The body's unique ability to repair itself, with a little outside help, is the focus of a growing sphere of longevity science. One area of research concerns a molecule, known as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which plays a key role in many biological processes. NAD+ declines as we age, but research has shown that, through supplementation, youthful levels can be restored, helping us to age better.
In this episode, Dr Nichola Conlon, a molecular biologist and co-founder of Nuchido Laboratories, based in North -East England, discusses her mission to develop nutraceuticals to stimulate rejuvenation.
In conversation with Peter Bowes, Nichola explains her passion for nutritional interventions designed to enhance healthspan; she addresses the need to educate people about the relevance of biogerontology research and the new products that could significantly improve our quality of life.
