Often referred to as a water-soluble vitamin: meaning that the body does not store them; therefore they must be replaced frequently, especially when the body is under any type of physical or emotional stress. B Complex includes B-1 (thiamine), B-2 (riboflavin), B-3 (niacin), B-5 (pantothenic acid), B-6 (pyridoxine), B-7 (biotin), B-9 (folic acid) and B-12 (cobalamin): These vitamins are essential in maintaining good health and overall bodily function. As the building blocks of a healthy body, B vitamins help the body convert your food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy and help the body metabolize fats and protein. They also have a direct impact on your energy level, brain and nerve function and cell metabolism. They help in red blood cell production, infection prevention, regulation of healthy digestion and appetite, maintenance of hormonal balance, and optimization of cardiovascular health.

Amino Acids: a molecules that combine to form proteins. Amino acids and proteins are the building blocks of life. When proteins are digested or broken down, amino acids are left. The human body uses amino acids to make proteins to help the body: Break down food, grow and repair body tissues. Amino acids are also used as a source of energy by the body.
L-Glutamine is the most abundant and most important amino acid found in the human body. Its primary purpose is to serve as a building block of protein, but it is also a critical part of the immune system and intestinal health. It plays a vital role in metabolic processes, maintains the barrier between the intestines and the rest of the body, detoxifies the liver, and provides fuel to cells in the body.

Coenzyme: are essential components of the many metabolic processes that sustain life on the cellular level. They are defined as non-protein molecule that binds to the active sites of certain enzymes to assist in the catalysis of chemical reaction. Coenzymes are not active on their own and requires the presence of an enzyme to function. While enzymes are proteins, coenzymes are small, non-protein molecules and attaches loosely to enzymes so they can break free after a reaction and be used again. Most coenzymes are vitamins or derived from vitamins in your diet. Examples of coenzymes include: (NAD), (NADP, (FAD), and all of the water-soluble vitamins and two of the fat-soluble vitamins, A and K.
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential amino acid and coenzyme of Niacin (Vitamin B3) that is found in all living cells and plays an important role in the body’s oxidation-reduction reaction. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide exists in two forms: the oxidized and reduced form, (NAD+ and NADH). In a simple term without NAD+, your cells wouldn’t be able to metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids. NAD+ promotes cellular energy by converting food into energy, repairs DNA, and increases the sirtuin enzyme activity which, in the long run can help increase metabolism, decrease inflammation, extend cell life, and prevent neurodegeneration. Among the many advantages, NAD+ has also been shown to provide benefits for anti-aging, as well as recovery from vigorous athletic and mental activities. Many studies have reported that NAD+ levels decline with aging, which contributes to the development of aging-related diseases such as a decline in cognitive function. One of the most impacted organs from NAD+ deficiency is the brain. NAD+ serves as a catalyst in brain renovation, allowing us to restore our supply of neurotransmitters, improve cognitive functioning, mental clarity, alertness, concentration, and memory, overcome anxiety and depression, and other conditions by giving the brain what it needs to return to its proper functioning. It has a powerful capacity to reset the brain to its original set point. Because of its role in energy production and DNA repair, NAD+ may also be used for improving athletic performance and reduce aging effects.
