Exploring the Synergy of Tru Niagen®, PEMF, Red Light Therapy, and More: A Research-Based Approach

If you’re looking for cellular health, mitochondrial support, healthy aging and slowing down the aging process, and more, look no further!!

In the landscape of health and wellness, nicotinamide riboside (NR) has emerged as a groundbreaking nutrient: A unique form of vitamin B3 that plays a crucial role in the health and function of our cells. Every action, thought, and reaction we experience is powered by the intricate interplay of cellular processes, with NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) at the heart of many of these activities.

NAD+, a coenzyme essential for a large number of cellular functions, is central to creating cellular energy and facilitating cellular repair across the trillions of cells in our bodies. It's not just about helping our organs function; NAD+ is pivotal in supporting the overall vitality and resilience of our body at the most fundamental level (and supporting brain and metabolic health). 1

NR: The Precursor to NAD+

As we age, our natural stores of NAD+ begin to diminish, weakened further by lifestyle stressors like excessive alcohol consumption, overtraining, and poor diet. In 2004, a significant breakthrough was made by Dr. Charles Brenner, who discovered the vitamin activity of nicotinamide riboside.2 This discovery was not just about finding another nutrient; it was about uncovering a direct precursor to NAD+, capable of boosting NAD+ levels by 40-50%. 3 

 

Tru Niagen®: Revolutionizing NAD+ Supplementation

While NR is present in certain foods, the quantities are too small to significantly impact NAD+ levels through diet alone. This led to the development of Niagen®, a patented, extensively studied, and safety-reviewed form of nicotinamide riboside, the key active ingredient in Tru Niagen®. Niagen® stands out not just for its effectiveness, but also for its global recognition and acceptances by several regulatory agencies, including the US FDA, ANVISA in Brazil, the European Commission, TGA in Australia, FSANZ, and Health Canada.

Understanding Tru Niagen®: The Science of NAD+ Boosting

Niagen®, the active ingredient in Tru Niagen® , has been scientifically proven to increase NAD+ levels in the body. NAD+ is crucial for cellular energy production, DNA repair, and overall cellular health. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, which may lead to a decrease in these vital cellular functions.

Tru Niagen®'s Benefits:

• Boosts NAD+ Levels: Research shows that taking Tru Niagen® can increase NAD+ levels over 50% in as little as two weeks.
• Supports Cellular Health: Enhanced NAD+ levels aid in cellular repair and maintenance.
• Supports Healthy Aging: By supporting cellular functions, Tru Niagen® can help mitigate some effects of aging.
• Rapid Absorption: Once ingested, NR is swiftly absorbed, efficiently crossing cellular membranes to elevate NAD+ levels.
• Clinical Studies: With over 30 published clinical studies and the backing of Nobel Prize winners, Tru Niagen's efficacy is well-documented.

• Age-Related Decline in NAD+: NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and supplementation with Tru Niagen® has been shown to counteract this, enhancing cellular function and potentially ameliorating age-related ailments.

Combining scientifically-backed supplements and innovative therapies is a great way to supercharge your healing and gain the most benefit. There may be a synergistic potential of combining an NAD+ boosting supplement with three of Therasage's advanced Tri-Lite, TheraPro, and infrared sauna technologies. Drawing on the research and science behind these products, let’s dive into how they may be able to work together to support overall health.

 

1. Tri-Lite (Red Light Therapy) + Tru Niagen®

Red light therapy, utilizing specific wavelengths of light, is known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It works at the cellular level, potentially boosting mitochondrial function and thus, enhancing energy production.

Mechanism of Action

Mitochondrial Stimulation: Red light is absorbed by mitochondria, leading to increased ATP (energy) production.

Cellular Repair and Regeneration: This therapy aids in reducing oxidative stress, promoting healing, and improving skin health.

The Synergistic Potential

Tru Niagen® enhances NAD+ levels, crucial for mitochondrial function, while red light therapy directly stimulates these mitochondria. This dual approach could potentially amplify cellular energy production and rejuvenation.

Areas of Impact

● Healthy Aging: Both interventions aim at cellular health, which is fundamental in aging. The combination could further support healthy aging processes.5

● Brain Health: Improved mitochondrial function is beneficial for supporting brain health.

● Muscle Health: Supporting cellular energy production supports muscle health and recovery.

● Cellular Function and Energy Support: Tru Niagen®'s role in boosting NAD+ levels can be complemented by the energy-enhancing properties of Therasage’s light therapies.

Therasage Tri-Lite:

● Polychromatic LED Technology: Offers a range of healing light frequencies in the red and near-infrared spectrum, which can improve microcirculation and reduce inflammation.

● High BioPhoton Output: Designed to deliver light energy efficiently into the cells.

 

2. TheraPro (PEMF, Red Light, TENS, Infrared) + Tru Niagen®

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy, utilizing electromagnetic fields to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation, operates by enhancing cellular function and improving tissue health. The TheraPro contains red light and infrared, but those are covered in other sections, so this will mainly focus on the PEMF aspect.

 

Mechanism of Action

Cellular Activation: PEMF therapy employs electromagnetic fields to stimulate cells, enhancing their natural repair processes.

Pain Reduction and Tissue Healing: This therapy can reduce pain and inflammation, promoting faster healing and recovery of tissues.

Areas of Impact

● Joint and Muscle Health: Both interventions target cellular health, crucial in the recovery and maintenance of joint and muscle function. It can also help with blood flow!7

● Energy and Vitality: Improved cellular function and energy metabolism could contribute to increased overall vitality and well-being.

● High-Efficiency Energy Transfer: Ensures optimal delivery of therapeutic electromagnetic fields to the targeted tissues.

 

3. Thera360 (Infrared Sauna)

Infrared saunas and light therapy penetrate the skin to provide deep tissue warmth, which can improve circulation, aid in muscle relaxation, and promote detoxification through increased sweating. This form of therapy also helps in reducing inflammation, alleviating pain, and potentially improving skin health by stimulating collagen production.

Mechanism of Action

Deep Tissue Warming: Infrared light penetrates deeper into the skin, warming muscles and joints, which aids in relaxation and pain relief.9

Improved Circulation: The heat from an infrared sauna induces sweating, which helps in detoxifying the body, and improves blood flow, supporting overall health and well-being.10
