Trans-Resveratrol (trans-3, 5, 4'-trihydroxystilbene) is usually just called resveratrol. It is a stilbenoid, a type of natural polyphenol found in plants. Resveratrol has been the subject of thousands of pre-clinical and clinical research studies. It is best known for supporting healthy aging functions), and for supporting metabolism, heart health, immunity, and cognition. Resveratrol is a defense compound that plants make more of when exposed to environmental stressors. It toughens them up, making them more resistant to stress.
Magnesium (from Aquamin® MG) Magnesium is one of the most abundant minerals in the body and plays a vital role in supporting the function of all living cells. It’s used in more than 300 enzymes. ATP (i.e., cellular energy) occurs complexed with ATP, so all enzymes utilizing ATP require magnesium to support their activity. ATP production, particularly through mitochondrial processes, promotes greater NAD+ turnover (the continuous use and recycling of NAD+).
Coffeeberry® is made from organic coffee fruits, which are often called coffee cherries. Like cherries, coffee plants produce soft red fruits surrounding a pit or hard seed. The seed (or coffee “bean”) is roasted to make coffee. But it’s the fruit that is being used to make Coffeeberry®. Similar to many fruits, coffee cherries are high in polyphenols. And like coffee beans, they also contain caffeine. Caffeine has been found to activate AMPK, a key energy-sensing enzyme that plays a significant role in promoting NAD+ biosynthesis.*
B-Complex Vitamins (from Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture) is an inactivated yeast that contains standardized amounts of all eight B vitamins (and thus 8 ingredients within the Qualia NAD+ formula): thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folic acid (B9), and cobalamin (B12). B vitamins have essential roles in cellular metabolism and energy production. Every B vitamin is either a cofactor or a precursor of a cofactor for a key metabolic process. B vitamins are essential for the generation of cell energy as ATP in mitochondria.
