NAD+ Infusion

The discovery of NAD+ was a fundamental milestone in the history of biochemistry. It occurred in the early 20th century thanks to curiosity about how fermentation processes worked. The Key Year: 1906: British biochemists Sir Arthur Harden and William John Young were the first to detect this substance. They were studying how yeast fermented sugar to produce alcohol. The Experiment: They discovered that if they boiled yeast extract, it lost its ability to ferment. However, if they added a component that did not degrade with heat (thermostable), fermentation was reactivated. They initially called this heat-stable factor “coferment”. Its Identification: Decades later, in the 1930s, other scientists, including Nobel laureates Hans von Euler-Chelpin and Otto Heinrich Warburg, managed to purify and identify the chemical structure of this “coferment”, revealing it to be Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+). They also demonstrated its crucial role in energy transfer reactions within cells. More >>

Glutathione

Unlike other components discovered in humans, glutathione was first identified in microorganisms:

1888: French scientist J. de Rey-Pailhade was the first to isolate this substance from yeast and other animal tissues. He initially named it “philothion” (from the Greek philos, meaning love, and theion, meaning sulfur), due to its high affinity for and content of sulfur.

1921: Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, a prominent British biochemist, rediscovered the molecule and gave it the name we know today: Glutathione. Hopkins demonstrated that it was a tripeptide (a chain of three amino acids) essential for cellular metabolism.

1935: Finally, the exact chemical structure (composed of the amino acids cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine) was confirmed by chemist Sydney Gabriel.

Key Benefits
Glutathione is often called the “master antioxidant” because it is the only one capable of recycling other antioxidants in the body to keep them functioning.

1. Hepatic Detoxification
It is primarily responsible for neutralizing toxins in the liver. It binds to heavy metals, pollutants, and chemicals so the body can eliminate them safely.

2. Strengthening the Immune System
Your white blood cells (the “soldiers” of the immune system) depend on optimal glutathione levels to reproduce and effectively attack viruses or bacteria.

3. Skin Health and Anti-Aging
It helps combat the oxidative stress that causes wrinkles and age spots. Additionally, it has a natural skin-brightening effect by inhibiting excessive melanin production.

4. Reduction of Inflammation
High glutathione levels help reduce systemic inflammation, which is beneficial for muscle recovery after exercise and for individuals with chronic inflammatory conditions.

5. DNA Protection
It acts as a protective shield for your mitochondria (the cell’s power plants), preventing oxidative damage from altering the cellular genetic code.
