD+ and NADH. Insufficient NAD is involved in five out of the nine hallmarks of aging and can increase the risks of age-related diseases such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.

        Energy metabolism

        NAD is necessary for major energy pathways such as glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. All of these pathways produce the body’s energy currency: ATP. When NAD is not available, cells can’t produce enough ATP to sustain important biological processes which leads to suboptimal health.

        Sirtuins: aging regulators

        Sirtuins are enzymes that require NAD+ to function and are involved in five hallmarks of aging. When there are healthy amounts of sirtuins and NAD+ cofactors, they inhibit the hallmarks: epigenetic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunction, deregegulated nutrient sensing, genomic instability, and cellular senescence.

        DNA repair

        The PARP enzymes use NAD to repair DNA to prevent genomic instability, a hallmark of aging.

        The sirtuin enzymes also help prevent genomic instability by helping FOXO transcription factors to bind to DNA and express antioxidant enzymes to protect cells from oxidative stress.

        NAD deficiency accelerates the hallmarks of aging

        When the body does not have enough NAD, all of the above roles are harmed. Without enough NAD, genomic instability, epigenetic alterations, deregulated nutrient sensing, and poor energy metabolism hurt wellness and promote aging. NAD declines with age because it is consumed by enzymes, mainly CD38.

        Hallmarks of aging affected by NAD
        Hallmark Description NAD’s role
        Epigenetic alteration Each of you cells share the same DNA. Epigenetics is what decides which pieces of DNA to use to make proteins and is the reason we have different cell types. With age, our cells become confused and lose some of their ability to function properly within their cell types.
        Loss of proteostasis Proteostasis is the ability of a cell to make stable, functioning proteins. As we age, some cells lose the ability to do this well. Instead, they make ineffective or harmful proteins.
        Mitochondrial dysfunction Mitochondria generate energy in the form of the ATP molecule via the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. These processes are called respiration and produce free radicals that can harm the cell in large numbers. As we age our mitochondria become dysfunctional by producing less ATP and more free radicals.
        Senescence Senescent cells are those that stop dividing. This is a good mechanism for preventing cancer, but it can be harmful because it causes cells to release inflammatory molecules into the body and contribute to chronic inflammation.
        Deregulated nutrient sensing Cells respond to the availability of nutrients in the diet through different pathways. When nutrient sensing is deregulated, cells don’t respond well to nutrients which can lead to conditions such as insulin insensitivity.

        What are the risk factors for NAD deficiency?

        NAD declines with age and contributes to disease

        Obesity is also a risk factor for NAD depletion, possibly because it contributes to chronic inflammation, which causes DNA damage, requires NAD+-consuming PARP hyperactivation.

        NAD deficiency is a common central pathological factor of a number of diseases and aging: cerebral ischemia, myocardial ischemia, diabetes, cancer, metabolic, neurodegenerative diseases, and other age-associated pathologies.

        How can you optimize your NAD levels?

        Supplementation

        NAD precursor supplements have been shown to raise NAD levels in humans.

        Diet and exercise

        Obesity is associated with reduced expression of NAD and sirtuins, whereas weight loss increases NAD and sirtuin expression.

        Exercise has been shown to increase activity of an NAD-synthesizing enzyme called NAMPT.
