Are your aging eyes MISSING this ‘longevity molecule’?

Remember when you NEVER had to see an eye doc… because your vision was already PERFECT?

You’d brag about how FAR AWAY you could see… reading distant signs from behind the wheel…

And how CLOSE you could see, too… holding the newspaper and menus practically right up to your nose.

My, how things have CHANGED!

Now you’re SQUINTING at the eye chart in the DMV office… PRAYING they don’t take your driving privileges away from you!

Friend, don’t let declining vision ROB you of your independence.

There may be something that your aging eyes NEED… but AREN’T getting.

Here’s how to REPLENISH your stores… and hopefully PRESERVE your vision.

ACE your next eye chart test

A “longevity molecule” called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+, was first discovered over 100 years ago, in the year 1906.

Since then, it’s been found in skeletal muscle, fat, skin… the heart, brain, and lungs… and other major organs like your kidneys and liver.

One of its MAJOR functions is to activate sirtuins – a.k.a. proteins that play a key role in SUPPORTING cellular health and EXTENDING lifespan.

That’s why NAD+ has been associated with the SLOWDOWN of aging… and the MAINTENANCE of youthfulness.

Problem is, the older you get, the more your NAD+ reserves can take a nosedive.

By the time you’re 50, you could have just HALF as much NAD+ as you did when you were younger…

And by age 80, your supplies could DWINDLE down to just 1% of what they once were.

It could be because our bodies PRODUCE LESS of it with age… or USE MORE of it to beat back the excess oxidative stress and damage that come with age.

It’s probably some combination of both.

On a cellular level, low NAD+ levels have been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction… which can DEPRIVE you of CRUCIAL cellular energy.

And loss of mitochondrial function and energy has been associated with vision impairments and even vision loss.

That’s right – your eyes need to be sufficiently ENERGIZED by mitochondria, which are known as the “powerhouses” of our cells!

Research has revealed how aging eyes could be LACKING in this molecule… especially in the retina, which is the part of your eye that sends vision signals to your brain.

Turns out, your photoreceptor cells in the back of the retina – a.k.a. your “rods and cones” that help you see light and color – are PARTICULARLY dependent on NAD+ being present.

That means declining NAD+ levels could be implicated in retinal conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD)… diabetic retinopathy… and retinal degeneration.

Unfortunately, supplementing with NAD+ directly isn’t the best way to REPLENISH your dwindling supply. Your body will break it down into smaller parts… and then have to reassemble it back into NAD+.

However, your body can produce NAD+ from certain precursors, like various forms of vitamin B3 including… nicotinic acid (a.k.a. niacin)

• niacinamide (NAM)
• nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), and
• nicotinamide riboside (NR)

In a 2016 study, researchers gave NMN to mice and observed IMPROVED eye function… including tear production, which could RESOLVE dry eyes.

And in another 2016 animal study, NMN helped SLAM THE BRAKES on cellular degeneration… and even RESTORED lost vision!

Another form of vitamin B3 mentioned above, NR, demonstrated the ability to help PROTECT retinas against light damage in an animal study published last year.

The study subjects given NR before light exposure had THICKER retinal tissue… LESS retinal cell death… and DECREASED inflammation.

In humans, research has shown that even a single dose of NR could increase NAD+ levels.

And a 2018 study on middle-aged and older folks showed that NR was safe to take… and doesn’t carry the risks of side effects like the niacin “flush.”

Look for NMN or NR supplements in capsule form at your local health food store or online.

A patented form of NR is sold under the brand name Tru Niagen.
